Catherine Heard

Mask and Metamorphosis
Shirley Madill, Mary Ann Caws & Kati Campbell

The resurgence of Surrealist tendencies in contemporary art is explored in the work of six women artists. Like the Surrealism of the 1930s and 1940s, their work incorporates Gothic motifs, the bizarre and the disquieting and is motivated by an interest in the unconscious. But unlike their historical predecessors, these artists put their own bodies at stake and question conventional interpretations of gender and sexuality. Three essays explore a Surrealism revitalized by feminism. Artists are Therese Bollinger (Toronto), Janieta Eyre (Toronto), Zoe Leonard (New York), Catherine Heard (Toronto), Sheila Butler (Toronto) and Alice Maher (Dublin).

Skinjobs
Annette Hurtig
Conceived to coincide with a conference of the International Gothic Association, Skinjobs brings together the work of Stephen Andrews, Michelle Gay, Catherine Heard, Teresa Marshall, Regan Morris and Brian Putz. Hurtig stresses that gothic sensibilities have always arisen in conjunction with social upheavals and epidemics. Looking at the works selected, the author proposes that the 'return to the repressed' , so characteristic of gothic expression, has acquired a subversive edge.
