Photo by Linda Ryde. 1 | RMG Annual Report 2015 RMG Annual Report 2015 | 2 The Robert McLaughlin Gallery The Robert McLaughlin Gallery President’s Report 2015 has been a year of change and challenge. We celebrated many milestones along the way as the RMG continues to flourish with an ever expanding group of loyal supporters. The role of the Board is to set the priorities and policies of the organization, approve the annual budget and monitor its implementation, and ensure that the gallery continues to serve the needs of the local community. An important part of this work was the search and appointment of our new CEO, Donna Raetsen-Kemp, in August 2015. Donna’s excellent leadership and people-first approach will lead the Gallery to new heights. In 2015-16, the priorities of the RMG as set out in the Strategic Plan were to stabilize, strengthen and align staffing and resources, and continue to build capacity within the organization in preparation for the next phase of transformation. Donna, together with her extremely talented and creative staff team and dedicated volunteers, have certainly made significant strides in that direction. In a short time, they have reignited how people have connected with the RMG through the: • Organization of RMG Fridays featuring a spectacular range of artistic expression leading up to the wildly successful fifth anniversary celebration in February 2016 • Presentation of several remarkable exhibitions of modern and contemporary Canadian art throughout the year • Engagement of accomplished artists, emerging artists, aspiring artists, story tellers, and art lovers at all levels in the RMG’s education and outreach programs • And finally, the provision of space in the beautifully renovated RMG for new collaborations, experiences, and reflection, through new open studios and residencies. In addition, several important works were added to our collection. We are grateful to the donors of these works as we continue to honour and protect the legacy of the Painters Eleven and works of abstraction through our Permanent Collection. Indeed, we owe a debt of gratitude to the RMG team for their exceptional devotion, resourcefulness and persistence throughout the fall when the HVAC system failed, taking all necessary measures to protect our national treasures until the mechanical issues were finally resolved. Installation of Moving Image: Selections from the Permanent Collection. Photo by Brilynn Ferguson. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Donna and her incredible team, the volunteers, and the RMG membership for their ongoing commitment and support for the RMG. I would also like to extend our appreciation to the City of Oshawa, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts for their critical support of the RMG. And, personally, I would like to thank my fellow Trustees, whose depth of commitment and generous giving of their time and talent to the Board’s work have been invaluable. “ One of the most beautiful small galleries I have We can certainly look forward to exciting things to come. ever seen. Lovely architecture and great art.” - Deborah Olivia Petrie President, Board of Trustees 3 | RMG Annual Report 2015 RMG Annual Report 2015 | 4 The Robert McLaughlin Gallery The Robert McLaughlin Gallery CEO’s Report My first few months drove home the value of our Permanent Collection and the unique way our community relates to the RMG. Because of unexpected and unprecedented events, a lot of our time was consumed with protecting and preserving the collection. New to the RMG, it gave me the rare opportunity to see how much our board, staff, stakeholders, friends and our supporters value and love the gallery: • Our Curatorial team showed grit and determination, working tirelessly for months to protect the Permanent Collection as our Arthur Erickson designed building-within-a- building experienced persistent HVAC issues. • The Canadian Conservation Institute recognized the significance of our Collection and provided us with around-the-clock guidance from their Senior Conservation Scientist, stationed in Rome. Our national treasure received international attention. • The RMG education team dug deep, creating outstanding workshops, classes and community arts experiences that built momentum. • We nimbly replaced a much-anticipated touring exhibition with a stellar retrospective from our Permanent Collection. The cancellation resulted from HVAC issues and the associated costs had significant impact on our financial position. • City of Oshawa management worked with top-level engineers to find solutions to the complex issues that challenged operations and jeopardized our Collection. While navigating the turbulence, we stared unflinchingly at our processes and made improvements. Throughout it all, volunteers rallied, more people visited and RMG Fridays soared. While my own passion for the RMG brought me here, every hurdle and triumph we A family enjoys a studio activity at RMG Fridays. Photo by Lucy Villeneuve. experienced underscored the significance of our gallery and the Permanent Collection and all it stands for. I am excited about our future. Although there is much work to be done, opportunities abound thanks to the steps our Board and staff have taken. We are stronger as we move through 2016. “ This art gallery is an oasis of exquisite culture in the rough diamond that is Oshawa’s cultural scene. Not Onward and upward…together! only does it contain a stunning permanent collection, it regularly features traveling shows of world calibre artists and amazing contemporary displays. It should not be missed if you find yourself in Durham region.” Donna Raetsen-Kemp Chief Executive Office - Lionel 5 | RMG Annual Report 2015 RMG Annual Report 2015 | 6 The Robert McLaughlin Gallery The Robert McLaughlin Gallery Curator’s Report 