NEW WESTMINSTER MUSEUM
The Heat Is On: Keeping Warm Then, Keeping Cool Now
Opening Night: November 7, 2019!

“Keeping warm was something you worked at in the old days,” as local historian Evelyn Benson put it.
From chopping wood, avoiding the fleas in sawdust burners, and waiting for ice deliveries, to the new challenges climate change brings, New West’s history past and present spotlights forgotten everyday necessities.
See the exhibit page for more info.

I like physics, but I love cartoons
- Stephen Hawkins
New Media Gallery curates 4 exhibitions a year. Cartooney features eight artists who explore the consistent laws and systems of a cartoon world; laws that relate to, or supersede, the laws of our human world. The rules we find there are often based on how cartoon characters view their world, rather than how we think things should actually work. Each of the works in the exhibition ask us to consider such things as physical laws, systems of language and gesture, the physics of motion or rules governing systems of events. The apparent precariousness or paradox of these cartoon worlds often mirrors the instability of modern life. In all the works the meaning of things can be perceived as contrary to expectation; paradoxically the contrary nature of failed expectations often throws open the doors of perception.
October 18, 2019 - February 2, 2020 (closed December 8 - January 7)
