Sarnia, ON – The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is pleased to announce several upcoming Art & Ideas programs which will be hosted virtually via Zoom.
Art & Ideas is a series of live discussions focused on expanding the ideas and topics found in current exhibitions or artwork from the JNAAG's permanent collection. Registration is required, and can be completed through the Art & Ideas page of the JNAAG website.
Artist Talk with Susan Dobson
Thursday, July 8 at 7 p.m.
The exhibition Focus Finder features photographs of Lake Huron that are visually interrupted by the viewfinders of cameras. Join artist Susan Dobson as she discusses how her work aims to operate not just as transcription, but also as metaphor and poetry, framed within the anxiety of the present moment.
Artist Talk with Lee Henderson
Thursday, July 15 at 7 p.m.
The exhibition An Abridged Sonic History of Global Conflict questions the intentions behind (and subsequent effects of) band names that use war-related themes and vocabulary. Join contemporary artist Lee Henderson for an in-depth conversation about the exhibition and where his art practice is heading.
Enter Astral Island for Imaginary Wednesdays
Wednesday, July 28 at 7 p.m.
This Art & Ideas session will celebrate the release of the exhibition publication To the Unseen Future, which was the feature exhibition at JNAAG in 2018.
Join us online for a live discussion between artist James Kirkpatrick (Thesis Sahib) and rap legend Jesse Dangerously as the duo review Kirkpatrick’s artistic career. This evening will feature a musical performance and be simulcast on Twitch.
Back in Judy’s Jungle with Lee Henderson
Thursday, August 5 at 7 p.m.
Lee Henderson returns for a second Art & Ideas where he will spin a chronology of military-themed punk, metal, and glam rock in conjunction with his exhibition An Abridged Sonic History of Global Conflict.
