Derek Pho
Forbidden Mechanisms: a Chalk and Temporal Art Show
March 5 - 31, 2026
Just as a phosphorescent light breaks through the darkness, visions can come to us in the night or when we close our eyes. They are temporal–like chalk dust on a board–but can lead to the divine or sublime, so we must be mindful.
Derek Pho is a local visual artist who–when he's not teaching art at The Neil Balkwill or creating art on his own–loves to hang out at home with his family and playing with their cats in mindful harmony. This mindfulness has developed into a daily exercise which has informed and improved the quality of his entire life.

MAIN GALLERY
The Thread of the Wish: Nègar Devine-Tajgardan, Lara Felsing, David Garneau, Adrian Golban
January 30 - March 28, 2026
opening reception: Friday, January 30, 5-8 PM
The Thread of the Wish is a group exhibition that explores weaving and other interlace textile practices, examining their roles in storytelling, particularly within racialized and religiously diverse communities. The exhibition title, drawn from Sigmund Freud’s essay on creativity, reflects how the past and future are connected by the thread of desire, including desire for a better world, to heal from harm, and to understand the past. Textiles are often closely connected with our bodies, providing shelter, comfort, and warmth, while also telegraphing our identities through the woven designs that adorn our bodies and living spaces. Fingers weave together many threads, speaking of the intertwined nature of our lives and the labour of expressing an identity.
