Sara Angelucci: Undergrowth | June 3 - August 26, 2023
Curated by Shannon Anderson
Toronto photo-based artist Sara Angelucci transforms found photographs and creates images exposing the cultural and historical conditions outside the image frame, bringing attention to the social forces that generate the language of photography. Over the last decade, she has refined her focus to consider how photographic practices have contributed to the divide between humans and nature. Through acts of empathy, embodiment, and envisioning, the works in Undergrowth seek to reconcile our fraught relationship with the natural world, addressing one of the most critical issues of our time.
Undergrowth is co-presented by the Art Gallery of Sudbury, the Varley Art Gallery of Markham, the Tom Thomson Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery of Mississauga. A publication through ECW Press is available for purchase at the Gallery.
Curator Tour with Shannon Anderson: Saturday June 10, 2023 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Artist talk with Sara Angelucci: Saturday July 15, 2023 from 11:00am to 12:00pm

How can we bloom restitution? is an exhibition of work from the Gallery's Collection in support of a community-wide initiative to establish a pollinator corridor in Owen Sound.

Featured artists include: Gisele Gomtois-Osgood, Frank Carmichael, Ethel Seath, Jack Chambers, Mike MacDonald, Jean Dawson, Bruno Bobak, Aganetha Dyck, David B. Milne, Charles Goldhamer, Dorothy Knowles, George E. McLean, A.J. Casson.
