Happening this weekend! Join us at the AGP on Saturday, March 7 for an artist-led conversation with Cole Swanson and Scott Rogers. These artists will respond to Swanson’s solo exhibition Lithic Life (on view at the AGP until March 29, 2026).
Lithic Life is a mid-career survey of Swanson’s material and ecological investigations into geology, landscape, and pigment making. Drawing on the rich mineral diversity just north of Peterborough, the exhibition brings together panel paintings, mineral pigments made from materials gathered in the region, documentation of ephemeral rockface murals, and a site-specific natural-colour work created from the gallery’s own surroundings — work that reveals deep time and the material histories embedded in the land.
Rogers’ installation Mutualism (Fixed Assets), on view at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa until April 12, takes the form of a site-responsive bird feeding station assembled from foraged broken automobile parts. Rooted in his interest in human infrastructures that care for non-human life, the work gestures toward ecological renewal emerging from industrial leftovers.
Presented in partnership with The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Swanson and Rogers will explore the connections and questions raised by their practices in this rich interorganizational exchange.
Saturday, March 7, 2026 | 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Free + open to all.
We strive to be a scent-free facility, please help us keep the air we share fragrance-free.
