Scott Rogers

Thanks to @art.viewer for posting about the show between @lu_wrld and I @afternoonprojects in Vancouver. 🙏🏼 The exhibition is closed now, but very thankful to Benny and Lucia for this opportunity to work together and show some new and older sculptures. Thanks to everyone who went to visit during the run. I’ll post a few more install shots and details soon. 🖤🐧

Nightjars Mono WAV file, Genelec 8010a, monitor stand, MP3 player, cabling 18:00 (looping) 2025 My new single-channel sound work included in “Affinities” at @twoseventwo.gallery Composed with the inimitable @eist_sound “Scott Rogers’ most recent sound work Nightjars (2025) is composed from the calls of 64 of the world’s nocturnal nightjar species. This work connects to his larger series of soundworks which offer auditory portraits of birds that are typically unseen. In contrast to many daytime species, nightjars have rhythmic calls that are sometimes evocative of electronic music.”

Trying something new out—returning a body and a sky. From an ongoing suite of paintings that incorporate graphics of birds of prey from police, security, and surveillance advertising. Not sure if it’s done. No title for now Acrylic on linen 30” x 20” x 2” 2026

Today is the last day to visit Mutualism (Fixed Assets) @rmgoshawa . Hopefully some folks can make it by to visit and also catch an amazing show that just opened by my great friend @sukainakubba It does finally feel like spring (here’s hoping) and the feeders will go dormant now until their next iteration. The project has been a wonderful experience and I have huge gratitude to @lleeiillaat @hankeating2018 Blair Claxton, @coleswansonart @fynnlala for all the trust, support and exciting programming we were able to develop around this work. Also huge thanks to the whole RMG team for the great work they do. Me and the birds—and squirrels—all appreciate it greatly! 🐦 🐿️ 🥜

Scott Rogers: Mutualism (Fixed Assets) is closing soon. This ambitious installation, located in the backyard at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, builds on Scott Rogers’ interest in human-built infrastructures for the care and support of non-human beings. Taking the form of a site-responsive bird feeding station, the work is assembled from broken automobile parts scavenged from roads and highways. This reuse of discarded materials connects with the industrial history of Oshawa, while proposing possibilities of ecological renewal out of the wreckage. On view until April 12, 2026. Visit our backyard before it's gone! Plan your visit through the link in our bio. Images: Installation of Scott Rogers: Mutualism (Fixed Assets) at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, 2025.

The exhibition may be over, but the conversation continues! Earlier last month, we hosted "In Conversation: Cole Swanson & Scott Rogers," an artist-led discussion exploring the ideas, materials, and questions that connect each artist’s practice. You can now watch the full talk on our YouTube channel! Check out the link in our profile. #AGPtbo #ArtistTalk #InConversation

Last few weeks to visit my exhibition Mutualism (Fixed Assets) at @rmgoshawa The feeders will be out in the backyard until mid-April. The snow is gone, but the bird seed keeps coming!

Hungry campus birds attracted to the statues by surplus kernels _____________________________________________ “University Services” Photocopies, poem, bird seed distributed on public sculptures at York University Keele campus 2026-ongoing For the last few months I’ve been surreptitiously using the public sculptures at York as bird feeders. Whenever I’m at campus for work, classes, or teaching I take a little container of seed mix and sprinkle it on one of the sculptures. The seed containers are chewing gum packages—emptied through my regular gnawing during TAing, admin and coursework. Photos of bird seed on the Alexander Calder and Mark di Suvero.
