EMOTIONS
European Paintings from the Permanent Collection

Agnes Etherington Art Centre
28 August 2005 - 26 January 2007
The power of emotions has engaged artists through
time and across cultures. Emphasized by writers on
art from the classical period onwards, emotionalism
took on a special priority in the wake of the Reformation
in the Christian Church. Art could both render human
emotions, as well as elicit an emotional response
in the viewer, and many Renaissance and Baroque artists
took up one or both of these challenges. This exhibition
brings together a range of works from the permanent
collection in which emotions play a central role.
Masterpieces by Rembrandt, Jan Lievens, Dosso Dossi,
El Greco and Michiel Sweerts join works by artists
such as Ciro Ferri and Govert Flinck. These artistic
explorations of the human psyche reach across several
centuries to move, inspire and cause us to reflect
on our experiences of art and feeling.

NEUTRINOS THEY
ARE VERY SMALL
Curated by Corinna Ghaznavi
Contemporary Feature Gallery
8 July-10 December 2006
The artists in Neutrinos They Are Very Small -
Rebecca Diederichs, Gordon Hicks and Sally McKay -
respond to the underground laboratory of the Sudbury
Neutrino Observatory as a site of observation, experimentation,
and, above all, passionate curiosity about the inner
workings of the cosmos.
On Sunday 15 October, a lecture/performance
by Sally McKay, “The Trouble with Oscillation,”
will take place in the gallery at 1:30 pm, followed
by “Full on Gall,” a drop-in, participatory
workshop/lab on the fusion of advanced physics and
aesthetic production, hosted by all three artists
in the Art Centre Atrium, 2:30-5 pm.
