2025 marks 50 Years of the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB), giving us a unique chance to examine the past, look towards the future and find our place in the present.
Exhibitions feature Canadian artists and curators, circulating stories of place and our relationship to time.
The AGB kicks off this golden anniversary with an opening reception for our winter exhibitions, Time Isn’t Real and Dry Thunder, on January 16, 2025 from 6:30–8:00 pm. RSVP for a free ticket at the link below.
This dynamic exhibition, curated by Suzanne Carte, explores the intersections of time, materiality, and imagination. Time Isn’t Real features works from the AGB’s unparalleled collection of over 4,000 contemporary Canadian ceramic pieces alongside bold new creations. These artists’ explorations span digital innovation, sustainable practices, and interdisciplinary approaches, creating a dialogue that transcends temporal and cultural boundaries.
Curated by Sarah Edo, the Perry Gallery features Dry Thunder. Misbah Ahmed’s first institutional solo exhibition, brings together ceramic sculptures and paintings to explore and meditate on regional folklore, eco-poetics, and urban and wildlife transformation. Similar to the atmospheric and metaphoric contradictions of dry thunder, Ahmed molds traditional vessel shapes into anamorphic forms, inscribing them with local (Sindhi-Punjabi-Hunza) folktales and mythologies.
