The AGNS keeps earning the love of Coast readers with thoughtful and provocative exhibitions, such as the current collection of work by Montreal-born, Nova Scotia-based abstract painter, Jacques Hurtubise, or the thematic media in the show Framed, which is a collection of never-before exhibited pieces from the gallery’s contemporary storehouse going back to 1972, all formally linked through the use of a window as a stage, site and subject. Both shows run until September 5.
