  • Newer Chelsea, As Distinct from Old Chelsea
    / A TALE OF TWO CHELSEAS The following pages are about the newer Chelsea, as distinct from Old Chelsea. The area covered is the road between the two Chelseas (once designated as High Street), and along the highway (11/105" ) between Mile Hill to the Chelsea Pioneer Cemetery. Also included are some offshoot roads where there are farms and other habitations of historic interest. 'For the purpose of this tale the highway from Hull to Maniwaki is shown as 11/105. This highway was known for many years as No. 11, but is currently No. 105 73 - The Road From Wright's Town (Hull) to Chelsea Joseph Bouchette in his book "A Topographical Dictionary of the Province of Lower Canada", published in London in 1832, describes Philemon Wright's method of road construction. "This road is called Britannia [now Aylmer] Road and extends seven miles. Being the first road made in this township, the mode of forming it may be interesting as well as useful; Mr. Wright first marked it out as far as the lake [Deschenes], then ploughed it on each side and threw the earth to the centre to form the top into low places, built bridges and paved the road, where necessary, with broken stones; he also built stores at each end for the deposit of different kinds of goods for the accommodation of the upper country. From Columbia Farm two roads branch off in different directions. One, passing along the edge of Columbia Pond [now Leamy Lake], leads to the Gatineau Farm, remarkable as being the spot selected by Mr.

  • Contemporary American Art at the National Gallery of Canada (1967
    Contemporary American Art at the National Gallery of Canada (1967–79): The Surprising Legacy of Brydon E. Smith by Ian C. Ferguson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Art History Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario ©2014 Ian C. Ferguson P a g e | ii Abstract This thesis draws upon Bruno Latour’s concept of Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) to assess the active mediator role played by Brydon E. Smith, the National Gallery of Canada’s (NGC) first Curator of Contemporary Art, as the NGC began to collect postwar American art. Considering the ensuing expansion of its collection from 1967 to 1979, I focus specifically on Smith’s survey exhibitions of artists James Rosenquist (1968), Dan Flavin (1969), Donald Judd (1975) and their related acquisitions, as well as one by Jackson Pollock. Documentary sources in the NGC archives and a questionnaire and interviews with former colleagues of Smith have provided important insights into his curatorial choices and methodology. This research clarifies how curatorial agency may shape the aesthetics and coherence of a public collection. The NGC’s newly acquired credibility in a broader North American cultural context is demonstrated through the critical reception of Smith’s exhibitions, publications and acquisitions. P a g e | iii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge in the first instance the sustained support from staff at the NGC Library and Archives and, in particular, Cyndie Campbell, Philip Dombowsky, and Peter Trépanier. NGC Chief Curator Paul Lang kindly authorized access to curatorial files.

  • City History Hunt: the Evolution of the Bytown Museum
    City History Hunt: The Evolution of the Bytown Museum COMMISSARIAT BUILDING CITY REGISTRY OFFICE (70 Nicholas street) WELLINGTON STREET FIRST EXHIBITION SPACE (116 Sparks street) First Exhibition Space (116 Sparks street) In 1898, a group of women from Ottawa decided it was important to preserve the history of Ottawa and Canada. They joined together to create the Women’s Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa (WCHSO). The WCHSO was the only historical society established and managed entirely by women of the twenty founded in Ontario between 1869 and 1900. Members worked to establish Ottawa as a respected national symbol, to construct a local identity despite Ottawa’s residents being geographically, historically, ethnically, religiously, and linguistically divided, and to include women in the history of the area. “Lone Exhibition”, their first exhibit, was put on at 116 Figure 1: 116 Sparks street from 1955 used as the Center Theatre (City of Ottawa Sparks street in May 1899. The artefacts were a Archives, MG393-NP-34657-1) collection of loaned items by members and the general public. The theme of this and the three following exhibits were a celebration of the area’s early settlers and had similar contents due to their reliance on donations. City Registry Office (70 Nicholas street) The WCHSO found a home for their collection in 1917 at the Old Registry Office. World War One allowed the members of the WCHSO to convince the City of Ottawa that its citizens needed an institution that would preserve and remind them of their rich history. This aided them in obtaining the building.
