Oakville Galleries presents Tania Kitchell: White Out from December 9 to January 28 at Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square. Tania Kitchell is one artist who has an anti-freeze solution to frigid w inter weather. She has created playful, amusing, and altogether absurd garments to rebuff the icy chill. For example, her colourful cozy head gear prevents those "ice-cream headaches," while cuffs, coils and collars seal out snow, wind and drafts. Fuzzy, felt snowsuits are designed to hug the body for dexterity and warmth. For comfort and coping, she has crafted "mitts with splits" and multi-coloured protection for the single pinkie and index fingers. This artist leaves no body part neglected. Kitchell su bve rts w in te r c h ill- w h a t m any th in k o f as unpleasant-and gives it a defiant twist providing humourous "toasters" and "defrosters." The exhibition also includes a number of photographs that have a performative aspect-the artist frolicking in the snow, and hugging a huge snowball while scantily dressed. In them she exhibits no sign o f discomfort, as play and animation dispel the sobriety of reality. We see her exhibiting bodily pleasure in snow as well as searching for a way to defend herself against its pain. Kitchell articulates ideas and then sets them in motion creating a space o f slipped categories and subverted meanings, which potentially lead us to question our own awareness of climate. Join Tania Kitchell for an artist talk on Tuesday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m. W hy not take tim e out from Christmas shopping to participate in a workshop on Saturday, December 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.?

On view concurrently at Oakville Galleries in Gairioch Gardens is Christian Marclay: Cinema.
