(Now the next one isn’t in Hamilton but it is a Hamilton person so why not?)
The idea of Closure is that disparate things in the world can find unity within the energies of outside factors. Once this unity of disparate things is achieved, the integrated whole becomes a self-sufficient entity. Closure is a process that establishes the relationship of disparate things, which creates the possibility for new complex realities to emerge.

Ok so if your not going to art crawl or planning on being near peterborough check out this….. Hamilton’s Own Delio Delgado has a show there check out the details….
The Art Gallery of Peterborough celebrates 4 new exhibitions with a reception on Friday March 12, 2010 @ 7 pm.
Delio Delgado presents a new series of mixed media drawings created over found blueprints, which serve as a support for his narrative. The discarded blueprints bear the weight of their actual or potential consequences. In urban Ontario, newcomers already live over the lives of those who not so long ago displaced Aboriginal inhabitants. Yet the continuous imprint of their existence is stamped on the landscape, as illustrated in Delgado’s (himself an immigrant from the Dominican Republic) work.

This is the last of the series of State of the Art crawl events at the James North Art Crawl as we at studio aalona continue to work on renovations to our space upstairs. The past few months have been amazing, couldnt ask for a better way to meet our neighbours and spread the word to hamilton about our vision. We look forward to opening the doors to our studio when it is complete on art crawl nights again soon.
New this month we have paintings by the ultra talented Dominique Fung http://www.dominiquefung.com/
along with artists M.E. Walsh, Billy Pozeg and lowrider bike by studio aalona. http://www.studioaalona.com/
Teal Booth is a local Hamiltonian human with a passion for art. That is right, a passion. Passion is way fun. Her current works involve an exploration of the seductive specificity of dark ink on a blank page, with all the accompanying philosophical riddles. Come on out and delve into an artistic rendering of the complexity of the human brain! Without space there is no object. Without light there is no dark. Without you there is no awesomeness to this art show. Because you are pretty cool, whether you believe it or not. (Also local musicians will be playing)
Hamilton Artists Inc – Jude Norris – Mooswa, Muskwa, PuskwaMoostoos
Jude Norris is a (Metis) Plains Cree multi-media artist from Alberta, Canada, currently based in Toronto and NY. The layers of material and meaning in her work mirror the particular dichotomy of living as an Indigenous person in a contemporary colonial environment, but they are also universally accessible and relevant in both aesthetic and metaphor. She uses a variety of media in creating idiosyncratic juxtapositions of the traditional with the technical, the organic with the manufactured. At times, Norris combines objects that are symbolically, directly, and/or stereotypically connected with Native American culture with elements of Euro-centric creative practice. http://www.judenorris.com

This is a quick message to remind you about this Saturday’s second monthly By-Law Crawl event, starting at 1 PM in Gore Park, in front of the Royal Connaught. The crawl will end with an afterparty at This Ain’t Hollywood, at 345 James St. North, starting around 4 PM.
By-Law Crawl is an event designed to locate, identify and report properties which are in serious violation of the City of Hamilton’s Property Standards By-Law, in hopes of proactively preventing further decay and demolition of Hamilton’s building stock, and ensuring that buildings do not pose a danger to the public. I’ll be distributing copies of the By-Law, as well as offering some guidance to participants on what we’re looking for, and the proper way to go about spotting these infractions.
Effective By-Law enforcement is the only tool we have as citizens to ensure properties don’t fall into disrepair and require demolition, or that vacant/derelict properties don’t detract from the communities that surround them. This isn’t just an issue of heritage preservation and public safety, it’s also an issue of waste- 30% of our landfills are composed of building materials. Not every building can be saved- but if we proactively enforce certain standards, it’s far less likely that an absentee property owner can allow a building to decay to the point that demolition is the only option.
Our first By-Law Crawl event in February was a success- approximately 75 people braved cold temperatures, and as a result, complaints on 34 properties were forwarded to By-Law staff, and our organization is currently waiting for an update on this enforcement. I’ll be giving an update on this during Saturday’s Crawl. You can view an interactive google map of the properties we reported on here.
To be clear, this event is not designed to crack down unfairly on property owners who are doing their part- the focus of this event is on the worst offenders- properties with a legacy of not meeting minimal standards as prescribed by the Property Standards By-Law.
I invite you to participate this Saturday, and pass along this info to anyone else who may be interested in attending.
If you need any information on the crawl, please visit www.bylawcrawl.ca, or feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Just wanted to put it out in case you didn’t read it, this is a place I have been getting cheese from for a while and everyone is awesome, enjoy this Hamilton Success story
