The Limestone Barrens Project
Charlotte Jones, Sean McCrum & Stuart Reid
The Limestone Barrens Project is an international multidisciplinary investigation of the limestone cliffs and alvars in three areas: Ontario's Bruce Peninsula, Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula and the Burren in County Clare Ireland. Artists working in lens-based media (photography, video, video projection and video installation), writers, a composer and researchers walked and documented the sites so as to explore links between science, visual art, creative writing and sound. The project's publication is a stunning tribute to the fragile nature of these sites and their importance to our environment. Three essays, artist statements, poetry and sound recordings are accompanied by magnificent illustrations by some of the world's most distinguished landscape photographers, notably Marlene Creates, Har-Prakash Khalsa and Greg Staats. Accompanied by an audio CD. Produced in collaboration with Sir Wilfred Grenville College of Art Gallery, Newfoundland and Model Arts and Niland Gallery, Ireland.

Revealing the Subject
Shannon Anderson
An overview of the galleries' permanent collections through portraiture. By looking at work produced since the late 1970s by such artists as Ian Carr-Harris, Marlene Creates, Angela Grauerholz and Attila Richard Lucacs, Anderson follows many threads, including the radical shifts in technology and the fracturing of the concept of identity. She concludes that portraiture, no matter the medium, responds to these states of change.
