After All : a colloquium of micro-disasters and subtle apocalypses…
A curated show by Clare Samuel and Agi Gutkowska.
Opening on Oct 5th at 7 – 11 pm and running till Oct 27th at the Steam Whistle Gallery.
After All is a colloquium of micro-disasters and subtle apocalypses, little mistakes and lonely wanderers, absences and distortions, created by eight young visual artists. Both melancholy and acerbic, the works speak to the aftermath of arbitrary and fictitious disasters. Darkness has already descended, and the sensation is one of being unsettled for good, and yet, escape routes and alarm-bells appear to be built-in to each misfortune.

The Happiness Project: In the House presented by Artist Bloc, turns the album The Happiness Project by Charles Spearin into an interactive, installation-based exhibit within the walls of a residential setting. Local artists are enlisted to interpret songs from the album and are challenged to weave their own experience of the songs, as well as their own definition of happiness, into the works. Each artists’ installation becomes a unique expression of joy and an exercise in welcoming the community into an intimate community space. This exhibit has already been hosted in Montreal to critical acclaim.
