Dorothy Knowles: Land Marks. Organized by Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery. Retrospective exhibition offers an informed overview of the landscape artist's exemplary body of work. At first glance, the artist's humble and natural subject matter can be underestimated or overlooked. However, Knowles radically chose to document her own backyard during a time when abstract art was rapidly gaining ground. This exhibition celebrates Knowles' favourite subjects: the lush river valleys and prairie landscapes that characterized her rural childhood.

Traditional Stories: Unikkaaqtuat / Modern Stories: Unikkaat. This exhibition explores storytelling as an essential element of Inuit oral cultural traditions as well as playing a significant role as a source for their visual imagery. Traditional stories, or unikkaaqtuat, which are retold from generation to generation may vary in the retelling but they provide narratives that address aspects of Inuit history, the spiritual nature of the people, and other beliefs. The modern stories, or unikkaat, are more recent. These stories may address an individual's experience or provide a commentary on changes within contemporary Inuit experience. Both of these narrative forms express the ethics, attitudes, and ideals of the culture.

ArtChat. Cost – General public: included with admission. McMichael members: free. Please register at admissions desk. Jun 27: " Dorothy Knowles: The Land Before Us". This ArtChat highlights the exhibition, Dorothy Knowles: Land Marks, a retrospective of the artist's personal approach to her surrounding environment. Her depiction of the landscape has a timeless quality that evokes a time and place both specific and ephemeral. By using distinctive horizon lines, the picture plane addresses compositional questions that add to the expansive nature of Knowles' view, and this at a time when abstraction was the "hip" way to go. Jul 25: "The Art of Travelling: Our Landscape as Muse". How often in your travels have you stopped in front of a magnificent vista and thought, "I wish I could capture this moment"? Our new website, Footprints: Legacy of the Group of Seven ( www.groupofseven.ca) and exhibition, Following in the Footsteps of the Group of Seven, trace the travels of Jim and Sue Waddington as they passionately quested to find the exact locations where Group of Seven members felt compelled to stop and paint. Aug 29: "The Painter's Palette". Can you characterize an artist by their colour palette? Join our docent leading you through the process of formal analysis of some of the best-loved Group of Seven paintings. This time the emphasis will be on the colour and its contribution to the final painting's design. Learn about different ways of using but also seeing a colour. Sep 26: "Contemplating Women". The lower level of the gallery has a fresh, new look! You will see works that haven't been on our walls for a while, as well as some artists that may not be familiar. One theme being explored is that of the female figure. The Group of Seven, known for their paintings of the landscape, also examined the figure as a means of expression. Come and discuss some interesting ideas.

Art at Work: Corporate Collecting Practices Today, Part II. Curated by Geraldine Davis ... more
Art at Work: Corporate Collecting Practices Today, Part II. Curated by Geraldine Davis. A two-part summer exhibition (Jun 24-Aug 1 and Aug 5-Sep 12). Peeking inside some of Canada's major corporations, Art at Work explores the shifting dynamics in the marriage of art and business. Does art still possess the ability to transform its audience even in its reluctant function as "office décor"? Is art's critical value diminished by its role as a tool to convey wealth and status? Or, conversely, is corporate art collecting really just astute investing disguised as self-reflection or critical thought? Corporate art collections once represented the majority of transactions in our art market; has this reduced art to mere dollar figures? Can art in corporate collections provide social critique? In its short "collected" life at McMillan LLP, a Toronto law firm, Greg Staats' memorable 1994 silver print, Wesley Rheaume offers a different view, as a First Nations' youth looks defiantly back at the viewer. This haunting portrait of society's least privileged, now-marginalized outsider, whose people were once the only insiders, is ironically now welcomed within. Art in corporate collections also highlights the human factor. The famously unpeopled wilderness landscape that once symbolized Canadian ideas of visual beauty is still powerfully present in Alex Cameron's Georgian Bay Aurora, 1998, from Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP's collection. But the current trend in corporate art collecting features a prevalence of human subjects and photographic media. Along with photographic images by Rebecca Belmore, David Buchan, Angela Grauerholz, Mitch Robertson and others in various corporate collections, the Royal Bank of Canada's recent acquisition of Geoffrey Farmer's figurative installation for its new building demonstrates the strong corporate appetite for images of people. Catch Art at Work at the Art Gallery of Mississauga to see artwork not usually available for public viewing. See for yourself. How can art work when it's "at work"? Artists in Part II – David Askevold, John Boyle, Roland Brener, Alex Cameron, Michael Earle, Gathie Falk, General Idea, Angela Grauerholz, Spring Hurlbut, Wanda Koop, Arnaud Maggs, John Massey, Amanda Reeves, Francine Savard, Otis Tamasauskas.

Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada c. 1965-1980 ... more
Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada c. 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. Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta, Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto) and the Vancouver Art Gallery, in partnership with the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery (Concordia University), and Halifax INK. Financially supported by the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage, and the Canada Council for the Arts.

This diverse group uses a variety of photographic techniques and interpretive devices to craft a compelling statement on the complex nature of human relationships.

Biodiversity – New Work by Tania Love. In this exciting exhibition Tania Love presents her newest body of work, which continues her examination of our contemporary natural world. Love looks to the minute to contemplate the large. She finds in small and quiet moments, experiences and knowledge that highlight life itself and give insight into the cycles and paradoxes of life. Through her daily observations of the world, she notices patterns, rhythms and matters of life and death, which she then enlarges in her artwork and presents in an Alice-in-Wonderful type of installation that seems to be alive. The viewer enters a world of disproportion that in its unusualness draws attention and, in its beauty, breeds care. On one small leaf, for instance, she will see life and death and all the small intricacies that come in between. In this body of work, leaves made out of paper will hang throughout the gallery and investigate life and disease, each fighting for survival; who is to say which should survive? Using hand-made paper and milk paint, walnut ink and beeswax as a drawing tool, she creates textile-like work that represents a microcosm of our whole world.

Kai Chan: A Spider's Logic – a 35-year retrospective at the Textile Museum of Canada (Nov 7, 2010 - May 1, 2011) and the Varley Art Gallery. Kai Chan expresses the small moments of daily life, employing materials and techniques that speak to tradition and modernity. This exhibition celebrates his achievements and reveals the essence of his observations of natural and constructed worlds – and his autobiographical impressions of the connections between the two. To view Chan's artwork is to see him as a "master of the unremarkable" – twigs, thread, toothpicks and buttons are the ephemeral materials that he employs to create transfixing "other-worlds". He works with common household "things" that are reminders of his years growing up in China. Chan has altered the gene pools of what constitutes sculpture and what constitutes textiles by manipulating and representing elements of the natural world to conjure impressions that play on natural phenomena, geographical boundaries and cultural influences.

Whitby Through the Lens: Marjorie G. Ruddy Photographs, 1935-1948. Mike Berube: Know Hope. An exhibition of photographs by Whitby's first female commercial photographer, Marjorie Ruddy, will mark our fortieth anniversary. Also on view, works by photojournalist, Mike Berube, who has received much attention for his documentary photos of civil war, poverty and unrest in Africa. Know Hope features a suite of photographs which hit close to home. Just as Marjorie G. Ruddy documented her local surroundings in the Thirties and Forties, Berube's project is a meditation on regionalism in an increasingly globalized society.
