Juneau Retro — The Geometric Years: 1955–1980
The exhibition "Juneau Retro — The Geometric Years: 1955–1980" brings together an extensive selection of acrylics on canvas and gouaches on paper representative of the approach taken by Denis Juneau, an artist belonging to the second generation of the Plasticien movement. The works on view feature rhythmical, simple and precise geometric forms, bright, flat colours, an economy of means and a grid-like division of the pictorial space. In them can be seen the formal preoccupations that marked an entire era, not only in the area of the fine arts, but also in the world of design and advertising.

Gender and Exposure in Contemporary Iranian Photography
Discourses about Middle Eastern art tend to be preoccupied by certain issues: femininity, the veil, gender disparity, religious tradition, and revolutionary conflict. This exhibition shifts focus by considering the following themes: masculinity; female agency; secular activities; Persian traditions; and the unique situation of Iran.
The artists communicate visual messages that are by necessity subtle and ambiguous. They use strategies such as metaphor and allegory, the blurring of boundaries between fiction and documentary, and the adoption of visual styles more typical of fashion, advertising, and graphic design. This exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to abandon old assumptions and gain new insights.

Mark Boulos, No Permanent Address
Images Festival and Gallery TPW are very pleased to co-present work by Mark Boulos. No Permanent Address is a three channel video portrait of the New People's Army, a Maoist guerrilla group in the Philippines.
The work speaks to the persistence of communist ideologies at a time in which Boulos suggests "capitalism has begun to lose its sense of inevitability."
Boulos looks at the members of the insurgent group as quotidian heroes as he records their daily activities and speaks with them about notions of love, sacrifice, revolution and ideology.

Gasoline Alley and Other Sunday Dreams by Clint Neufeld
Saskatoon-area artist Clint Neufeld has a grease monkey’s appreciation for muscle cars, but he also replicates the components of engines, transmissions and axles in ceramic. His delicate sculptures, finished and displayed like fine china, ask viewers to consider men’s garage “tinkering” in terms of aesthetics, transformation—even love. Neufeld, a rising star on the Canadian art scene, had solo exhibitions in public art galleries across the country in 2011. Organized by Associate Curator Jen Budney, this is Neufeld’s first solo exhibition at the Mendel.

The enchanted universe presented conveys a sense of wonder, awe and contemplation; viewers are drawn in, entering a strange dimension that evokes a childhood world filled with twisted dreams and figures.

Jeannie Thib: Hyperflat
Jeannie Thib: Hyperflat presents an extensive selection of works by this respected Toronto artist, who borrows decorative patterns from textiles and domestic surfaces, and extends them into three dimensions, generating sculptural forms.
Thib’s sculptural installations, wall drawings and works on paper examine relationships between the decorative and the modern, between architecture and ornament, original and reconstruction. The artist translates historical designs into contemporary industrial materials, reconstituted through operations of cutting and piling, and reinvented through strategies of magnification, repetition, excision and invasion.
“I see Jeannie Thib’s trajectory in recent years leading to ornament as a critique of modernist, rectilinear space, says exhibition curator, Tila Kellman, of Antigonish, and of “ornament as architectural space or built environment.” Thib’s recent work, she says has “demonstrated how ornamental motifs can be reduced to a wide variety of separate elements that are then available for re-combination at the level of the fragment, or as a new way of chaining together an environment.”
