Borderline Research
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. -
Maccarone Is Pleased to Announce an Exhibition of New Works by Eli Hansen
Maccarone is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Eli Hansen. Displaying a laboratory of hand-blown glass, CFL and LED light bulbs, plastic and chopped wood locally sourced from the artist's surroundings in Upstate New York, Hansen crafts a narrative of regionalism, subterranean laboratories, the idiosyncrasy of hand and the spectral presence of a storyteller. These ethereal components congregate in the dimly lit gallery space, simulating an environment of codependence. In the penumbral light exists the murky sensation that a protagonist has been there, abandoning the audience to contemplate who will stop the chemistry set from bubbling over, or pick up the shards of a shattered beaker. In both wall pieces and freestanding sculpture, irregularities emerge from glass blown so precisely it could be mistaken as mass- produced. Hansen effectively abstracts the ready-made; though functional, it is in the surfaces' subtle warps that the hand of the artist is revealed. The objects' inconsistencies force the viewer to reconsider Hansen's process, submitting to an immersive experience where the irregularities seem as confident and unhinged as a hallucinatory vision. Coupled with rough-hewn objects of refuse, Hansen seeks to complicate the division between the clean and the gritty. From found objects and scrap bits emerges an aesthetic of need. The do-it- yourself ethos underscores the artist's commitment to the handmade and a vernacular of the basement laboratory. Hansen's tables of scavenged wood form a stage upon which interloped glass characters tell us a story. Proof of the human comes into play with the vessels' anthropomorphic forms replete with cinched waits, potbellies and slender necks. -

Current Pueblo Women's Ceramics From
YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS GALLERY RELEASE ADVANCE SCHEDULE OF EXHIBITIONS AND INSTALLATIONS SUMMER 2019–SUMMER 2020 Media Contact Janet Sullivan, Communications Coordinator, 203.436.4666, [email protected] or [email protected] Current Pueblo Women’s Ceramics from the Patti Skigen Collection Summer 2019–Spring 2020 This focused, yearlong installation highlights 18 works by Indigenous women artists from the recent gift of Patti Skigen, ll.b. 1968. It consists predominantly of contemporary south- western ceramics and complements the student-curated exhibi- tion Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art, drawn from Yale collections and on view at the Yale University Art Gallery from fall 2019 through spring 2020. Do Ho Suh: Boiler Room, London Studio August 16–December 8, 2019 This installation presents a large-scale work, Boiler Room, London Studio, by South Korean artist Do Ho Suh (b. 1962, m.f.a. 1997). In translucent fabric works such as this one—a full-scale re-creation of the boiler room of the artist’s London studio—Suh connects past and present, time and memory, combining traditional Korean sewing techniques with three-dimensional modeling technologies. Ceremonial Dress from Southwest China: The Ann B. Goodman Collection September 6, 2019–January 5, 2020 Drawn from a recent gift to the Yale University Art Gallery, this exhibition showcases the visual imagination, artistic skill, and technical knowledge on display in the ceremonial clothing of com- munities living in Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan, and other provinces of southwestern China. While the Han people make up more than 90 percent of the inhabitants of China, the individuals who created the textiles on display identify as some of the 55 other groups, which are distinguished by lifestyle and language. -

Who Am We? Do-Ho Suh's Transformative Architecture
Who am We? Do-Ho Suh’s Transformative Architecture Do-Ho Suh, Serpentine Gallery, London, April 2002. Today I am going to place Do-Ho Suh’s work in a number of contexts - art criticism, architecture, cultural theory, Korean culture, personal travelogues. I have just come back from a trip to Korea where I encountered an amazing generosity of time and dialogue from all the artists and architects I met. Much of what I am going to say is in response to that journey. My writing is concerned with architectural qualities, with spaces, with solids, with edges, with views, with permeability, with detail, with the ways in which we construct relationships with others and the places we make through what we say. There are some very close correspondences between a number of texts I have already written on travel, home and identity, one originally for David Blamey for his beautiful book Here, There, Elsewhere: Dialogues on Location and Mobility. who am we I’d like you to first to experiment with the wall piece ‘Who am We?’ and establish if there is a viewing distance that you favour. How does the work position you? From far away we see a washed out colour, a little closer and it appears to be an even but dappled pattern, then closer in again we see many faces, but they all look very similar. And then as we draw back it seems impossible that we were ever able to not see faces all over the wall. Do-Ho Suh was born and educated in Korea and then the US. -

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22Nd Street Showcasing a Recent Gift to the Museum
Image caption on page 3 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Do Ho Suh: 348 West 22nd Street showcasing a recent gift to the museum. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase (2011–15) replicates the artist’s ground-floor residence from a New York City building. Created in luminous swaths of translucent polyester, the rooms and hallways are supported by stainless-steel. In this immersive passageway of conjoined rooms, visitors pass through an ephemeral representation of the artist’s personal history. The corridor, stairs, apartment, and studio are each rendered in a single block of color, with fixtures and appliances replicated in exacting detail. Fusing traditional Korean sewing techniques with digital modeling tools, the maze-like installation of 348 West 22nd Street balances intricate construction with delicate monumentality. The installation is curated by Meghan Doherty, Curatorial Assistant, Contemporary Art at LACMA. Inspired by his own history of migration, Suh’s ethereal, malleable architecture presents an intimate world both deeply familiar and profoundly estranged. The artist’s works elicit a physical manifestation of memory, exploring ideas of personal history, cultural tradition, and belief systems in the contemporary world. Best known for his full-size fabric reconstructions of places he has lived including former residences in Seoul, Providence, New York, Berlin, and London, Suh’s creations of physicalized memory address issues of home, displacement, individuality, and collectivity, articulated through the architecture of domestic space. 348 West 22nd Street, Apartment A, Unit-2, Staircase is the second work by Do Ho Suh to enter LACMA’s collection, following the artist’s Gate (2005) which was acquired by the museum in 2006. -
