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

  • Sol LeWitt: Primary Legacy

    In recent years, both the Dia and MASS MoCA have mounted tribute exhibitions to late American artist Sol LeWitt. This week, Mercer Union wraps up its own notable homage, which recreates a 1981 wall drawing LeWitt did for the then-fledgling space.

  • The Khyber Controversy: Three Years' Grace

    For the past number of years, there's been controversy regarding the future of Halifax’s Khyber Arts Society. Seen by many as a key venue locally and nationally, the Khyber was back in the news this month as a city report recommended a new three-year plan for its space.

  • Todd Tremeer: War Games

    Play and strife come together, DIY style, in Todd Tremeer’s Little Wars (Make Me), an interactive project that debuted this month at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. In it, viewers can collaborate on a wall-sized battle mural and “bring the war home” via paper-cutout soldiers.

  • John Kissick/Gwen MacGregor: Two for the Road

    Summer is often marked by contrasts, a dynamic that the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery seems to pick up on in its current pairing of solo shows: John Kissick’s manic, multifaceted paintings and Gwen MacGregor’s calm, geoscience-toned fieldwork.

  • Heat: Marvelous Meltdowns

    MKG127 acknowledges Toronto’s above-average summer temperatures with “Heat,” an exhibition that ironically offers some cool respite while displaying works that evoke bubbling tar, existential crises and blistering guitar solos.
