This week Struts Gallery is embarking on a three-day art fiesta involving 14 different artists presenting work in various disciplines, all touching on the idea of time. No Ceiling: It\u2019s About Time<\/a> kicks off this Thursday with a workshop from Struts\u2019 latest artist-in-residence, Jordan Hill.<\/p>\n

Program director Simone Schmidt dropped by CHMA to talk about No Ceiling: It\u2019s About Time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to do a program that imparts skills and gets dialogue started,\u201d says Schmidt. \u201cA lot of the time, artists can be kind of sequestered, showing their work in isolation\u2026 not even be able to interact with the public at all. So we wanted to really get people talking and together again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the theme of time\u2026 the thing is time just grips us all. So it\u2019s quite relatable, and it\u2019s quite inescapable,\u201d says Schmidt.<\/p>\n

No Ceiling: It\u2019s About Time is offering four workshops, which Schmidt says are free, designed for beginners, and open to all. Jordan Hill is teaching about projection mapping (projecting images onto 3D shapes), Lee Jones and Great Grip are hosting an introduction to e-textiles where participants can create their own \u2018light up\u2019 bookmark; Janet Hammock is leading a sound walk to teach about the practice of \u2018deep listening\u2019; and artist Nadia Moss hosts a queer life drawing workshop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of our workshops is to demystify a lot of practices,\u201d says Schmidt. \u201cSo it\u2019s introductory, you don\u2019t have to have any experience. If you are just a regular person who has a computer, you can do projection mapping. You can download some free software, and Jordan Hill will teach you how to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of workshops, No Ceiling features a series of exhibitions, talks, performances and screenings, including local artist Dave Dyment\u2019s film, Timeline, which is showing on a loop in the Ralph Pickard Bell Library theatre for much of Saturday, October 28. There\u2019s also a solo trumpet w\/electronics performance by Nicole Rampersaud at the Sackville United Church on Saturday night, and public performances involving a stepladder, heavy chair, and helium balloons happening throughout town on Saturday, by artist Maryse Arseneault. One of the highlights for Schmidt is a talk by artist Sarindar Dhaliwal at the Sackville Legion on Thursday, October 26.<\/p>\n

Dhaliwal currently has an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, which Schmidt saw recently. \u201cIt\u2019s really imaginative, beautiful work,\u201d says Schmidt. Dhaliwal was born in Punjab and emigrated to the UK and then Canada in her teens. One of her pieces imagines the perspective of a British cartographer responsible for drawing the line to partition India in 1947, without having set foot in the territory. On Thursday evening, Dhaliwal will, \u201ctalk about her work as it relates to time to history,\u201d says Schmidt.<\/p>\n

Schmidt stresses that the program is truly designed for everyone, even those without experience or education in art. \u201cI\u2019m an artist who never went to art school,\u201d says Schmidt. \u201cI find the arts to be a place where people can either obfuscate, to try to hide what they\u2019re saying, or they can reveal more. And I really look towards work that tries to reach out from different angles to express.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program has a lot of people who are articulating in really interesting ways, their own experiences of time,\u201d says Schmidt. \u201cI really encourage people to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
