INGRAM GALLERY | July & August 2018
As we travel into summer, Ingram Gallery formally welcomes
Toni Hamel, an artist that continually offers fresh viewpoints on how we interact with the worlds around us. Human behaviour and cultural phenomena are placed under the microscope as our past, present, and futures are all examined. In her words, "Reality could indeed be different if we really wanted it to be."
The gallery is marking this new season with
Summer Series XI, which draws us into the fluid movement of nature, road trips and our shared existence. Please read on this news issue of
Ingram Art News for details on what is in store for your next visit.

Our addition of Steven Volpe has introduced astounding works to the walls at Ingram. The intimate environments he creates are mysterious yet somehow all too familiar.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY | AT INGRAM
TONI HAMEL
Toni Hamel is an Italian born artist that lives and works in Oshawa, a suburb of Toronto, Canada. The scholarly Hamel offers unflinching visions of how human behaviour intersects with our natural worlds.
An inter-disciplinary artist, she fuses form and content by moving between mediums while evoking human influence on our environments. Hamel not only highlights the iniquities that arise from human behaviour, she also offers insight into how we should improve.
Hamel is the recipient of numerous awards and three Ontario Arts Council grants. She has exhibited in public and commercial galleries nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in the permanent public collections of the Government of Ontario and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, as well as in private collections in Canada, the United States of America, and Europe. Hamel is repeatedly featured in Arts & Culture magazines in both print and online.
She has earned numerous academic achievements, including a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts of Lecce (Italy, 1983), a postgraduate Certificate in Computer Graphics from Sheridan College (Canada, 1991), the Golden Key National Honour Society Award from the University of Toronto (Specialist Programme in Psychology, 1997), and the Lubiam Prize (Milan, 1983).

BEYOND THE GALLERY WALLS
TRAVIS SHILLING | Public Gallery Exhibitions
On the heels of his momentous Unknown Legends exhibition, Travis Shilling's works are currently on view in his Spirit of the Times solo exhibition at the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation in M'Chigeeng, Ontario until September 21st. According to curator Anong Migwans Beam, "it is necessary to show the reality of the moment, the spirit of the times." The Government of Canada is also currently featuring Shilling's The Village Dream in Art in the Tunnels - a public exhibition in Ottawa, Ontario.
Later this year, Spirit of the Times will continue travelling to the Debajehmujig Mastin Gallery in Manitowaning, and Shilling's work is in the early stages of crossing the border to Vermont for his first solo exhibition in the USA during the fall of 2019. Please stay tuned for further information on this exciting time.
E. B. COX (1914-2003) | Garden of the Greek Gods
E.B. Cox's Garden of the Greek Gods continues to see advances in their future placement at the east end of the Rose Garden at Exhibition Place, just south of Bandshell Park. With a draft plan in motion, these twenty sculptures need to be excavated and moved to this enchanting new ground for all to enjoy, along with new bases, plaques, and lighting. An architectural consultant hired by Exhibition Place is preparing a report on the logistics of the move, for review by a Working Group in late July. The Gallery's Jeff Duns and the artist's daughter, Kathy Sutton, are members of this group. We greatly look forward to seeing the Garden of the Greek Gods eventually being returned to a public setting.
