Hamilton Now: Subject / Object Melissa Bennett

Hamilton Now - Subject / Object is the stunning exhibition accompanying a two-part exhibition at the Art Gallery of Hamilton in 2018 / 2019 edited by AGH curator Melissa Bennett. Hamilton Now comments on the exploding art scene in this burgeoning Ontario city through stunning images from 17 of the city's contemporary artists. The work of artists in this two part-exhibition explores current cultural issues such as identity and materiality. Race issues, queer identity, family history, virtual reality, digital interventions, and philosophical meanderings are all part of this visually stunning collection of works by mostly under known emerging and established artists.
