SUMMARY:Nocturne at AGNS!
DESCRIPTION:In The Courtyard – Pleasure Prospects by New Mineral Collective \n\n\n\nPleasure Prospects is a video that follows the artists Tanya Busse & Emilija Škarnulytė (New Mineral Collective) as they acquire prospector licenses\, with which they aim to perturb the values of the mining industry by holding fast their self-described position as “the least productive mining company in the world”.  \n\n\n\nNew Mineral Collective is the world’s largest and least productive mining company. They are an open-source entity\, working to infiltrate and subvert extractive industries with more reparative and imaginative futures exploring alternative forces such as desire\, body mining and acts of counter prospecting. In their video installation Pleasure Prospects\, New Mineral Collective follows the process of acquiring prospecting licences for alternative values and takes a critical look at what they call “perforated landscapes” – land altered by extractive industries.  \n\n\n\nFilmed at the World’s Prospectors Convention\, Ontario Place\, Pleasure Prospects sources research from Ontario topographical maps (from the Ministry of Energy\, Northern Development and Mines) and Google Earth. The film addresses ecological urgencies brought on by large-scale extractive practices\, connections between land and body\, and the environmental impacts of mining. The work encourages an understanding of large-scale global impact through bringing the conversation closer to the viewer\, drawing on connections between industry and therapy. New Mineral Collective prioritizes healing on many levels\, through creating an environment of pleasure\, renewal\, and revitalization\, something that is explored through their broader artistic practice.  \n\n\n\nIn The Studio – Print\, Glow\, Grow – Hands-On Artmaking \n\n\n\nJoin us for a vibrant night of creativity and connection through hands-on artmaking\, hosted in collaboration with the Youth Project. This creative space dives into mycology (the study of fungi) to celebrate transformation\, networks\, and thriving. Craft your own glowing print or contribute to a luminous mural that grows our sense of community. All welcome!  \n\n\n\n*Please note the AGNS gallery spaces will not be open to the public during Nocturne.  \n\n\n\nFeatured Image: Pleasure Prospects\, 2019 Single-channel 4k video\, New Mineral Collective (Tanya Busse & Emilija Škarnulytė).
