“Perimeter” an exhibition of recent Work by Bernadette Peets at #Hashtag Gallery

“Perimeter” is an exhibition of recent work by Bernadette Peets of Akin Dupont coming soon to #Hashtag Gallery (830 Dundas St West). The show runs from March 28 - April 7, 2019.

Bernadette’s work explores the natural beauty of the Canadian landscape and the concept of ‘sharing space’. Opening Reception is March 30th from 7:00-11:30pm.

About Bernadette Peets
Bernadette is a Toronto born artist and an Akin Dupont studio member. Although she mainly uses painting as her medium she has also included three dimensional installation work as well as other pictorial devices that include shadow boxes, photographs, drawing and printmaking.

Akin Vitrine Gallery + Rebecca Jane Houston

We are excited to feature new work by returning artist and Akin Dupont member, Rebecca Jane Houston. Rebecca’s piece, “Perfect Circle” will be on exhibit in our Vitrine galleries located at 1485 Dupont and 1747 St. Clair Avenue West over the next two months.

Can I draw circles through past and current work? If I line it all up, an accumulation of stuff made over 5 years, is there a thread to draw them together? When I was in my MFA, I spent a lot of time trying to make perfect spheres on the wood lathe. It was a meditative process and more than that it was a claiming of space as a woman in a wood shop through my presence; by taking up space and time at the tools, and doing it in a feminist way that valued process over “expertise”, open experimentation over “mastery”. Of course I only see this in retrospect. In the vitrine you can see the collection of wood spheres made on the lathe in various stages of completion. In 2017, while working on a project making 100 slip cast bowls, something I hadn’t done before, I kept the trimmings by hanging them all over my studio where they dried and many crumbled. The ones left, that survived all the moving and firing and handling, are hanging here in the vitrine as well. Another set of circles, all warped and drooping. Each like a line drawing, but in three dimensions. I was partly successful in making these bowls, it was also somewhat disastrous. Finally, the two ceramic sculptures were made with casts of spheres in clay. This was just another experiment. They were to represent a bubbling up of feeling. I don’t know if it really happened but again I learned something and moved on to the next thing. I have gathered these three collections of circles together to see if there is a meaning that brings me back in circular ways through similar considerations. Or perhaps it’s just a random collection of things.

‘Perfect Circles’ will be on view for the month of November in our Dupont Akin Vitrine Gallery, located in the Clock Factory Building at 1485 Dupont Street (entrance on Campbell Avenue).

Akin Lansdowne artist Monique Resnick at the Orillia Museum of Art and History and Riverdale Gallery

Akin Lansdowne artist Monique Resnick will be showing works in two upcoming exhibitions in September and October: The Carmichael Canadian Landscape Exhibition: Tradition Transformed at the Orillia Museum of Art & History, and A Living Mosaic at the Riverdale Gallery. More information on both shows below:

Carmichael Canadian Landscape Exhibition: Tradition Transformed
The Orillia Museum of Art & History - 30 Peter St South, Orillia, On
Exhibition dates: September 23 – November 26, 2017
Reception: September 29 | 7—9pm
www.orilliamuseum.org

The Carmichael Canadian Landscape Exhibition: Tradition Transformed was created in recognition of Group of Seven member, Franklin Carmichael, who was born in Orillia. Now in its 16th year, this juried show calls on artists from across the country to submit work that embraces, challenges, comments, critiques, echoes, re-works or strengthens images, perceptions and interpretations of Canadian landscape through the artist's chosen medium.

Monique will be showing a painting entitled 'Disparities'. 

Monique’s approach to art involves viewing the subject matter from a literal 30,000 feet. Specifically she uses Google Map imagery to assess and depict the relationship between the land and those who occupy it. By taking this approach the viewer is able to evaluate the discrepancies fuelled by conspicuous consumption. From population density to the degree of resources required to manicure lawns, Monique forces the viewer to acknowledge that which they may not have otherwise been exposed to. This painting depicts the expansive grounds of an estate home, standing in contrast to smaller or ‘modest’ homes. The source comes from subdivisions and estate homes in her hometown of York Region.


A Living Mosaic: The Cartography of Origins and Settlement
Riverdale Gallery - 1326 Gerrard St E, third floor, Toronto, On
Exhibition dates: September 30 and October 1
www.riverdalegallery.ca

A Living Mosaic is a two day celebratory event and month long exhibition that offers a fresh take on Canadian identity. The exhibition aims to pay tribute to the varying stories of origin that lend vibrancy into our collective society, specifically highlighting Indigenous and immigrant histories in Canada. Featuring the work of thirteen local artists, Living Mosaic represents a broad spectrum of experience and historical perspectives that together acknowledge the past, celebrate the present, and look toward building a bright future. 

Monique will be showing a piece entitles 'The Synagogue Project'.

The Synagogue Project sets out to capture all the synagogues in the city of Toronto and York Region. Monique's interest lies in the way religious and cultural groups morph and mobilize to suit the needs of their communities. Her own Synagogue Beth Tikvah had a day school in it, where she once attended Hebrew School. Due to the decline of the Jewish population in the Willowdale area the school had to close its doors but the sanctuary has remained open.

Many of the structures documented in this piece are situated along Bathurst Street- knows for its historical and contemporary ties to the Jewish community. The architectural details captured tend to denote the different groups within the Jewish religion; Sephardic shuls have Mediterranean influence whereas the Askhenazi structures borrow from North American architecture. The piece is not set in time but forever evolving. Synagogues are demolished, transformed, erected and converted thus this piece is really only a starting point. One of the synagogues captured here (Shaar Shalom) has shuttered within the past year due to population change, it will become the site of a Catholic school.

The length of the residency is negotiable ranging anywhere from one week to two months, depending on the wants and needs of the artist(s).
