Anthony Cudahy: metronome yawned at the Esker Foundation

Hales is delighted to share that Anthony Cudahy: metronome yawned at Esker Foundation, Calgary, AB, Canada is now open through 26 April 2026.

 

metronome yawned brings together new and recent works that cumulatively meditate on the slipperiness of time—how it’s felt compared to how it’s ordered, how a life is measured relative to the milestones that are collectively yet spuriously held up as markers of progress, or how specific instances of mundanity can unexpectedly and irreversibly punctuate the cadence of a life.

 

Anthony Cudahy paints narratively elusive images of queer intimacy and tenderness within everyday life. His work interweaves myriad symbols and references ranging from queer archives, art history, mythology, print ephemera, even fragments from his own paintings. While these references coalesce with a logic personal and idiosyncratic to the artist, his open-ended narratives gesture to the gradual accumulation of meaning within the flotsam of our own lives.

 

On Saturday 24 January, 1 – 2.30pm at the Esker Foundation, artists Anthony Cudahy, Justin de Verteuil, Magalie Guérin, and Alexandre Pépin come together to discuss their processes, references, and influences in this panel discussion of painters talking about painting.  Registration required.
