Breaking Through Visual Noise
London Camera Club
Main Gallery South Section
June 9 - June 20, 2026
Opening reception Wednesday June 10, 6PM - 8PM
Exhibition Statement:
In an age of digital information overload, where attention is increasingly shaped by rapid scrolling and continuous visual stimulation, the London Camera Club presents a group photography exhibition that invites a slower engagement with images.
Photography, through its act of framing, both arrests and extends time—capturing fleeting moments while inviting sustained attention. Across changing landscapes and environments, repetition becomes cyclical rather than mechanical, opening space for difference within recurrence.
Featuring works by visual storytellers across Southern Ontario, the exhibition is organized into four thematic chapters: Monochrome Vision, Macro Detail, Seasonal Rhythms: Cycles of Change, and Clash: When Nature Meets Urban. Together, the exhibition creates an immersive space where viewers are invited to observe, reflect, and rediscover the possibilities of mindful seeing.
About the London Camera Club:
Founded in 1934, the club is more than 90 years young! We are proud to say that we are one of the largest camera clubs in Canada. We are an all-volunteer club, with a focus on serving London, Ontario, and the surrounding area. We have members at all skill levels, from Novice to Master. Our goal is to learn, to share, to make new friends, all while helping us grow into better photographers.

Polygraphia, A Language Passing
Xi Jin
Main Gallery North Section
June 9 - June 20, 2026
Opening reception Wednesday June 10, 6PM - 8PM
About the Exhibition:
Xi Jin’s practice investigates language as an operational system rather than a tool for communication. Through installations that combine objects, printed matter, and spatial structures, her work examines how meaning forms through arrangement, repetition, and encounter.
The idea of a lingua franca informs this approach. It describes a shared language that enables exchange across differences while also revealing the limits of communication itself. This shared ground is never fully stable. It depends on simplification, partial understanding, and ongoing negotiation. Meaning moves through processes of cultural translation, where it is continuously adjusted and reinterpreted. What appears coherent often remains provisional.
In Xi Jin’s recent work, language operates as both material and structure. Dictionary formats, classification systems, and bilingual fragments appear alongside found objects and spatial divisions. These elements suggest systems of organization, yet they never fully settle into fixed meaning. Definitions loosen as viewers move between objects, text, and space. Meaning shifts through repetition, distance, and encounter.
A Lexicon Not Yet Set develops this approach through a spatial installation composed of found objects, aluminum frames, vertical blinds, and dictionary-style entries. The work transforms the structure of a dictionary into a physical environment where objects and text correspond, but never fully align. Instead of producing clear definitions, the installation invites viewers to assemble temporary relations between fragments, classifications, and materials.
A second installation, Memes in the Lawn, extends these questions through movement and repetition. Artificial grass is activated by simple motorized systems programmed through Arduino. Timed movements repeat in overlapping intervals, producing patterns that gradually emerge through observation. The work reflects on how language circulates within social media and computational systems, where repetition and procedural operation often replace stable authorship or understanding.
This inquiry also connects to Xi Jin’s interest in AI language systems, which generate language through patterns and probability without comprehension. A similar condition appears throughout the exhibition, where language functions less as expression and more as an operational process unfolding across space and time. Spatial elements shape how viewers navigate the work. Spatial structures, printed matter, objects, and programmed movement guide the body step by step through fragmented encounters. Meaning emerges, circulates, and remains unresolved.
About the Artist:
Xi Jin was born in Beijing, China, and currently works and studies in London, Ontario, Canada. Working primarily through installation, printed matter, found objects, and programmed movement, her practice investigates language as a material and operational system that shapes perception, translation, and everyday experience. She received her MFA from the University of Alberta and is currently pursuing a PhD program in Visual Arts at Western University. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Canada, the United States, China, Mexico, Finland, and Poland, including exhibitions at Vancouver Centre for Contemporary Asian, Ming Contemporary Art Gallery, and CASA Art Centre, etc.. She has participated in artist-residency programs at Ratamo Printmaking and Photo Centre, Jyväskylä, Casa Lü CDMX, and Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity.

Dear Abel / Love Mike
Abel Gingerich & Mike Sloane
LAB 203
June 9 - July 4, 2026
Opening reception Saturday June 13, 2PM - 4PM
About the Exhibition:
Dear Abel / Love Mike puts on display the act of correspondence between artists in order to offer up insight into what happens in and through inspiration, admiration, and reflection. Through paintings, mixed media, and sculptures, Dear Abel / Love Mike seeks not only to invite community to bear witness to friendly dialogues in action through art, but also exhibit the inner workings of relationship building. Directly and indirectly through their work, Mike and Abel are eager to foreground how in and around art there is connection and community building as such. As people encounter others’ artworks, bonds form, ones that, in one way or another, open the door for kindred spirits with shared ideals, values, and aesthetics to come together.
About the Artists:
Abel Gingerich is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in London, Ontario. Abel's body of work consists largely of oil paintings inspired by scenes found in real life, such as garbage, local concert venues, and liminal spaces. Abel takes on themes of consumption, self-destruction, and third spaces in his paintings. Using a technique that involves thick, loose brush strokes, he highlights the physical body that both his work and subject matter possess.
Mike Sloane, or Mona (they/them) teaches at Fanshawe College in so-called London, Ontario. Since completing their PhD on American Modernist poetry and ecological objects at Western University, they have published scholarly articles and book chapters on topics ranging from trash to veganism. Mike has published creative work in the Goose and The Temz Review. More recently, they self-published a number of books—namely, New Radish, General Poetry, Banalities (Volume One), and Premium & Marcel’s Lost Poems. Also, Mike is involved with several musical projects, one of which is called Genius Genius. Since 2023, Genius Genius has released over 30 albums. Other musical projects include Mountain Gator, Robert, Catnip, Tarantula, Mona, Charlie Flowers, Sue Ellen Mischke, The Ggruff Patches, and Genius Genius & The Rough Patches. And they work within the visual arts, especially collage, too, and have had work exhibited and subsequently sold at Forest City Gallery. Mike also runs the Gears concert series at Squeaky Wheel Bike co-op, Inputs Listening Events at DoughEV, and Please Please Help, an anti-poverty project that has all proceeds going to the London Food Bank.
