Downtown Kitchener Art Walk

Sarah Kernohan, Dissipate 41 installed as a billboard as part of the DTK BIA Art Walk (2022 - 2024) in Halls Lane in Kitchener,r Ontario.

I am pleased to share that I am part of this year's DTK (Downtown Kitchener) Art Walk, co-presented by the Downtown Kitchener BIA and the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery. The walk includes permanent public artworks, murals and billboards throughout the downtown core.

My piece is on Hall's Lane (between King and Charles Streets, at the back of the Rich Uncle Tavern), nearby wonderful neighbours, including Jessi McConnell, Melissa Doherty, Chris Austin, Logan MacDonald, Brubey Hu, Tee Kundu, and others. The project will be up until the spring of 2024.

You can find the piece at this location (map). Visit this link to get a map and copy of the digital publication, which includes information about all of the work in the Art Walk.

Special thanks to Shirley Madill, Darryn Doull, and Steve Lavigne at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery for including my work in this project, Stefanie Golling at the DTK Bia for their project management, and Westmount Signs for doing such a fantastic job with print production and project installation.

Please send me a photo if you visit the piece in person!

Niloufar Salimi. Treed. Ink and graphite on Mulberry paper. 30 x 22. inches, 2021.

2gallery has invited nine 2gallery artists whose work they would choose to hang beside their own.

I reached out to Niloufar Salimi to collaborate. I am grateful that she generously agreed to participate and for the opportunity to exhibit alongside her.

We met and studied at OCAD, memorably, in an advanced drawing class with Ed Pien in 2007. We reconnected again after completing our graduate work. We each value gentle perception and delicate rendering as we build our work. While drawing, we are working sensitively, letting our materials and our subject matter guide the way we work. This exhibition was an opportunity for us to build work alongside one another again in another context.

The exhibition also features work by:

Edd Baptista & Andrew F. Ross

Hugo Cantin & Sebastien Cliche

Lindsay Chambers & Huy Lam

Beth James & Samuel Choisy

Erik Mohr & Jürgen Mohr

Moira Ness & Kale Vandenbroek

Paul Roorda & Melissa Doherty

Kate Taylor & Claire Desjardins

A false awakening is a vivid dream in which the dreamers think they have awakened from sleep even though they continue to dream. Elements of the dream may seem normal at first, but gradually become more surreal. In this exhibition, we will use the concept of false awakenings to showcase works that play with the viewer’s sense of reality. The works will explore the tension between the familiar and the unexpected. Both abstract and representational works will be included, addressing the theme from a variety of approaches, including form and texture, landscape and portraiture. The works may draw on dreams or dream-like experiences of the artists, depicting eerie or bizarre renditions of the ordinary.

This exhibition is being held in conjunction with Ron Shuebrook: Selected Works

Ron Shuebrook is one of my teachers and a dear friend who has taught me much through our conversations that began as I studied with him as part of the OCAD Florence Off-Campus Studies Program (2007-08), continuing to this day. I am humbled to exhibit in the parallel exhibition that he has curated alongside his own along with Amanda Clyne, Peter Johnston, Micah Lexier, Rachel MacFarlane, and David Urban.
