Diane Morin/Nelly-Eve Rajotte
The exhibition “Effleurements,” curated by Nicole Gingras, featured multimedia works by the Montreal artists Diane Morin and Nelly-Eve Rajotte, who both employ light, movement and sound in their art.
Evan Lee
In his exhibition “Drawn from Memory,” Evan Lee, in a departure from his forays into photographic experiments and still life, takes up subject matter drawn from the everyday. Whereas his previous work often played with double meanings in a somewhat surreal, paranoid-critical way, here Lee favours a direct representation of his subjects.
Simon Starling
Simon Starling’s exhibition “Cuttings (Supplement),” at The Power Plant, is part of an ongoing dialogue between artist and gallery that draws on several years of mutual support. (The Power Plant helped realize his 2005 show “Cuttings” at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Basel.)
Francine Savard
On late-winter afternoons, daylight casts a shadowy industrial grid across the white walls and mottled cement floor of Diaz Contemporary’s main space.
Neil Wedman
Neil Wedman’s exhibition “Untitled Flying Saucer Monochromes,” curated by Steven Tong, consists of five elegant, pearl-grey monochrome paintings and a smart accompanying essay by Jessie Caryl.
Terence Koh
“Is this man the next Warhol?” screamed the headline on the cover of the German art magazine Monopol. It was accompanied by a photograph of the New York–based Chinese-Canadian artist Terence Koh.
Yann Pocreau
Yann Pocreau is interested in architecture’s latent content, narrative potential and dormant histories. He envisions his work as a dialogue with the nature of the spaces he photographs.
Kristan Horton
In April 2008, Kristan Horton presented his first solo exhibition in New York, at the downtown gallery White Columns.
Shirley Wiitasalo
Many would agree that the evolution of colour-field painting was partly indebted to the invention of acrylic paint.
Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins
Wha Happened?”—finally, an exhibition that questioned the very essence of exhibition-making, a double entendre of exposure intentionally produced by artists in an artist-run centre.
