RELATED STORIES

  • Chris Kline

    The formal grace of this installation of new paintings by Chris Kline is enhanced by its counterpoint of material precision and visual simplicity. I use the musical term counterpoint not only to acknowledge Kline’s previous life as a guitarist in neo-punk bands, but also because the paintings create a visual rhythm between themselves and the gallery space.

  • Projections

    In the wake of two recent survey exhibitions devoted to the medium of projection, the following words by Victor Burgin, used by Ian Carr-Harris in his 1995 projection piece Rozenstraat 8, seem especially apt: “History has moved around my own work, changing at least one of its meanings…Today such work constitutes a distinct genre, and an item in the available repertoire of stylistic conventions.”

  • Unterspiel

    In “Unterspiel,” an exhibition at the University of Toronto’s Blackwood Gallery and its satellite e-Gallery (and previously shown at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver in 2005), the contemporary Viennese artists Catrin Bolt, Marlene Haring, Patrick Baumüller and Severin Hofmann, monochrom and Hans Schabus rethink, reframe and play with history
