About the event
Join us on August 24 for the official opening of BurnerHerzog,  on display at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery until November.   World-renowned local artists Gary Blundell and Victoria Ward return to  Minden to exhibit new work, alongside logging artifacts from the  Museum’s permanent collection.
The Agnes Jamieson Gallery is pleased to welcome back artists Gary Blundell and Victoria Ward, with their exhibit Burner Herzog.
Near Gary and Victoria’s log home is an abandoned sawdust burner, the  last one believed to be still standing in Ontario. This abandoned  burner is a ‘vestigial’ implement that the logging industry used  regularly to incinerate the sawdust made from processing cut trees.  Gary and Victoria work towards illuminating the idea that industry and  landscape are intertwined. These type of abandoned structures have long  been a major subject matter of their artwork.
Gary has exhibited across Canada and in England. He was  artist-in-residence at the Art House in Yorkshire, England, the Straumur  Arts Commune in Iceland, the Norfolk Arts Centre Simcoe, Ontario and at  Pouch Cove in Newfoundland.
As someone who came from theatre and created dynamic stories, making  paintings based on the landscape was a very natural, artistic evolution  for Victoria. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and England,  and she has been the recipient of multiple awards. Victoria also writes  and contributes to catalogues, cultural journals and digital sites  across Canada.
Burner Herzog will be on display August 22 to November 23. The  opening reception with the artists takes place on August 24 from 1-3  pm. All are welcome.
