AGH Magazine On Display: Gallery Level 1

Art Gallery of Hamilton

- August 18, 2020

It has been one month since we reopened our doors to the public, and we have been overwhelmed by the immense support of our visitors heading back to the Gallery. Of course, we understand that some of our regular visitors are not yet comfortable heading in to see our exhibitions, so we invite you all to continue engaging with us online! Whether you have made the trip recently or not, we have so many arts experiences available for you right here in the AGH Magazine. This week, we’re highlighting all the articles looking at our current Gallery Level 1 exhibitions.

Early Snow: Michael Snow 1947-1962

Early Snow Exhibition Showcase: A to Z and Wavelength
An exhibition exploring Snow’s formative years wouldn’t be complete without Snow’s first surviving film, A to Z (1956). This Exhibition Showcase explores Snow’s animation work in conversation with his film masterpiece, Wavelength (1967).

Early Snow Exhibition Response: (F)NOR’s UNDERCUT
At our Early Snow exhibition opening, local artist collective (F)NOR staged a performance in response to Snow’s iconic Walking Women. In this article, AGH Director of Programs and Education Tor Lukasik-Foss detailed the performance itself and the impact it had upon the opening’s audience.

Snow in April: This Month in Michael Snow’s History
A career as prolific as Michael Snow’s would be impossible to cover in a single exhibition, let alone a single article: this article provides a glimpse into the artist’s history focusing specifically on his achievements in Aprils throughout his career.

Snow in August: This Month in Michael Snow’s History
Following up on “Snow in April,” this article picks back up the project of detailing months in Michael Snow’s history, turning this time to the artist’s achievements in August.

The Contemporaries

The Contemporaries Exhibition Showcase: The Isaacs Gallery
As an exhibition focusing on two distinct artist groups, we felt it necessary to provide clear pictures of each group’s development and relevance. This article looks to the Isaacs Gallery artists as a group dead set on setting itself apart from the crowd.

The Contemporaries Exhibition Showcase: Painters Eleven
The second half of our Contemporaries Exhibition Showcase article series, this article traces the development of the Painters Eleven, a group of abstract artists born out of a shared frustration towards the strict, conservative Toronto culture of the 1950s.
