SUMMARY:Memory Cycle: Re-Sonified Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:Memory Cycle: Re-Sonified Artifacts is a collaboration between Guelph Civic Museum and musician Gordon Monahan. This exhibition is a foray into the parlour rooms of Victorian Guelph and an experiment with Victorian-era piano recordings. \nWorking with the museum\, Monahan selected 19th-century artifacts from the permanent collection. Using furniture\, farm equipment\, and keyboard instruments\, Monahan experiments with period sound by transmitting vibrations through the artifacts. \nVisitors to the exhibition hear sounds once emitted by the instruments on display. In a process called sonification (and re-sonification)\, Monahan works with the principle that vibration is perceived by the human ear as sound. The artifacts become sounding objects — transmitters of recorded sound — as well as sound sculptures. \nThe sound installation in the midst of a Victorian-era parlour room offers a ghostly rendition of music that once vibrated through the displayed artifacts. Like memory\, the circulation (and re-circulation) of sound calls forth the music and history of times past. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Installation View\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Sound Transducer on Victorian Crib\n				\n		\n\n \nHear a conversation about Memory Cycle with Guelph Museums’ Curator Dawn Owen\, Jesse Stewart\, and artist Gordon Monahan: \n\nMemory Cycle was researched\, developed and presented by Gordon Monahan with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic is a major moment in history. On March 11\, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. On March 17\, Ontario declared a state of emergency\, prompting citywide closures and social distancing protocols. In April 2020\, the Museum\, while closed to visitors\, launched a call to community for contemporary objects and personal expressions reflecting our individual and collective experiences. \nOn May 25\, 2020\, the death of George Floyd in the US spurred the Black Lives Matter movement to international urgency. Locally\, the Guelph Black Heritage Society organized a peaceful protest and march through downtown Guelph. On June 6\, 2020\, over 5\,000 people gathered to raise awareness of lives lost in violence. \nGuelph Museums and the Guelph Black Heritage Society partnered in the commitment to preserve the stories and experiences of Guelph individuals\, families\, and communities as we face these crises together. \nThis exhibition shares some of the hundreds of images\, creative expressions\, and physical objects that have been collected at Guelph Museums since April 2020 to document the local story of this historic time\, as we live it. \n\n\nThis artwork by Emily Vander Vlugt depicts a crowd of protestors led by Kween\, Executive Director of the Guelph Black Heritage Society. Kween made this audio recording in response to Emily’s artwork.\nThe art work and audio\, jointly titled No Justice\, No Peace\, are featured in the exhibition Rapid Response: Collecting Experiences as they are Lived at Guelph Museums\, from July 27\, 2021 to February 27\, 2022.\n\nHear a conversation with donors to the exhibition: \n\nPresented in partnership with:

SUMMARY:Where The Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Where The Rivers Meet is a display within the City Gallery that centers the Original Peoples who have been on this land since time immemorial. It includes information about migration\, land relationship\, treaties\, impacts of colonization\, and past and present-day perspectives. The display also considers the founding story of Guelph within the context of a longer history lens. \nThis display is a living exhibition that reflects the truth as we understand it today.

SUMMARY:Between the Crosses\, Row on Row: 100 Years of the Remembrance Poppy
DESCRIPTION:During the First World War\, the horrors of trench warfare\, poison gas and tanks wrought carnage never before seen. About 9 million military personnel and 20 million civilians lost their lives in The Great War. \nThe devastation of war created fertile ground for the Papaver rhoeas to take seed and grow. Poppy seeds can remain dormant in the soil for as long as 100 years. Trench digging\, bombs\, and mass cemeteries caused millions of poppies to bloom in the disrupted soil across Europe. The common poppy would become the symbol of wartime sacrifice and remembrance. \nBeginning with Guelph-born Lt. Col. John McCrae’s 1915 poem “In Flanders Fields”\, this exhibition tells the story of the poppy as it evolved to be an enduring symbol of remembrance in Canada and around the world. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				The Poppy\, Decoration Day 1921\, Canadian War Museum 19720228-001\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Cover of Guelph Horticultural Society Annual\, Flowering Shrub\, Hedge and Vine Issue\, 1972\nGuelph Museums 1987.44.14\n				\n		\n\nBanner Image: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/the-poppies-of-flanders/\n

SUMMARY:Scottish Diaspora Tapestry: Canadian Content
DESCRIPTION:For a limited time only\, 38 Canadian panels from the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry will be on display at the Civic Museum. The installation includes panels dedicated to the City of Guelph and to Lt. Col.

SUMMARY:Military Lecture: The War Diaries of General David Watson
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Geoff Jackson will discuss the diaries of General David Watson. The presentation will focuses on the evolution of military leadership and associated challenges that Watson (and his peers) faced during the Great War.

The divisional commanders played a central role in the Corps’ transformation into a first-rate professional army\, a transformation that coincided with Watson’s tenure at the 4th Division. \n\nAbout Dr. Geoff Jackson:\n\n\nGEOF JACKSON earned his PhD from the University of Calgary in 2013. He teaches at Mount Royal University in the Humanities department. He has published numerous articles and books in the field of Strategic Studies.
