Video: Michael Allgoewer’s Talk
Thank you to all who joined us on February 7, 2019 for Hamilton artist Michael Allgoewer’s talk. A full house! Michael spoke about the body of work he produced for his exhibition 1514 and the enigmatic Albrecht Dürer engraving, Melencolia I, that inspired it all. A lively Q&A followed his talk.
For those who missed it, or would like to review it, we recorded the formal portion of his presentation. Watch it now:
Michael Allgoewer’s exhibition 1514 includes nine recent sculptural and mixed media works. It is on view at the McMaster Museum of Art until March 16, 2019.

The McMaster Museum of Art has had the great fortune to be able to show different bodies of work by Astman in three separate exhibitions over the last year: 125 & 45: An interrogative Spirit which included her recent gifts to McMaster Scenes from a movie for one # 1 and #3; Dancing with Che: Enter Through the Gift Shop a fascinating and controversial installation/intervention now on view at Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto; and the McMaster Museum of Art’s current exhibition Flowers and Photography – a must-see exhibition of work by 6 Canadian women artists curated by Carla Garnet.
