Hutchinson GENERAL HARDWARE CONTEMPORARY 1520 Queen Street West, Toronto, M6R 1A4 www.generalhardware.ca Hours: Wed. - Sat., 12 - 6 pm email: [email protected] 416-821-3060 DaveandJenn (David Foy and Jennifer Saleik) have collaborated since 2004. Foy was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1982; Saleik in Velbert, Germany, in 1983. They graduated with distinction from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2006, making their first appearance as DaveandJenn in the graduating exhibition. Experimenting with form and materials is an important aspect of their work, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, animation and digital video. Over the years they have developed a method of painting dense, rich worlds in between multiple layers of resin, slowly building up their final image in a manner that is reminiscent of celluloid animation, collage and Victorian shadow boxes. DaveandJenn are two times RBC Canadian Painting Competition finalists (2006, 2009), awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta’s Biennial Emerging Artist Award (2010) and longlisted for the Sobey Art Award (2011). DaveandJenn’s work was included in the acclaimed “Oh Canada” exhibition curated by Denise Markonish at MASS MoCA – the largest survey of contemporary Canadian art ever produced outside of Canada. Their work can be found in both private and public collections throughout North America, including the Royal Bank of Canada, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Calgary Municipal Collection and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

  • The Interlopers Exhibition Publication
    The Interlopers Mary Anne Barkhouse The Interlopers Mary Anne Barkhouse Essays by Corinna Ghaznavi and Tanya Lukin Linklater Curated by Renée van der Avoird MacLaren Art Centre, Barrie, Ontario introduction The Interlopers, a sculptural installation by Kwakiutl artist Mary Anne Barkhouse, examines the relationships between native North American animals and the colonial structures of territory, expansion and empire that encroach on their terrain. Barkhouse, a Minden-based artist, adeptly encapsulates this tension, staging a feast of scraps and waste for a hungry coywolf caught in a longing stare, his hind legs tensing into what could become a supplication or a pounce. In the second part of this project, a coywolf, curled up asleep in our garden courtyard, is seemingly naturalized in this interstitial space. The hybrid animal, emerging from the crossbreeding of two similar but distinct species in a process catalyzed by human intervention, is mobilized by Barkhouse as a metaphor for untangling notions of human-animal dynamics, Indigenous-settler histories, and questions of tolerance, respect and power. The Interlopers has particular resonance for Barrie and its surrounding environment. Located north of Toronto and south of Muskoka, this rapidly expanding city is prized for its pristine outdoor spaces. Entering the Janice Laking Gallery that houses The Interlopers culls within the visitor a conscious awareness that we are neither the first, nor the last, nor the only inhabitants of this ecologically rich place. Humbly, we acknowledge that we, in fact, may be the interlopers in these spaces. Two guest essayists—Corinna Ghaznavi and Tanya Lukin Linklater—have provided analytic and poetic points of entry into this exhibition, further enriching 3 our understanding of Barkhouse’s project.

  • Fall Exhibitions Open at Esker Foundation
    Fall Exhibitions Open at Esker Foundation For immediate release: Mary Anne Barkhouse Le rêve aux loups September 16 to December 22, 2017 Opening reception: Friday, September 15, 6-10pm Press preview: Thursday, September 14, 6-7pm RSVP to [email protected] Esker Foundation presents a major mid-career survey of work by Kwakiutl Artist Mary Anne Barkhouse – including three new commissions. Le rêve aux loups is the first solo exhibition in Alberta by Kwakiutl artist Mary Anne Barkhouse and the largest survey exhibition of her work to date. Guest curated by Jennifer Rudder, an earlier iteration of the exhibition originated at the Koffler Gallery, Toronto. At Esker Foundation the exhibition is greatly expanded upon and reimagined, bringing together for the first time works from major museum collections along with three new commissions. The artistic practice of Mary Anne Barkhouse is deeply engaged with environmental and indigenous issues, with the visual iconography of animals playing a central role. Barkhouse situates her work between two worlds, the human and the natural. She employs the beaver, raven, wolf and coyote as symbols of the ability to adapt and persist, regenerate and repair –even throughout endless incursions into their environs. “Barkhouse’s bi-coastal heritage taught her the individual and communal importance of stewardship of the land. She spent alternate summers fishing on the Pacific Ocean with her Kwakiutl grandfather, Fred Cook − a fisherman, logger, and carpenter − and looking after the animals close to the Atlantic Ocean with her German settler grandfather, Alfred Barkhouse − a farmer in Nova Scotia. [she]…employs a visual iconography of animals − including the owl, wolf, bat, and coyote − both as symbols of persistence, resilience, and regeneration, and as a way to address her commitment to the active Kwakiutl and farming practices of conservation and sustainability.” – Jennifer Rudder, Guest Curator.
