Beginning in October of 2019, the Akin Studio artist residency entered its second year of successfully hosting a number of artists working across a wide range of disciplines. Hit by the material realities of COVID 19 like all other art organizations and institutional facilities, AKIN and the artists who remained at 158 Sterling Rd. needed to take new measures to not only remain safe while working in the studios and forge forward with their creative practice, but also needed to devise different ways of measuring productivity and success while coexisting and working with others as exhibition opportunities, teaching engagements and curatorial projects were all placed on hold. As seen by the work, the ever shifting parameters of a global pandemic resulted in some artists turning inwards, others turning to the empty streets for inspiration and some just needing to find meaning in play. Whether surreal or abstract, figurative or architectural, each artist has either intentionally or subconsciously captured different aspects of what it means to live in a time where everything we once took for granted has drastically changed or been unmade due to the dangerous realities of the once unreal.

Jill Price, PhD, Department of Cultural Studies

Monday, March 16th @ 12:00 pm

Hyper-sensitive to her Canadian settler history, present and future in a culture that remains complicit in the ecological erasure of Indigenous persons and land at home and abroad, Price sees the "goods" of today as the trash of tomorrow and therefore physical and lively extensions of colonization. Presenting on artists, industrial leaders and eco-citizens who embrace undoing and unmaking as creative acts, come add to the discussion on what does it mean to undo, what needs unmaking and how we might collectively de-accelerate the pace at which we design, extract and make.

MARCH 10TH  - MARCH 28TH

RECEPTION: SATURDAY MARCH 14TH, 2 - 4 PM
ARTIST TALK: SUNDAY MARCH 15TH AT 11 AM

​

Bringing together the work of Sharon Barr, Maggee Day, Jill Price and Bryan Jesney, this exhibition examines different approaches to abstraction in painting and in three dimensions. Abstraction explores movement, perspective, ideas of perfection and challenges traditional techniques. An exhibit full of vibrant, saturated colour and curious details, Abstraction will draw you in and capture the imagination.

Chaired by Julian Jason Haladyn ( Canadian writer and independent curator)

Hilton Hotel, Quebec City

Friday, October 25, 9 am

​

As an iteration of my upcoming publication Undoing as Activism, this panel led presentation argues that by first unmaking that which already exists, one can slow the accelerated rate at which we think, grow, extract, produce, consume and dispose of goods. In addition to presenting personal art experimentations and reflections, the work of Peter von Tiesenhausen,Katie Patterson and Sharon Kallis will be brought forward to offer examples of art practices that resist acceleration both materially and aesthetically, demonstrating how many immaterial and material things become unmade when taking earth, the final audience and owner of all things, into account.

FREE EVENT

​

Currently pursuing a research-creation PhD in Cultural Studies and continuing to acknowledge my role as a maker, settler and consumer in the Anthropocene, "An Untwisting" is a follow-up performance to Undoing #1, a durational work where I unravelled a shrunk and damaged acrylic / wool poncho until it was beautiful piles of yarn.  These quiet gestures offer a way to explore how “unmaking” serves as a creative act and might reveal unknown potential hidden in our culture’s material excess so that we can begin to imagine design systems of production and exchange built on foundations of human care and environmental concern.

This more public sitting invites the viewer to be present so as to collaboratively discuss how undoing can become monumental  if we are to consider the value of human and non-human materials or view trash as an extension of our neo-colonial capitalist systems of global trade.

UNMADE is a curated exhibition of forty works from thirty-five artists that examines “unmaking as a creative act” for an exhibition @ Propeller Art Gallery.  As part of a self-reflexive journey that considers what it means to consume, make and curate in a moment of deep ecological crisis, I conceptualized UNMADE, an exhibition ‘hailing’[i] artists to move outside of colonial capitalist systems that encourage mass production and therefore the mass destruction of environments that sustain us.

Curator: Emily McKibbon
Reception: Thursday, December 5, 7 to 9 pm
Artist Talk by Jill Price: Friday, January 11, 12:15 to 1 pm

Two Legacies brings together recent works on paper by regional artists Tanya Cunnington and Jill Price. While their artworks differ in many fundamental ways, both are engaged in an exploration of what Emily Dickinson describes as the two legacies of love: the joy of attachment and the pain of separation.

​

Jill Price’s project, Lineage, is a material exploration of artifacts inherited by the artist from her grandmother. Using hand-knitted blankets as drawing devices, this Barrie artist methodically traces each stitch in a meditative process akin to the creation of the original covers. The works are abstract, fragile and reflective of the incomplete and ephemeral nature of memory itself. By contrast, Rama artist Tanya Cunnington’s series Cal.endar responds to her experience of becoming a mother and returning to the Orillia area. Working in her late father-in-law’s studio, the work reflects what we inherit, what we leave behind and how we create in the interstices between.

Jill Price would like to acknowledge the Ontario Arts Council for Exhibition Assistance funding.
