Exhibition on view // Zoe Kreye: I know about lots of things I’ve never seen. And so do you.

Zoe Kreye’s fabric installations and sculptural objects transform the Gallery into an immersive environment, inviting us to rest, feel, and connect with our bodies. Kreye’s translucent, layered fabric constructions share her embodied ritual studio practice of pouring, spreading, and dancing dyes across canvas. I know about lots of things I’ve never seen. And so do you. recognizes the instinctive knowledge that we each bring to the gallery and creates a space of reverence, offering the potential for transformative experiences that can be carried into daily life. 

This exhibition engages with visual arts curriculum. Below are a few connections we have identified. Your students will learn about embodied drawing practices and be introduced to the field of somatics. If you have specific outcomes in mind, please reach out to discuss how we can create something to suit.

Visual Arts
Create artistic works collaboratively and as an individual using ideas inspired by imagination, inquiry, experimentation, and purposeful play // explore elements, processes, materials, movements, technologies, tools, and techniques of the arts //  reflect on creative processes and make connections to other experiences // describe and respond to works of art and explore artists’ intent // explore how the mind and body work together when creating works of art // learn about how artist’s experiment in a variety of ways to discover new possibilities and perspectives. 

SOMATIC TAPESTRIES // SUITABLE FOR ALL GRADES
TEXTILES // PAINTING // MARK-MAKING

In the studio, students will work through a series of prompts to create marks, gestures, and layers using paint and water-soluble graphite on fabric. They will explore ideas from embodied drawing practices, embracing the physicality of drawing on a large scale - using their body, and the sensations within it, as the subject.

Our interactive tours are adapted for each group to allow for age-appropriate engagement with students of all grades.

In all cases, we employ a student-centered approach that encourages your students to find their voice and share with us what they see, feel, and wonder about the artwork on display.

Each tour is approximately 45 minutes in duration, depending on the engagement of the class, and includes in-gallery activities and discussion.

During their visit, students will learn about embodied drawing practices and be introduced to the field of somatics. They will experience an immersive world of layered, colourful fabric and be encouraged to move, collaborate with, and listen to their bodies.

School programs are available for this exhibition from January 24 - March 17, 2023.

Exhibition on view // Paul Walde: Glacial Resonance

Through immersive video and sound installations, Glacial Resonance shares Paul Walde’s concerns about the environmental crisis. With glaciers as the primary focus, Walde’s work explores how land use and human activity impact Earth’s ecosystems and what these effects mean for us all.

Our interactive tours are adapted for each group to allow for age-appropriate engagement with students of all grades. In all cases, we employ a student-centered approach that encourages your students to find their voice and share with us what they see, feel, and wonder about the artwork on display.

Each tour is approximately 45 minutes in duration, depending on the engagement of the class, and includes in-gallery drawing activities and discussion.

In order to allow time for deep and meaningful engagement, we select only a few individual artworks to discuss in each tour. Please let us know if you would prefer a full guided tour.

REFLECTIONS ON CLIMATE CHANGE // SUITABLE FOR All GRADES
Drawing // Audio Recording // Climate Conversations

Through a series of short prompts provided by the artist, students will be encouraged to reflect on climate change: How does it make them feel? What does it look like? Does it have a sound?

Reflecting on these prompts, students will create a drawing that illustrates climate change using graphite, coloured pencils, and markers.

Students will also be offered the opportunity to record their reflections in our “recording studio” to be shared with our community through the KAG website. This public sharing is voluntary.
