#AGAlive | Online Screening and talk with Anna Hawkins and Lindsey Sharman
Don’t miss a special one-week-only screening of Anna Hawkins: Blue Light Blue. At the end of the week, we’re wrapping it up with a virtual talk with the artist and curator Lindsey Sharman on Apr 15! Watch now and register here.
In this AGAlive virtual event, artist Anna Hawkins will share her latest video work Blue Light Blue. After screening the 15-minute film, Anna and curator Lindsey Sharman will discuss the omnipresence of digital screens, the blue light they emit and Hawkins’ use of horror tropes in her work. Blue Light Blue will also be available on the Art Gallery of Alberta YouTube channel the week leading up to the event.

Anna Hawkins: Blue Light Blue is organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta, and curated by Lindsey Sharman. The RBC New Works Gallery features new artworks by Alberta artists and continues the Art Gallery of Alberta’s tradition of supporting and promoting Alberta artists.
