In Canada, art making concerned with landscape is unavoidably tied to the narratives of place – local and nationalist, Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

Only When the Shades of Night Begin to Gather

September 14, 2011

The title of this exhibition is pulled from Hegel’s Philosophy of Right (1820):

“Philosophy, as the thought of the world, does not appear until reality has completed its formative process, and made itself ready. … [O]nly in the maturity of reality does the ideal appear as counterpart to the real, apprehends the real world in its substance, and shapes it into an intellectual kingdom. When philosophy paints its grey in grey, one form of life has become old, and by means of grey it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known. The owl of Minerva, takes its flight only when the shades of night begin to gather.”

Effects Become Causes

March 23, 2011,

Paintings from the Undergraduate Visual Arts Programs. Opening Wednesday March 23, 2011, 5 to 7 pm. To April 9, 2011.

Effects/Causes

The question is no longer what or how but why. Why Paint?

The study and teaching of painting holds a central place in art instruction in art departments and schools. It is often the first practice we think of when we think of visual art and it has a vast array of techniques and philosophies. The history of Art sometimes reads as the history of painting and the history of ideas seem reflected in the canvases of each era.

What Matter

September 11, 2009,

The recent turn toward visual culture, materiality, and the “thing” in the humanities is central to issues around artistic praxis and reception. It has become all the more urgent in a world where new and obsolete products stare back at us from a commoditized landscape. How are these issues reflected in contemporary artworks, and how might these works be resisting this logic, shedding light on new kinds of relations with the material world?
