On the Eighth Day
​
October 10th to November 21st

In many spiritual traditions, the number Seven represents a special signifier for the natural manner in which life flows, in a cyclical escalating evolution from inception to completion. In the biblical story of Genesis, God rested on the seventh day after having created our world, all of its beings, including the first two humans. Regardless of how one interprets this creation story and the supposed fall and exile of humans, on the Eighth Day, humans entered into a co-creative relationship with the Creator. Today is still the Eighth Day.

On the Eighth Day, is an exhibition of works by Julie Oakes and Christian Bernard Singer that explores the act of creating as inherently linked to the ability to destroy in order to bring about harmony and peace, or chaos and loss. As we grapple with the climate crisis and a world pandemic, humans are being given an opportunity to review our relationship with the land that we were given, but on which we are merely passing tenants.

An Exhibition of art by Gallery Members contemplating the 'Female Gaze'

Exhibition opens August 22nd with an *Open House: 
COVID Safe visitors inside the gallery will be limited to 10 at a time throughout the day


2020 - contemplating the female gaze Female Gaze Curatorial Notes:

The female gaze is a feminist film theoretical term representing the gaze of the female viewer.
It is a response to feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey's term, "the male gaze", which represents not only the gaze of a heterosexual male viewer but also the gaze of the male character and the male creator of the film.

Wikipedia In Art: The female gaze is a term used in recent years to describe art that undermines the power and authority of the ever present male perspective.

"The term, female gaze, was introduced to me in an art school during a gender studies class, we studied the work of artists Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer. We discussed books written by Jane Rule, Erica Jong (Fear of Flying), and Anais Nin and watched the 1990 Canadian documentary, The Burning Times. We looked at films and debated the current mood(s) of popular culture. Very much one of my favorite classes, but keep in mind this all took place between 1989 and 1992. It is now 2020, and the female gaze is taking on a much broader scope than in previous years. Society’s definition of gender is opening up, and we recognize all the word identity encompasses. We now think of femininity as a spectrum, expanding the conversation of what it means to be female. Me Looking at You, Looking at Me, brings together artists who are challenging, expanding and exploring the definition of female and the term female gaze while adding to the conversation of identity."
