2026 First Quarter
The Mystery Spot
A new year brings new possibilities, variables and opportunities. Within those possibilities lies mystery. At the darkest time of year, when light is a precious commodity, it’s important to be comfortable with the unknown, or at least, comfortably uncomfortable.
A comfort zone is a wonderful, warm, welcoming, inspiring and beautiful thing, but there is always more to find beyond that which is known by any one of us. The comfort zone expands, becomes archipelagic, or moves halfway across the world. So too then do the stories, the possibilities and the expectations.
Enter the mystery spot. This season of exhibitions is an ode to the idea that the entrance to a public art gallery should be a threshold, beyond which, anything is possible. It shares the name with a roadside attraction that advertises itself with nothing more than a question mark in garish yellow and black. Instant imagination fuel. Instant wonder. If I could drive, I’d certainly turn in.
Anchored by the first Canadian exhibition by artist Alexis de Chaunac which bares the same name, each of these 3 shows explore the mysteries of the everyday, the uncanny, the fragile state of our reality and how much more we truly have left
to learn.

The Mystery Spot - Multi-media installation featuring artist Alexis de Chaunac February 28 to April 4
