Lines Painted in Early Spring
Patrick Mahon
Referencing the poem by Wordsworth in which he sets forth the classic opposition between nature and culture, Mahon presents four Canadian artists whose engaging and often lyrical work embodies the fusion and collision of nature and culture. These artists show painting as a language capable of addressing ideas concerning space and landscape through painterly means that propose the mutual agency of human culture and the "ground" that surrounds it. Adopting the metaphor of marking lines upon the road, the exhibition proposes a space for painting where inventive ideas about representation cross-pollinate to produce a complex yet continuous expanse. With work by Gerald Ferguson (Halifax), Be Reeves (Victoria), Carmen Ruschiensk and Francine Savard (Montréal). In English and French.

Gerald Ferguson: Recent Paintings
James Patten & Diana Nemiroff
For three decades Ferguson's questioning of conventional strategies has been a strong influence on Canadian art. His recent return to abstract conceptualism is marked by repetition and process.

Gerald Ferguson: 1,000,000 Grapes
Ingrid Jenkner
Strongly identified with the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where he has taught for thirty years, Ferguson has persisted in a practice of painting governed by an invariably reductive ethic. '1,000,000 Grapes' is a parallel publication to the artist's book of the same name produced in 1998 and contains an artist's statement, essay and biography.
