6 The RAW power of art Up To and Including Their Limits

On February 20, the Gardiner hosted the international debut of a new performance work titled Up To and Including Their Limits by acclaimed artist Cassils. Known for testing the limits of their physical endurance, Cassils’ provocative and often startling work centres narratives of trans and non-binary visibility and presence. The performance, commissioned by the Gardiner, was presented in partnership with the Canadian Gay and Lesbian Archives.

Tickets, which included an accessible artist price, sold out within minutes. A captivated audience of local artists, culture seekers, Gardiner supporters, and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community watched as Cassils—suspended from a harness in a Plexiglas box with walls covered in thick, raw clay—launched themselves back and forth, clawing, swinging at the walls, and hurling chunks of clay to the floor. The event was unlike anything to be presented at the Gardiner before, drawing in new audiences and generating media coverage in The Globe and Mail, NOW Magazine, and Xtra.

7 RAW

The remnants of Cassils’ performance, including video footage, were on display in the ground- breaking exhibition RAW, which opened to the public on March 5. Co-presented by Kim Spencer McPhee Barristers PC and The Rooney Family Foundation, RAW featured four new installations commissioned by the Gardiner from leading artists working with unfired clay: Cassils, Magdolene Dykstra, Azza El Siddique, and Linda Swanson. The installations were all dynamic, transforming throughout the run of the exhibition as the clay was exposed to air, water, and human intervention.

While the exhibition closed to the public for the first time only a week after it debuted, it reopened in July and was extended until November 8. During that time, we were able to offer free weekend admission, making the work accessible to a wider audience.

We also hosted virtual talks with each of the four artists, allowing us to delve deeper into the works and create a life for the exhibition beyond its physical run.

8 Slow Art Day

On April 4, the Gardiner participated in Slow Art Day, a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. Through a series of posts on social media, we invited our followers to engage in a slow looking exercise based on Linda Swanson’s TEMPLUM OF A PRECIOUS THING OF NO VALUE, A SHAPELESS THING OF MANY SHAPES.

Earth Day: Seed Bomb Making for Positive Resistance

On April 22, we moved our Earth Day programming inspired by RAW online. In a video posted to our website and social media channels, artist and placemaker Gelareh Saadatpajouh demonstrated the process of making a seed bomb, a ball of seeds rolled into a mix of clay and compost.

9 Showcasing the next generation

The annual Sheridan Graduate Show, supported by the RBC Emerging Artist Project, showcased work by the graduating class of the Sheridan College Ceramics Program, giving a platform to the next generation of local ceramic artists. The works reflected the students’ diverse experiences and individual points of view. The Gardiner Museum Award was presented to Jamaican-born artist Shannon Weston, whose work is inspired by African scarification patterns.

With the physical Museum closed for the majority of the exhibition’s run, the Gardiner team created a series of three videos for our website and social media channels that feature interviews with the artists and documentation of their processes. The videos brought increased exposure to the students’ work and remain online as digital a record of exhibition.
