Join Art History MA student Paige Suhl for a presentation of her research conducted during her winter 2025 Curatorial Internship at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery where she examined two lesser-known artworks by women artists in the Ellen’s permanent collection: Claire Hogenkamp’s sculpture I Smoke Them Because I Like Them (1965) and Judith Kelly’s print No, No…999 Times No! (1965). Considering the limited research material in the collection, Suhl will discuss the research methods she employed throughout her process of uncovering more information about these artists and analysing their work in relation to Quebec pop art.

The Gallery welcomed Paige Suhl for a curatorial internship during the Winter 2025 term.
Paige is a first-year master’s student in the Department of Art History at Concordia University. She holds a bachelor’s degree in art history and English literature from McGill University. Her research focuses on contemporary art, curatorial and museum practices, and public engagement with art. As part of her internship, she is studying the work of women artists associated with the Pop Art movement who are represented in the Gallery’s permanent collection. Her research aims to contextualize their work within the Quebec Pop Art movement of the 1960s and contribute to broader re-evaluations of women’s role in Pop Art.
