In Keeping with Myself
Ottawa-based guest curator Darren Pottie answered the Portrait Gallery of Canada’s first national call to curators, impressing its program committee with his theme, his proposed artists and their alluring images. In Keeping with Myself is the result of his efforts. On view from August 19, 2021 to February 18, 2022, the exhibition features self-portraits created by 19 contemporary Indigenous and Canadian artists from across the country.

REMAINDER
SPAO is proud to present Rem/a/inder, an exhibition featuring the photo-based work of Jennifer Stewart and Hannah Evans. The exhibition explores the ephemera of lost relationships, the tactile reminders that bind us to emotions, and the remainders of memory. If leaving a relationship is akin to bleeding out or shedding a skin, Rem/a/inder will exhibit that blood and skin through photographs, objects, and sound. Curated in part with Darren Pottie
