Chris Flanagan: Sympathetic Magic
March 17 - April 29, 2012
Curated by Crystal Mowry
Opening Reception: Sunday March 18 | 2 pm

Flanagan's installation practice combines meticulous object-making with video, sound, and interactivity. His reference points include political and pop culture, urban mythologies and an enormous vinyl record collection. Flanagan will create new multi-media work in response to the City of Kitchener - a way of rousing curiosity and welcoming mischief during the 2012 centenary. Visitors to the gallery will have a chance to meet Chris during his residency in the Eastman Gallery in March.

From There to Here
March 12 - August 19, 2012
Guest curated by Michael Goudreault

This exhibition is the fourth instalment in our Community Curator projects centered on the Permanent Collection. Michael Goudreault is an undergraduate student in the University of Waterloo's Knowledge Integration program. Of the direction of his project, Goudreault states: "I am really interested in the possibility of exploring, from the view of the outsider, an intimate quirky view of life in southwestern Ontario."
