Cathy Daley
Just My Imagination
Daina Augaitis, Louise Déry, David Liss et al
Publication of a cross-country exhibition dedicated to the recent resurgence of drawing. No longer shunted to the edges of contemporary art, drawing is reconfiguring itself as a self-sufficient practice that thrives on its own or even in an interdisciplinary environment. The work of the 14 artists presented here testifies to drawing's ability to incorporate other media and disciplines, including installation and performance. Includes essays and statements by some of the country's most prominent curators, notably Daina Augaitis (Vanvouver Art Gallery), Louise Déry (Galerie de l'Université du Québec à Montréal) and David Liss (Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art). With work by Stephen Andrews, Sheila Butler, Cathy Daley, Raphaëlle de Groot, Ed Pien and more.

Cathy Daley : Le vêtement comme envoûtement
Jocelyne Fortin
Les oeuvres de Cathy Daley, les pastels sur vélin et la scuplture, investissent le champ de l'âme humaine en pointant des aspects propres à l'apparence et aux enjeux que sa démarche artistique soulève. D'entrée de jeu, le modelage du corps féminin par le système de la mode impose des états inimaginables et hautement difficiles à assumer pour qui que ce soit. Le texte de Fortin explore le vision de l'artiste dans un ésprit muséographique. En français et anglais
Rather than owning clothes, the tile of this bilingual publication on the work of the Toronto artist refers to being in fact possessed by one's clothing: an apt view of Daley's large pastel drawings and sculptures. While her exaggerated representations of women's clothing have the audacity of high fashion, the subject of her work is the imaginative and critical universe of art. Presented so as to enchant and draw in the viewer, her oeuvre explores the fashion system and its significance for women and their bodies. In English and French.
