Jimmy Limit: Recent Advancements, curated by Marcie Bronson, was recognized as Exhibition of the Year, Monographic. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Brock University’s Rodman Hall Art Centre<\/a> was recognized with two prestigious prizes this week at the 37th annual Ontario Association of Art Galleries<\/a> (OAAG) Awards, presented at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto Nov. 5.<\/p>\n

Twenty-eight public art galleries in 19 cities across Ontario were nominated for awards.<\/p>\n

Communities represented in the visual art nominations this year included Barrie, Cambridge, Chatham-Kent, Hamilton, Kingston, Kitchener, Kleinburg, London, Mississauga, Oakville, Oshawa, Ottawa, Owen Sound, St. Catharines, Sarnia, Toronto, Waterloo, Whitby, and Windsor.<\/p>\n

The OAAG Awards are annual, province-wide, juried art gallery awards of artistic merit and excellence.<\/p>\n

They recognize the new exhibitions, publications, programs and community partnerships that have been commissioned by and produced by Ontario’s public art galleries over the previous year.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Limit: Recent Advancements<\/em>, curated by Marcie Bronson, was recognized as Exhibition of the Year, Monographic.<\/p>\n

In her acceptance speech, Bronson noted that this exhibition was St. Catharines-based Limit’s first public art gallery showing.<\/p>\n

The award citation noted the curator and artist as well as the Rodman Hall installation team, including Danny Custodio, Matthew Tegel and Jesse Harris.<\/p>\n

Inspired by commercial photography practices and the design of industrial supply catalogues and weekly flyers, Jimmy Limit builds and photographs simple constructions of hardware store goods and fruits.<\/p>\n

Selecting his varied subjects for their aesthetic interest rather than function, he engages them from a strictly formal standpoint.<\/p>\n

Through photographs and installations, Limit engages layers of reflection on past and present photography traditions to explore the relationship between an object and its image in a consideration of how desire is created and sold.<\/p>\n

The exhibition catalogue Milutin Gubash – co-published by Rodman Hall Art Centre, Carleton University Art Gallery, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, Southern Alberta Art Gallery and Mus\u00e9e d’art de Joliette – received an Honourable Mention in the category of Art Publication of the Year.<\/p>\n

Serbian-born artist Milutin Gubash has developed a diverse practice focused on the investigation of his own personal, social and cultural identity.<\/p>\n

This first monograph examines the overlap of history, humour and authenticity found in his multifaceted practice.<\/p>\n

Often cast as the lead alongside his family and friends, Gubash employs narrative to blur the boundaries between real, lived lives and the people who we wish we were.<\/p>\n

Produced to accompany a multi-venue 10-year survey of Gubash’s work, the publication includes original essays and complete photographic documentation. Milutin Gubash lives and works in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Stuart Reid, director\/curator of Rodman Hall Art Centre, said the awards are important recognition from peers.<\/p>\n

“They mean a great deal to our institution,” he said. ” We are very proud of the excellent program of contemporary art exhibitions that Rodman Hall produces for the Brock community and the people of Niagara.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
