Propeller Gallery: Out Of This World - Curators’ Panel Discussion
Join us on Saturday July 14, from 1:30-3:00pm for a Curators’ Panel Discussion: Understanding Astronomical Images, with Paul Delaney, York University.
July 4 - 22 | Out Of This World | Juried Group Exhibition
2018 marks a century-and-a-half of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's (RASC) promotion of astronomy and allied sciences in Canada. From early on, the RASC has encouraged exploring the connections of astronomy with other areas of culture, an interest which continues to the present. Propeller Gallery has partnered with the RASC to present an exhibition celebrating their sesquicentennial.
Astronomy, with its highly evocative imagery, and mindboggling and mindbending ideas about our Universe, provides artists with richly visual and deeply conceptual inspiration. Out of This World features a diverse array of work inspired by the cosmos, ranging from the visualization of astronomical data to textiles, video and installation. A select number of works from the archives of the RASC are also presented.
Participating Artists: Michael Black | Linda-Marlena Bucholtz Ross | David Cumming | Chris Domanski | Trinley Dorje | Dan Falk | Maya Foltyn | Peter Friedrichsen | Susan Gaby-Trotz | Aryan Ghaemmaghami | David Griffin | Xianda Guo, Charlotte Mueller, Sinead Lynch, Ramona Fluck, Christoph Blapp & Jayanne English | Diana Hamer | Chris Harms | Angela Julian | Adam Kolodziej | Irena IRiKO Kolodziej | Nancy Lalicon | Michelle Letarte | Shannon Leigh | Elizabeth Lopez | Trevor McKinven | France McNeil | John Ming Mark | Giuseppe Morano | Sarah Moreau | Joseph Muscat | Pria Muzumdar | Neeko Paluzzi | Frances Patella | Donna Wells | Donna Wise | plus archival work from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
