Open Studio

RSVP

Open Studio is a monthly program for young visitors and families inspired by contemporary art practices and CAG’s current exhibitions. In November, we invite you to join us for an art-making workshop led by artist Sidney Gordon.

Inspired by CAG’s current exhibition Lotus L. Kang: In Cascades, participants will learn how to make lumen prints through a cameraless process with photo-sensitive materials. Throughout the course of the session, participants will use their body, shadows and light in and around the gallery to capture passages of time and place.

RSVP

Registration for this event is free, but limited. A number of spots are reserved for families. RSVP to secure your place here.

The main focus of their film work is creating experiential embodiment, often portraying and deriving from personal subconscious experiences, while their cameraless photographic practice focuses on questioning authorship through ecological co-creation.
