Ash Godley: Flâneur
May 30-June 28, 2024 Ash Godley (they/them) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Guelph, Ontario. They have recently graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Art, majoring in Studio Art and minoring in Art History. Godley is primarily an oil painter, using a unique command of light and shadow to depict the familiar from unfamiliar perspectives. With ten years of painting experience, they have developed a keen sense of colour that allows them to put to canvas the dramatic lighting and unique distortions captured by photography. Godley depicts residential and domestic scenes in their paintings. These quotidian landscapes are made uncanny by the dramatic contrast of flashlight beams, tv screens, and camera flashes, often seeking to cultivate the viewer’s anxiety in the dark, unknowable corners of the frame.

Feedback Loop
Beginning April 9th, Silence will be locked in a Feedback Loop, a two-month installation and soundscape created in partnership with the University of Guelph’s 2021-2022 Critical Studies In Improvisation class. Feedback Loop begins on Market Day, April 9 at Silence, 46 Essex Street. Doors open at 11:00. Artists from the Critical Studies in Improvisation program present a live collaborative performance at 12:00. We’re living in a circular apocalypse—locked down by the pandemic, let down by political systems and worn down by an army of influencers forecasting the latest end of the world as we know it. Feedback Loop is our take on a society that has changed beyond all recognition—and not in a nice way. Join us as we spin music and art in contemplation of lives lived in continual, universal frustration. We have 200 questions about the future. We don’t have the answers. This is no student revolution. We’re going to improvise. And we want you in the Loop.
