  • Art Institutions and the Feminist Dialectic
    Ontario Association of Art Galleries December 3 and 4, 2008 Art Institutions and the Feminist Dialectic Program Description Art Institutions and the Feminist Dialectic aims to explore, through panel discussions, working groups, and a series of conversations, the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the exhibition, acquisition, and preservation of feminist artwork by looking back over the last thirty-five years in Ontarioʼs public art gallery practice. What feminist artwork has come into Ontario collections? Both Museum London and the McIntosh Gallery are acquiring major pieces by Rae Davis and, in recent years, a number of Ontario public art galleries, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Textile Museum of Canada, have mounted major exhibitions and acquired significant works of art that take up a feminist dialectic. Performative or performance-based works by Rebecca Belmore, Jana Sterbak, and Janet Cardiff have recently been chosen to represent Canada at the Venice Biennial, while Lisa Steele, Suzy Lake, and Colette Whiten are featured in WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, a major international exhibition of feminist art organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Given that artworks that arose from the activism and social consciousness of the late 1960s and that addressed civil rights, war protest, and feminism have been entering public art galleries and museums in recent years, a new discussion of how feminist work performs in the museum space is timely. This two-day symposium will address issues, contradictions and paradoxes around the exhibition, acquisition, and preservation of feminist artwork by Ontario public art galleries.

Abstract and Keywords This essay examines several problems in contemporary painting, beginning with the question of painting's real or imagined centrality within the visual arts. The question then asked is whether or not there is anvthing fundamental which distinguishes painting from the other arts, by looking at the example set in sculpture by Richard Serra.The conclusion reached, in opposition to Serra, is that what distinguishes painting are its conventions, following the work by the critic, Yve-Alain Bois, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Messengers in a Skeptical World Barbara Tekker The emphasis on the artist and the distancing from religious to secular themes is typical of contemporary art, leading art historian James Elkins to assert: “[A]mbitious successful art is thoroughly non-religious.”1 Indeed, even Canadian artist and curator A.A. Bronson (b. 1946), whose own art deals with spirituality and is founder of the Institute for Art, Religion and Social Justice in New York City, believes that iconic symbols of religion have no place in today’s art.2 Bronson has stated that an artist “who uses religious language risks being cast out of the inner circles of contemporary art.”3 Is such art then categorized as irrelevant and outdated? What would propel contemporary artists to include religious symbolism in their artwork? Featured in this exhibition essay are three contemporary Canadian artists who have ignored Bronson and others who have similar views, and have injected the theme of angels into their work: Winnipeg- based performance artist Sharon Alward (b.

    C y n t h i a I m o g e n H a m m o n d c u r r i c u l u m v i t a e Contact 514 848 2424 x 5171 (w) [email protected] Biography Dr Cynthia Hammond (b. 1969) is an artist and historian of the built environment. In 2002 she graduated from the Humanities Interdisciplinary PhD Program, Concordia University (Montréal). Her dissertation argues that art-making is, in addition to being a form of knowledge and inquiry, a powerful means to mobilize communities around shared pasts and collective heritage, especially urban landscapes and architecture. The dissertation won the Governor-General's Gold Medal in 2002, and was published in revised and expanded form with Ashgate Press in 2012 (reissued in paperback, 2017). From 2003-05, Hammond held the first SSHRC-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the School of Architecture, McGill University. She is full Professor in Concordia’s Department of Art History, where she teaches the history of the built environment as well as courses on feminist and spatial theory and interdisciplinary practice. Hammond is the 2017 recipient of the Faculty of Fine Arts Distinguished Teaching Award, and the 2018-19 University Research Award in the category of “The Person and Society”. She was the founding Director of the Right to the City pedagogical initiative, which supports neighbourhood-based, cross- disciplinary research and creation. From 2013-16 she was Chair of the Department of Art History. And from 2017-2020 she was the lead Co-Director of Concordia’s Centre for Oral History & Digital Storytelling, a university-recognized research centre whose mandate is to support research with, and creation resulting from, life stories and interviews.

  • The First Enewsletter from the School of Art! the Launch of This Publication Marks an Exciting New Chapter in The
    WeWelcome to the first eNewsletter from the School of Art! Director’s Message The launch of this publication marks an exciting new chapter in the long history of the School of Art and arrives near the com- pletion of my first year as its new Director. My adjustment to life in Winnipeg has been both exciting and challenging. In many respects, Winnipeg offers a quintessentially Canadian experience: a city spread out but not too large; the fullness of seasons year ‘round, a verdant landscape; mornings full of light and freshness, intense summer heat and frigid winter cold. This shifting environment constantly stimulates our perceptions of the world, challenges us to engage our senses and, coupled with Winnipeg’s unique geographical centrality, makes us aware of our place in the big picture. For many decades the School of Art has played an important role in the development of art in western Canada. The future holds great promise: we are planning for a new home in a renovated Taché Hall and continue to lay the groundwork for an MFA program. I welcome the challenge of shaping the vision of the School of Art during these exciting times and encourage each one of you to consider how each member of the School’s educational community, both present and past, might play an important role in building our success. This newsletter is the first in what I hope will be a series of communications between the School of Art and its extended family of alumni and friends. You are a very special group and one of the most important objectives I have is to welcome you into a dialogue with each other and the School of Art as we move these projects forward.
