We are delighted that our Senior Curator, Ihor Holubizky, was invited to work with the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH) team on their current exhibition Beyond the Crease: Ken Danby.

Ken Danby (Canadian, 1940-2007) is an artist who has been celebrated and overlooked at different times in his career. This new exhibition explores his singular talent and the poignancy of the everyday moment captured in each work. See it at the AGH until January 15.

In addition to his work on the exhibition, Ihor Holubizky also contributed an essay to the exhibition publication and is presenting a public talk “Danby’s Abstract Realism”, at the AGH on Thursday November 24 at 7 pm. We look forward to this discussion of the exhibition and the repositioning of realism in Canadian art. Tickets are available via the AGH website: http://www.artgalleryofhamilton.com.

More collaborative projects between MMA and our friends at the AGH coming soon!
