I am moved by my scars, by my own filth to re-write history with my body to shed the blood of those who betray themselves To life, world humanity I ascribe To my people . my history . I address my vision. —Lee Maracle, “War,” Bent Box To unsettle means to disturb, unnerve, and upset, but could also mean to offer pause for thinking otherwise about an issue or an idea. From May to October 2017, (Un)settled, a six-month-long curatorial project, took place at Guild Park and Gardens in south Scarborough, and at the Doris McCarthy Gallery at the University of Toronto Scarborough (where the exhibition was titled Unsettling), showcasing the work of Lori Blondeau, Lisa Myers, Duorama, Basil AlZeri, and Terrance Houle. The project was a multi-pronged collaboration between myself, the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo, the Doris McCarthy Gallery, Friends of the Guild, the Waterloo Archives, the 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival’s special project 7a*md8, curated by Golboo Amani and Francisco-Fernando Granados, and the Landmarks Project. -

It is informed by the writings of George Steiner, who advanced a typology of difficult forms in poetry. The major works of Jack Chambers (The Hart of London), Michael Snow (La Region Centrale), and Joyce Wieland (Reason Over Passion) illustrate the ways in which a poetic vanguard in cinema is anchored in an aesthetic of difficulty. -

Doris Mccarthy: a Century of Roughing It in the Bush
FEATURES / / Doris McCarthy: A Century of Roughing It in the Bush Doris McCarthy painting in Grise Fjord, Nunavut 1976 JUNE 30, 2010 BY CANADIAN ART In some trend-oriented sectors of contemporary art, hot names seem to linger for just a few days, never mind decades. And that sometimes-ckle nature of the art world makes Doris McCarthy’s creative longevity all the more impressive. On July 7, McCarthy turns 100, with a variety of exhibitions running to honour her eight-decade practice in landscape painting, plein-air process, art education and more. The largest and most important of these shows, “Doris McCarthy: Roughing It in the Bush,” takes place at McCarthy’s namesake gallery on the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus as well as at the university’s downtown art centre. Combining rarely exhibited hard-edge abstractions from the 1960s with classic McCarthy landscapes and assorted travel ephemera, “Roughing It in the Bush” promises to present the artist’s much-loved oeuvre in a fresh and unexpected way. Independent curator Nancy Campbell, who organized “Roughing It,” certainly has a track record of highlighting vanguard qualities in overlooked or familiar-seeming bodies of work. Her projects presenting contemporary Inuit artists alongside their southern, urban counterparts have made Annie Pootoogook and Shuvinai Ashoona into deservedly well-known talents, and currently pair Ed Pien and Samonie Toonoo at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery. No doubt Campbell’s eye for cutting-edge content in unexpected material continues in the presentation of these little-seen McCarthy abstracts. Doris McCarthy Keyhole Harbour 1965 Courtesy of the artist / photo Toni Hafkenscheid Also honouring McCarthy’s legacy is “Eight Paintings/Eight Decades,” an exhibition spanning the 1930s through to the 2000s at McCarthy’s Toronto dealer, Wynick/Tuck; a show of some other 1960s abstractions at the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie; and an art camp and plein-air painting competition organized by Mountain Galleries in Jasper. -
