Ritual & Lore
August 28 - October 31, 2020
Ayla Dmyterko, Blair Fornwald & Brette Gabel, Audie Murray, Marigold Santos, Zoë Schneider
curated by Jess Richter
Main Gallery exhibition that explores traditional modes of knowledge, ranging from pre-colonial traditions, rituals from the “Old World” witchcraft, paganism, and other (often) pre-Christian rituals. These give people a sense of place in the world and assist in reclaiming identity or culture. Things once dismissed as antiquated, mere stories, and pagan traditions are being given new life by new practitioners as well as elders passing on their knowledge. The artists in Ritual & Lore explore the place of tradition and folk knowledge in their daily lives and identities, incorporating rituals, craft, and stories into their creative practices.
Where the Sky Carries The Sun
online project: www.tofeelclose.com
October 27 - November 9, 2020
Katherine Boyer
Through distance and closure, there is the potential to become closer: closer to artist's processes, research and the experiences that inform their work.
The Art Gallery of Regina, in partnership with AKA Artist-Run (Saskatoon), offers intimate glimpses into artist Katherine Boyer's online sketchbook. Boyer explores quieted, liminal spaces where elements meet as metaphorically conducive to understanding the fluidity of personal and cultural identity through family archives. Boyer's research and art-making labour spans (and bridges) textiles, carpentry and horizon lines. Boyer harnesses architecture to begin unraveling what we know and how we know it.
Due to COVID-19 disruptions, the Art Gallery of Regina rescheduled Boyer's solo exhibition, Where the Sky Carries the Sun, for 2022.
*Tofeelclose.com is organized by AKA artist-run
