    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.

WELLS These are a few of the colourful local nicknames for the TH&B markers that can still be found hidden in plain sight on the side of rail bridges and train stations around Hamilton. TH&B was the common name of the former Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo railway that operated out of Hamilton, crisscrossing the Niagara Peninsula from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, from 1895-1987. The rail line was a vital link that like so many things in the city TO HELL & BACK, was folded into a larger corporation – in this case CN Rail – and forgotten. TITS, HOOTERS & BOOBS, Resuscitating the moniker of this defunct IRED, ungry ROKE, railway, TH&B is the creative partnership T H & B of Simon Frank, Dave Hind, Ivan Jurakic, and Tor Lukasik-Foss; a group of visual TRAMPS, HOBOS & BUMS... artists operating out of the Hamilton area. The group collaborates on projects that respond to site, context and history, and sets out to examine the often unexpected intersections between culture, industry and the natural environment. TH&B encapsulates an alliance between artists with ties to the region. As such, the team envisioned developing a large invitational warehouse exhibition that would focus on sculpture, installation and performance. To this end, we pursued a partnership with 270 Sherman, to secure a large venue in the industrial heart of Hamilton – the old sewing floor of the on Saturday, May 3, and attended by over Imperial Cotton Centre, 30,000 square feet 300 people.

This year, for example, along with the customary launch of the Fall RACAR–a “Critical Curating” special issue edited by Marie Fraser and Alice Ming Wai Jim–and the perennial opportunity to renew old relationships and start fresh ones, we’ll kick off UAAC’s new website. Also, rather than a keynote lecture, we’ll have keynote performances by Louise Liliefeldt and Lori Blondeau, an exciting outgrowth of performance’s rising importance as a mode of presentation at our conference. Thanks to the conference organizers, Joan Coutu and Bojana Videkanic, for their insight in suggesting this shift, and for the rest of their hard work on this conference. The programming committee– Joan Coutu, Bojana Videkanic and Annie Gérin– also must be recognized for its great work reviewing session proposals. And, as always, huge applause for Fran Pauzé, UAAC’s administrator, who has kept us on track day in and day out for years now. As you know, our conference’s dynamism flows from the continued broadening and revitalization of UAAC’s constituency. However, the difficult state of culture and education today makes participation by students and precariously-employed faculty harder and harder.

And having Banff as the setting just heightens the delight: in the most astonishingly picturesque way possible, it makes the separation from everyday life both figurative and literal. Incredibly, the members of the Universities Art Association of Canada have been getting together like this for five decades—2017 is the fifteenth anniversary of the first UAAC conference, held at Queen’s University and organized around the theme of “The Arts and the University.” So it’s fitting that we should reflect on what’s happened in that time: to the arts, to universities, to our geographical, political and cultural contexts. Certainly David Garneau’s keynote presentation, “Indian Agents: Indigenous Artists as Non-State Actors,” will provide a crucial opportunity for that, but there will be other occasions as well and I hope you will find the experience productive and invigorating. I want to thank the organizers for their hard work in bringing this conference together. Thanks also to the programming committee for their great work with the difficult task of reviewing session proposals.

    Essays / Marian Penner Bancroft UBC in the Sixties A conversation with Audrey Capel Doray, Gathie Falk, Donald Gutstein, Karen Jamieson, Glenn Lewis, Jamie Reid, and Abraham Rogatnick Abraham Rogatnick: In the last ten to fifteen years, students have approached me, and they are always interested in this period of the sixties. They are working on a thesis or some project, and I always wonder why, as they were born in the eighties or the nineties. But they come to me with an interest, a very specific interest. I always thought they were wonderful days, but it never occurred to me that another generation would have known about it. Marian Penner Bancroft: I think that there were certain events and moments in the sixties that have spawned all kinds of current activities and actions, whether in politics, visual art, writing, theatre, dance. (We don’t have someone from theatre here.) But, for example, there are overlaps such as your perfor- mance work, Glenn and Gathie, coming out of the workshop that you did with Deborah Hay in 1968, and these are overlaps that continue. Audrey Capel Doray: The first time I met you, Karen, was in my living room, for an Intermedia meeting. And then at an Intermedia Night when I had the phosphorescent wall up. You brought your dancers in, and you decided on a metronome and then worked there for a couple days in a room of your own. Another room had Claude Breeze and his band. You did this dance, and all I have is one simple little photograph of your dancers, of the shadows of your dancers in that backlit room.

Especially in western Canada, universities occupy large swaths of suburban space rather than integrating into urban environments like many institutions do in Toronto and Montreal. Beyond the western edge of the less-developed land of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, on the unceded territory of the Musqueam people, the public spaces of UBC emerge. Compared to the planned space of the City of Vancouver, where the influence of the Canadian Pacific Railway is foundational, UBC’s Point Grey campus is plotted along a point of assembly. Main Mall evokes the expansive parade grounds needed to rally the troops for the two world wars that figure prominently in UBC’s development. Both the plan drawing from 1914 and an aerial photograph from 1931 illustrating the construction of campus focus on this corridor from a bird’s-eye perspective.
