Sarah Nind: Fictions
Carol Podedworny & Stuart Reid
Sarah Nind's painted photographs are landscapes from found
photographic sources. Through the use of transfers and plexiglas, the
painting can be done on the photograph or underneath it or the
photograph can be inserted between two painted layers. The images are
awash in history and the narrative is loaded with emotion. Sarah Nind
was born in Borneo. She studied at Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris and at
The School of Architecture at the University of Toronto. Produced in
collaboration with The University of Waterloo Art Gallery

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.

Michèle Karch-Ackerman: The Lost
Boys
Virginia M. Eichhorn & Louise W. May
With influences drawn from history and literature, Karch-Ackerman
installation inspires the viewer with challenging subject matter and
aesthetics. The Lost Boys deals with elements woven together from a
variety of sources that are all connected by one thread: the profound
loss of so many young soldiers in the First World War. The title of
the show is borrowed from J.M. Barrie's famous children's story Peter
Pan and the name used for motherless boys who inhabit Neverland.
Barrie's book was written during the First World War and its
metaphorical imagery nurtured a population consumed by grief at the
horrors of war. The artists' choice of materials draws on the warmth
of hand-made articles from the home.

Landmark: The Paintings of Robert Houle and John
Abrams
Carol Podedworny & Stuaart Reid
The bringing together of the work of these two muralists highlights a
common mistrust of nationalism and nationbuilding, where landscape
and history often collide in geography - otherwise known as The Land.
Not only do the two artists reinvent the prevailing archetypes of
traditional landscape art and historical depiction, they do so
through an interrogation of precise historical events. Abram's
triptychs are alive with subversive elements indicating an often
violent truth behind key historical events. Houle's murals are rife
with tragic symbolism and his Ipperwash and Kanehstake recall the
conflicts between Native peoples and government as late as the 1990s.
But unlike Abrams, who veils his intent with an ironic veneer akin to
pop art, Houle attempts to transcend events with an abstraction of an
almost unearthly calm.

Harold Klunder: Love Comes and Goes Again
Ihor Holubizky
Accompanying this presentation of paintings done during the early
1990s, Holubizky's essay describes the Ontario artists' commitment to
his work as "no holds barred" and says that, while influenced by
abstract expressionism, the summation of his long career is a vital
rejection of other artists' vocabularies and art historians'
categorizations.
