Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980... more
Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980. Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, Hart House; University of Toronto Art Centre, University College; Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto Mississauga; and Doris McCarthy Gallery, University of Toronto Scarborough. Curated by Grant Arnold, Catherine Crowston, Barbara Fischer, Michèle Thériault with Vincent Bonin, and Jayne Wark.
Traffic is the first major account of the development of Conceptual Art in Canada from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. By far one of the most important and long-lasting art movements of the 20th century, Conceptual Art originated within the social and political turmoil of the 1960s – from feminism and gay liberation to anti-racism and anti-war movements – and presented a profound challenge to the institution of art. This exhibition focuses on specific manifestations of Conceptual Art practices in urban centres across Canada, with particular attention to the inter-regional and international traffic that facilitated fertile cross-pollinations and exchanges amongst artists in this country.

House Beautiful. This exhibition examines new aestheticism in contemporary practice through the work of Canadian artists Mary Anne Barkhouse, Drew Simpson, and Cole Swanson, among others. As an exploration of contemporary society and its decadences, the exhibition engages the visual, emotional, and kinaesthetic experience of art through sculpture, installation, and painting. Inspired by Oscar Wilde's concept of “the house beautiful,” this exhibition brings together works by artists who support and subvert visual decadence through the representation of domestic interiors and the furniture that occupies those spaces. Curated by Dawn Owen.

Farhad Nargol-O'Neill: Animas Res – Soul Objects – solo exhibition. Curator: Anneliese Neumann. This exhibition is comprised of works of sculpture, sculptural works in bas-relief, and examples of automatic writing. All works function as individual repositories of the soul of the creator – more than mnemonic devices, they exist corporeally and in multiple realms at once. They assert belief and the truth behind experience. They are objects which take into account the places the artist has been, experienced, the ideas and faith notions that have determined his art and the nature of his investigations. The nature of a work of art as a transubstantiated soul-object, the relationship between the artist and viewer and the the art object – these are all represented in both process and result.

FASTWÜRMS – Unicorn Tip. To Jan 2011 in Niche Project Space. To Apr 1, 2011 in Rodman Hall's garden. In 1979 Kim Kozzi and Dai Skuse created FASTWÜRMS, a union of two Ontario-based multidisciplinary artists who question nature, the environment and issues of power. Known for melding high and popular cultures, bent identity politics and social exchange, FASTWÜRMS transforms the grounds of Rodman Hall and the Niche Project Space into realms of commonplace magick that draw attention to the everyday fantastic. FASTWÜRMS has exhibited and created public commissions and installations, performance, video and film projects across Canada, in the United States, Europe, Korea and Japan.

Duncan MacDonald –Little Revolutions. Working in video, sculpture, performance and installation, St. Catharines-based artist Duncan MacDonald creates work that is fundamentally about sound. Combining new and obsolete technologies, MacDonald investigates the relationship of the visual to the aural, overturning the classical hierarchy of the senses and challenging conventions of perception. Through labour-intensive processes at once poetic and absurd, MacDonald draws on his experience as artist, professor, and father to explore the sonic stuff of everyday life, engaging in revolutions both formal and conceptual, in an attempt to gently tweak the world around him.

BGL – SOLOS. Known for creating self-referential in situ installations that take over architecture and encompass a gallery's context, the artist collective BGL (Jasmin Bilodeau, Sébastien Giguère and Nicolas Laverdière) will participate in a residency (Sep 13-29) and exhibition (Oct 1-Nov 20) project at Rodman Hall Art Centre. Living and working in and out of the gallery and the City of St. Catharines for a three-week period, BGL will engage with the physical space and grounds of Rodman Hall. BGL's work speaks directly to contemporary culture and the nostalgia of memory. Their work is social process, not solely presentation, and the result is a public-spirited art built through experience in which a network of social relations results. By inserting themselves in the space, the public becomes part of their process. To a great extent the contemporary stage they work on includes mass media and their language of signs and symbols penetrates to include the stage of the public mind. Their thinking refers to what extends beyond them and includes participation from the environment in which they work. They raise issues about the role artists play in our culture. These roles are neither exclusively aesthetic nor political in practice, but rather seemingly opposite poles encompassed by a working relationship that is social in nature. BGL will not only work from location but also form the nature of their engagement with the congested, cacophonous intersections of personal interests, collective values, social issues, political events and cultural patterns that mark out civic life. Theirs is a process in which research, dialogue and experimentation take part and the final result is situated between reality and fiction.

Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965-1980. Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, Hart House; University of Toronto Art Centre, University College; Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto Mississauga; and Doris McCarthy Gallery, University of Toronto Scarborough. Curated by Grant Arnold, Catherine Crowston, Barbara Fischer, Michèle Thériault with Vincent Bonin, and Jayne Wark.
Traffic is the first major account of the development of Conceptual Art in Canada from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. By far one of the most important and long-lasting art movements of the 20th century, Conceptual Art originated within the social and political turmoil of the 1960s – from feminism and gay liberation to anti-racism and anti-war movements – and presented a profound challenge to the institution of art. This exhibition focuses on specific manifestations of Conceptual Art practices in urban centres across Canada, with particular attention to the inter-regional and international traffic that facilitated fertile cross-pollinations and exchanges amongst artists in this country.
