Deis’ large-scale images, over a gigapixel in resolution, have a remarkable clarity that completely immerses the viewer. The almost surrealist images are captured with a virtual-view camera using a cus- tom digital-analogue system developed by Deis. Many of the large-format archival inkjet prints depict buildings and construction sites in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. They have a clear, even quality of light and a painfully exquisite sense of fine detail. At the same time, they appear almost illustrative, like dioramas or theatre sets.

Although the effect is one of staging, the realization that his subjects are photographed in situ lends an air of magic to the images. Like many artists of his gen- eration, Deis is particularly intrigued by industrial landscapes and construction scenes that position new social forces and structures against eroding backdrops. Eric Deis was born on a Canadian military station on the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC. In 2004, he earned an MFA from the University of California, San Diego. He is a 2001 graduate of Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, Vancouver (BFA) and is a 2009 Project Grant recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts. His startling photographs have been exhibited in Canada, United States and Europe.

    Borderline Research Histories of Art between Canada and the United States, c. 1965–1975 Adam Douglas Swinton Welch A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Adam Douglas Swinton Welch 2019 Borderline Research Histories of Art between Canada and the United States, c. 1965–1975 Adam Douglas Swinton Welch Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Taking General Idea’s “Borderline Research” request, which appeared in the first issue of FILE Megazine (1972), as a model, this dissertation presents a composite set of histories. Through a comparative case approach, I present eight scenes which register and enact larger political, social, and aesthetic tendencies in art between Canada and the United States from 1965 to 1975. These cases include Jack Bush’s relationship with the critic Clement Greenberg; Brydon Smith’s first decade as curator at the National Gallery of Canada (1967–1975); the exhibition New York 13 (1969) at the Vancouver Art Gallery; Greg Curnoe’s debt to New York Neo-dada; Joyce Wieland living in New York and making work for exhibition in Toronto (1962–1972); Barry Lord and Gail Dexter’s involvement with the Canadian Liberation Movement (1970–1975); the use of surrogates and copies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1967–1972); and the Eternal Network performance event, Decca Dance, in Los Angeles (1974). Relying heavily on my work in institutional archives, artists’ fonds, and research interviews, I establish chronologies and describe events. By the close of my study, in the mid-1970s, the movement of art and ideas was eased between Canada and the United States, anticipating the advent of a globalized art world.

    Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011 Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present 1978 –2011 James Rot tman Fin eArt www.jamesrottmanfineart.com [email protected] 416-893-5784 Douglas Haynes Split Diamond Paintings to Present Douglas Haynes works have challenged and engaged his audience for over five decades as a celebrated senior Canadian artist. This exhibition, curated by James Rottman Fine Art, features the Split Diamond series of the late 1970’s, the Toledo series works from the 1990’s and more recent works up to 2011. Haynes’ Split Diamond paintings are a highlight of this exhibition. When Doug allowed me to represent and exhibit his work in Toronto, I was ecstatic. I have always been a huge fan of his works and own a number of his works in my own inventory. However, the fun really began when our agreement was finalized. I then found myself with the opportunity to view forty years of works produced by a nationally celebrated artist. What a thrill! One by one the paintings were being pulled off their racks for me to view. My objective was to become more familiar with his large body of work, as well as choose fifteen or so of my favourite works for the exhibition. It was amazing to see the depth, the evolution and the originality of Doug’s work in the scope of Canadian art. When Haynes works were being pulled off the racks I immediately recognized the beauty and importance of these large format works from the late 1970’s in to the early 1980’s, known as the “Split Diamond Paintings”.

The question pre- sented is: Whether the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court erred when it held, in direct conflict with the Seventh Circuit, that FDA’s rejection of warning language proposed in a Citizen Petition is not “clear evidence” sufficient to preempt state tort claims that the manufacturer was obligated to add the FDA- rejected language to its drug’s labeling.

Urquhart’s creativity in his most recent work continues to be provocative, challenging and acutely fine tuned. The recent works in this exhibition are mysterious and thoughtful, hallmarks of his work throughout his long, celebrated career. In this series of hand coloured etchings created in 2017, Tony explores the ideas of metamorphosis and immortality through hinting at comparative illustrations of the anatomy, physiology and brain structure of prehistoric cats and humans. What questions does Urquhart raise in this series of etchings? The unique hand coloured etchings in the series appear to build on and subsequently further develop ideas through the series. When asked to explain the intent of these etchings Tony takes a moment to respond and states that he is really not sure how to answer except to say that Goya has always influenced his work. Urquhart’s creativity in his most recent work Often, Tony needs to reflect for a period of time continues to be provocative, challenging and before he can provide rigorous answers about even acutely fine tuned.
