October 1 - Come and See Chris Rogers at Nuit Blanche


On October 1 at 92 College Street (East of University Avenue), Chris Rogers, along with Graham Rogers and Dave Wood will be exhibiting their audio-video installation Coevality, 2011:

Coevality is an interactive audio-video installation which focuses on co-existence and transformation. A trio of artists from two generations will capture the creative process of a traditional painting and transpose that into a contemporary digital projection using the wall of a historical Victorian building as their canvas. Comprised of elements and themes inspired by a visual timeline of Toronto's urban cityscape, a painting by Chris Rogers will be broken down into its most fundamental layers, each individually filmed in real time as they are painted. Through the resulting projection the audience will experience every brush stroke as they are simultaneously laid down to create a complete work, inspiring contemplation on the themes of modern advancement in our habitat and in our art.

Coevality: originating or existing during the same period, lasting through the same era.

Chris Rogers is a visual artist, working primarily in 2-D. She lives and works in Mono Township, Ontario. Graham Rogers and Dave Wood are local film makers specializing in digital editing and artistic design, respectively. This is their first collaboration.

Suitable for all ages

It will be a bit of a celebration since he has not had a show for the last three years.

You can preview his paintings (old and new) on his updated website, www.arnolddegraaffartist.com. There will be cards of his paintings and handmade booklets created from Arnold’s artwork by his partner Rita Reitsma.

Sept 28 - Oct 10 - Diana Hillman’s Open Studio at Silver Creek Farm

 
September 24 and 25, 10 am - 5 pm; October 1 and 2, 10 am - 5 pm; October 8 and 9, 10 am - 5 pm; or by appointment

Once again the historic Silver Creek Farm will be showing an eclectic collection of contemporary art during the Headwaters Arts Festival. This year, guests Rosemary Molesworth and Gail Prussky will join the group. Rosemary Molesworth's wonderfully evocative and amusing imagery from ancient and modern sources inspire her decorative functional pottery. Gail Prussky's dreamlike, abstract acrylic paintings draw the viewer into her mind for a moment.

Susan Powell's watercolour nudes and landscapes are created with a passionate eye and Ian Sinclair’s hand-crafted rustic furniture is made from carefully chosen wood to create accent pieces for gardens and homes. Diana Hillman's unique Points of View oils (pictured above) delight us and allow us to enjoy scenes of country and city life; ferris wheels in country fields, passing views from her car window or every day pastoral settings. Hugh Russel's sculptures capture movement and moments in bronze allowing us the time to get wrapped up in the emotion of his subject and to weave our own stories around what we see. 

Diana Hillman’s Open Studio at Silver Creek Farm is located at 16849 Kennedy Rd., Caledon. For more information: 519-927-5639 or visit online at www.silvercreekcaledon.com.
