Event Details:

As part of the exhibition Looking Through Time, which celebrates 50 years of artwork by George Glenn, we invite you to weekly Coffee & Conversation with George. Chat about art, the exhibition, and the developments and consistencies that emerge over a span of 50 years of artmaking.

This is also an opportunity to purchase artworks from the exhibition.

These casual gatherings will take place on Fridays from March 14th to April 17th at the John V. Hicks Gallery (Margo Fournier Arts Centre, 1010 Central Avenue).

More information about this exhibition:

In 1975, George Glenn rode the bus from Regina to Prince Albert. Fresh from his graduate studies in Cincinnati and a year in France, he was about to embark on an artist residency in north-central Saskatchewan. The residency was supported by the Saskatchewan Arts Board (now SK Arts) and was to be one year in length. After a warm welcome to Prince Albert by Margreet van Walsem, George grew to become a formative presence in the fine arts community. His one-year residency has stretched to five decades. In this time he has developed a distinct visual language, steeped in a contemplation of meaning created by the relationships between the objects, landscapes, and spaces in his life.

This exhibition brings together paintings, drawings, and installation pieces that George has created in the past 50 years. It shows not only the development in his thinking, but what has persisted in his practice: his inner sensitivity to beauty, space for the unseen, the nuanced conditions that affect ways of seeing, and the link between personal and global narratives. These considerations occur within the realm of experimentation, reflection, and observation in George’s studio.

Curated by Jesse Campbell with support from SK Arts.

The artworks in this exhibition change on a weekly basis. Every Monday beginning on March 10, new artworks will be installed in the gallery to show connections and developments throughout George’s practice. This website will be updated each week with images of the installations.
