Join us in the AGGV’s Spencer Mansion foyer for A Spoon Full of Sugar, a free durational performance anticipated to span approximately 7 hours by queer, non-binary performance artist, Holly Timpener.
Entry to the Spencer Mansion is free!
Curated by Dr. Toby Lawrence, AGGV Curator of Contemporary Art, in collaboration with Camosun College Visual Arts Department, A Spoon Full of Sugar is a durational performance that resists normative spoon-fed ideas and perceptions of gender. In this work, artist Holly Timpener uses time to transform their desire to please others. This performance exhibits an intimate journey of internal transformation and personal discovery, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and offering hope to others on a similar journey.
*Due to the durational nature of this performance, visitors are welcome to enter and exit the Gallery throughout the day.
This performance will be preceded by an Artist Talk with Holly Timpener on Friday November 22 at Camosun College, Lansdowne Campus.
