Attendees will explore the Art Gallery of Regina's current exhibition (Between Us) and utilize art as a tool to inspire their own creative work. Experimenting with perspectives, ekphrastic writing (poems written about works of art) can open doors for creative minds. With options for both group discussions and individual writing exercises, join us and see where your vision takes you!

A Pea Can Be Chopped Up and Reassembled Into The Sun: Phomohobes, Paul Robles, Gerry Ruecker, Rhayne Vermette

essay by exhibition curator Sandee Moore

​

What do the magician, the mathematician and the collage artist all have in common? Exhibition curator Sandee Moore connects how these three figures cut up and reassemble bits of the world to create more than what they've started with. She carves up the exhibition into an imagined set of artists' materials - the cut, the rabbit/duck, the frame, infinity, the impossible - and compares the magical generative role of collage to a geometric theorem that proves that cutting and rearranging can increase the volume of matter.

Aganetha Dyck, who became an artist while living in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, has been creating artwork assisted by honeybees and beekeepers for over 20 years. Dyck shares her experiences and examples of artwork created in collaboration with honeybees in this online artist’s talk, in discussion with AGR curator Sandee Moore.

​

Dyck’s Mennonite heritage and its emphasis on thrift is a source of inspiration for her artwork in which she commonly gives new life to broken and discarded items. Famously, she has reshaped wool sweaters into tiny, shrunken effigies, used family pickling recipes to preserve buttons from the sewing factory that occupied her studio before it was a space for artists and placed hand-crocheted doilies and broken porcelain figurines into beehives to be “mended” by the bees. Dyck’s artworks reframe bees as conscious agents who are creative and multisensorial communicators. While empathy for these insects will not be new to beekeepers, Dyck’s artworks reveal possibilities for the public to dismiss their fear and instead experience empathy and caring for all pollinators.

Main Gallery Exhibition 

 

Between Us: Nicole Charlebois-Rinas, Denise Flaman, George Glenn, Last Birds, Kelly Litzenberger, Judy McNaughton, Jeff Meldrum, Tim Moore, Melanie Monique Rose, Chantel Schultz, Sylvia Thompson, Hanna Yokozawa Farquharson​

​

Between Us is an exhibition of artworks – drawings, sculptures and sound art – resulting from inter-species collaboration between artists and honeybees.

 

"Between Us" refers to the distances and differences between us and what we, as humans and insects, have in common.

 

Just as bees bridge gaps with honeycomb, the outcomes of this multi-year project join artists, beekeepers, honeybees and audiences in a shared process of learning and wonder.

DATES

January 18 - March 4

Opening reception: Jan. 18, 7-9 PM

Amy Snider
Crushed

 

Amy Snider's fragile vessels of local clay hand-dug by the artist invite visitors to share in her experience of eco-anxiety. Filling the AGR's display case with delicate bowls that disintegrate through proximity to the slightest movement, Snider's exhibition Crushed is a metaphor for our collective implication in environmental destruction.
