The Edward Day Gallery group exhibition, Explicit Devotion, reflects on restrictions imposed on sexually explicit content. Whether through signage warning viewers of 'inappropriate material' or concealing black curtains, censorship in its many forms leads to restriction of thought, restriction of action and restriction of creativity. The exhibition will be featured in the month of October and over the Art Toronto weekend.

Release

Opening: Thursday June 10, 2010

Peter Hill

Genesis and the Mapping of Memory

May 1 - 30, 2010
Opening: Saturday May 1st,
2-4pm

In his new show of photographs and paintings, Peter Hill illuminates the process of growth, memory and synchronicity. His paintings have incorporated a specific process for the last seven years. The first step consists of mixing colours, media and water directly on the canvas. The effect produces a swamp of activity and reactions that have been captured through the lens of a camera.

The recorded physical changes on the canvas help uncover this transformational process. In the transforming alchemy, there are cues that define the landscape. In following the “instinctive tourism of infancy” Peter has captured the genesis of their growth and in the process, has created a new relationship between painting and photography.

John Oswald

Jesse Boles

February 4th - March 9th, 2010
(MAIN GALLERY)
Opening Reception: Saturday February 6th, 2-4pm

Boles has been working in the Hamilton area to create an extension of his Crude Landscape series with new large-scale photographs depicting 21st Century interior landscapes of industrial spaces. Boles' compositions "consciously build upon the tradition of the 19th century landscape painting, and impress us with the sublime scale of modern industry. Boles also calls to mind cinematic scenes; his images often trace zones of industrial activity through artificial light." - Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Dianne Bos

February 4th - March 9th, 2010
(NORTH GALLERY)
Opening Reception: Saturday February 6th, 2-4pm

Dianne Bos has received national and international acclaim for her innovative work with pinhole photography. Bos states: “My work challenges the view of photography as a way to “capture an instant in time.” By using pinhole cameras and long exposure times I record, not an instant, but rather the passage of time at a site."
