Oxygen Art Centre welcomes the public to attend two events at the close of Genevieve Robertson’s residency. Genevieve Robertson is artist-in-residence at Oxygen Art Centre from November 12, 2025, to December 20, 2025.
An artist talk will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 6:00pm. The Artist Talk will introduce Robertson’s artistic practice, as well as share process-based explorations from her residency.
An open studio event will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1:00pm-3:00pm. The Open Studio event provides an informal view for the public to engage with Robertson’s artistic practice and works-in-progress from within the artist’s working residency studio.
Both events will be held at Oxygen Art Centre’s downtown facility, located along the alleyway behind Baker Street at Stanley Avenue, Unit #3A-320 Vernon Street, Nelson, B.C. All events are free to attend.
Robertson works at the intersection of visual art and environmental studies. Her practice is grounded in drawing and painting, extending to video, installation, and various forms of collective work and collaboration. Through long-term place-based research projects, her work explores anthropogenic impacts on ecology and the climate, and the intelligence and interconnection of the life systems of which we are part.
During her residency the artist will offer an Artist Talk on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 5:00pm, and an Open Studio event on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the artist-run centre. Both events are free to attend. Everyone welcome.
The artist-run centre welcomes Robertson for this residency at an auspicious moment in her practice to provide space, time, and resources to focus on a body of work intended for exhibition at the Midlands Art Centre, UK, in Spring 2026, which will be shared with the community through open studio and artist talk events.
Robertson will be artist-in-residence at Oxygen Art Centre from November 12, 2025, to December 20, 2025. While in residence, the public are invited to attend an Artist Talk on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 5:00pm, and an Open Studio event on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. All events are free to attend. Everyone welcome.
