Artist and Curator
Online, Thursday 29 October, 1–2:30 pm
Join us on Zoom for an exchange between artist Shannon Bool and Anne-Marie St-Jean Aubre, Curator of Contemporary Art, Musée d’art de Joliette. To introduce the exhibition Modernism and Its Discontents, the pair will use video documentation to reflect on Bool’s amalgamation of opposing materials, techniques and concepts to invent aesthetic “cases of dissociation.” They will discuss Bool’s practice in relation to the unconscious drives of Modernism in art and architecture, followed by a Q&A session.
Co-presented with Daniel Faria Gallery.
Visitors look closely at Shannon Bool’s work in Modernism and Its Discontents.

Online, Thursdays through 12 November, 4–5:30 pm
 Adults are invited to explore artistic processes through experimentation and play. If you are looking for more guidance, our art therapist and facilitator is present to support your creative journey by offering inspired thematic projects. Art Hive @Agnes addresses themes of empowerment, wellness and self-care, while fostering a safe space and a sense of community. No artistic experience is necessary and projects are designed to use materials you already have on hand. The upcoming projects include Zine Collage on 29 October and Keith Harring Roll-A-Dice on 5 November.
This accessible program is free and made possible through the generous support of the Birks Family Foundation.
