w w w .in s id e h a lto n .c o m | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, S e p te m b e r 2 8 , 2 0 1 7 | 3 8 S p e c u la t iv e h is to r ie s , s p e c tr a l fig u r e s a t O a k v ille G a lle r ie s th is fa ll Oakville Beaver Staff Oakville Galleries is now presenting two new fall exhibitions, one by Canadian artist Tamara Henderson and a new sitespecific project by Canadian artist collective FASTWURMS. Tamara Henderson presents Seasons End: Out of Body until Dec. 30 at Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square. In her writing, 16m m film, sculpture, painting and instal lation, Henderson is concerned with altering everyday ob jects in fantastical and intuitive ways, often in reference to dreams, fairy tales, the spiritual realm and the natural world. Developed on a residency in Scotland in 2 0 1 5 , Seasons End: Out of Body is a travelling installation that has taken place at Glasgow International, REDCAT in Los Angeles and most recently in London, England as a choreographed performance in the Serpentine Galleries' 2 0 1 7 architectural pavilion. On its final stop in Oakville, Seasons End Out of Body will expand on these previous presentations, bringing together an assortment of objects and materials collected by the art ist on her recent travels. It is produced by REDCAT and Glasgow International with support from Oakville Galleries, Serpentine Galleries and Rodeo. The Canada Council for the Arts exhibition supports the exhibition. #Q33R_WTCH_P155 also underway FASTWURMS presents #Q33R_W TCH_P155 until Dec. 3 0 at Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens. Melding conceptual art with performance, mysticism and an eclectic DIY sensibility, FASTWURMS (Kim Kozzi and Dai Skuse) have developed an influential multi-disciplinary art practice over the past four decades. Their new site-specifi c exhibition reimagines and trans forms the former estate home of Gairloch Gardens, suggest ing an alternate history for the site as Warlok Gardens. In this narrative, W arlok Gardens functioned from 1 9 4 3 1944 as the cover location and code name for an ultra-secret allied military intelligence unit, UR BZRK Warlok. Its mem bers worked closely with agents at Bletchley Park -- a cen tral site for British code breakers during the Second World W ar -- to unlock the Nazi enigma machine and win the war. After the Second World War, the UR BZRK Warlok unit continued to develop new codes and tools to tackle war and hate, and move towards a future where "love is the law," ulti mately pursuing a polycultural utopia. Refecting on the past, present and future, this exhibition stages an environment that is at once fictional, historical and speculative. Free exhibition tours for Seasons End: Out of Body will be held on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. and for #Q33R_W TCH_ P155 on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 3 p.m. This is the exhibition view at the gallery REDCAT, Los Angeles, by Tamara Henderson, entitled Seasons End: Panting Healer, 2016. | Brica Wilcox photo Culture Days returns to Oakville this weekend Oakville's Culture Days celebration returns for its eighth year with free music, dance, theatre and art activities offered throughout town from Friday, Sept. 29 to Sunday, Oct. 1.
