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 D éry (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.

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).
