Sources
Inventions drive the development of art. Their makers become the sources that an art scene draws from and around which it coheres.
Michael Snow’s films and new-media works have brought interdisciplinary energy to Toronto since the 1960s. Vera Frenkel’s narrative
excursions have pointed the way towards a postmodern, post-object art-making that is aligned with Ian Carr-Harris’s sculptural
adventures with textuality and other near-intangibles. Peggy Gale has invested independent curating with a level of professionalism
that has set standards for institutional programming. Noel Harding has progressed from video and installation art to a current practice
that revolves around vastly scaled public-art initiatives that are at the forefront of green technology and ecological research.
