Sky Mirage Installation and Performance

Access

About

Aaron Jones’ interactive art installation, Sky Mirage, features an airborne mirror, offering viewers a space in the sky (to see each other) — an ode to self-reflection and the sky’s endless possibilities. Participants engage in activities exploring aviation and inflation techniques.

Aaron Jones (he/him) (b.1993, Toronto) is a Canadian multidisciplinary artist, curator, and entrepreneur whose lens-based work draws from his personal experiences and familial roots and confronts the multifaceted nature of Black identity, nationality, culture, belonging, and personal modus operandi. Referring to himself as an image-builder, he weaves together diverse materials from books, magazines, newspapers, and personal photos to forge captivating characters and alternate realities. Jones graduated with a BA from OCADU in 2018 and is a founding member of the BAU Collective (Black Artists Union). His work has recently been included in Nuit Blanche and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Sky Mirage by Aaron Jones is commissioned as part of Ontario Culture Days' Creatives in Residence series and presented in partnership with Scugog Arts.

Organizer

Ontario Culture Days

The Ontario Culture Days Festival is an annual celebration of arts, culture and heritage taking place each fall across the province. Each year, we work with organizers of all disciplines to produce this province-wide festival. Organizers host programs throughout Ontario and invite the public to participate for free.

Ontario Culture Days lives at the local level. We support organizers from the smallest hamlets to the largest cities, while coordinating with other national and provincial Culture Days partners. We support the success of our sector colleagues through resources and network development, while highlighting the breadth and heterogeneity of Ontario’s arts and culture to the wider public.