2015 was a year of important accessions to the RMG’s permanent collection including twelve early photographs by Senior Canadian artist Robert Bourdeau, paintings by Abstract Expressionist icon Rita Letendre, and figurative painter Tony Scherman, as well as work by Oshawa-raised contemporary artists Clinton Griffin and Scott Griffin. The RMG’s Acquisition Committee made, as a priority, the purchase of work by culturally diverse artists and to that end acquired two works on paper by Pakistani- born Tazeen Qayyum and a sculpture by India-born artist Sarindar Dhaliwal. The collection travelled beyond Oshawa in various exhibitions throughout 2015. Emily Carr’s Wood Interior was included in From Forest to Sea: Emily Carr in British Columbia, while Mount Cheops from Rogers Pass by William Brymner was in Picturing the Americas which is travelling to Arizona and Brazil. Both exhibitions were organized and shown at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Torso and Plants by Pegi Nicol MacLeod was included in The Artist Herself, jointly organized by the Agnes Etherington Art Centre and the Art Gallery of Hamilton and shown in both Kingston and Hamilton, while the painting Sulpician Seminary by Sarah Robertson was part of the important travelling exhibition 1920 Modernism in Montreal: The Beaver Hall Group organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Art. The exhibition year began with Running on Empty, curated by Heather Nicol and included the work of seven contemporary artists who relate their work to car culture. The retrospective Jock Macdonald: Evolving Form was the other important winter offering that introduced new research about this important Canadian modernist and Painters Eleven member. Lora Moore-Kakaletris was the recipient of the Emerging Photography Award at the fall, 2014 RMG Exposed event and her solo exhibition of black and white photographs focused on what lies beneath water. Three spring/summer exhibitions, Puppet Act: Manipulating the Voice, Boxing: The Sweet Science and David Rokeby: Very Nervous System showcased the work of contemporary and historic Canadian artists through video, painting, installation, sculpture and photography. Visitors view a work by Ray Mead at RMG Fridays. Photo by Mat Calverley. With the assistance of an Ontario Arts Council Culturally Diverse Curatorial Project grant, the RMG engaged emerging curator Ambereen Siddiqui. The resulting exhibition, Beyond Measure: Domesticating Distance, a collaboration with SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre), examined the “voids and brims of living in a diaspora” in the work of five artists from South Asia. “ I love wandering in to see what’s new. Regional artists continue to play an important part in the RMG’s exhibition programming.

  • THE COLLECTION Permanent Collections Are Complex, Amazing, and Very Weighted Things
    THE COLLECTION Permanent collections are complex, amazing, and very weighted things. The ways they are formed, presented, and interpreted all speak of choices—choices made one hundred years ago and yesterday. These choices express who we are, and crucially, who we want to be. The Art Gallery of Hamilton is proud of its collection, while at the same time recognizing that there is still work to be done in accounting for the biases, omissions, and—yes—idiosyncrasies of our holdings. Although we aim to have old favourites out on the floor as much as possible, we also have a responsibility to bring lesser-known work to public consideration. Given the challenges of properly balancing these concerns, and knowing that for practical reasons only a small percentage of the collection can be out of the vaults at any given time, what kind of choices inform how we present the collection? This selection is founded on an internal conversation among staff members aimed at demonstrating and testing the dexterity of our holdings. This conversation repeatedly returned to a set of central questions: How does the collection articulate an identity for the Hamilton region as well as for Canada? How can it reflect the shifting perspective of a single artist over time, as well as illustrate the shifting perspectives of many artists tackling a common subject, be it abstraction, landscape, or representation? Who do we see represented? And perhaps most importantly, who is not here? These questions, while directed, are fluid and organic; they change and shift over time and should reflect the times we live in and the things we are talking about as a society.

  • Prudence Heward (1896-1947)
    « Prudence Heward (1896-1947) Par Sophie Doucet rudence Heward est une figure importante de l’avant-garde artistique montréalaise, durant les décennies 1920, 1930 et 1940. Spécialiste des portraits féminins, elle a peint, avec sa palette contrastée, une diversité de personnages forts appartenant aux sociétés urbaine et rurale de l’entre-deux-guerres. Tombée dans l’oubli dans l’après-guerre, elle est redécouverte par des historiennes de l’art dans les années 1970. Son œuvre amène aujourd’hui des questionnements P sur le genre et sur les rapports de « races » et de classes dans l’art. Née le 2 juillet 1896 à Montréal, Prudence Heward est la sixième des huit enfants de Sarah Efa Jones et d’Arthur R. G. Heward, assistant-secrétaire du Chemin de fer Canadien Pacifique. La famille, à l’aise financièrement et férue d’arts, habite Montréali et passe ses étés dans la campagne de Fernbank en Ontario. Enfant chétive, souffrant de crises d’asthme et aimant dessiner, Prudence Heward commence des leçons de peinture à l’âge de 12 ans à l’Art Association of Montreal, aujourd’hui le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal. L’année de ses 16 ans est marquée par les décès successifs de son père et de deux de ses sœurs. Deux ans plus tard, la Première Guerre mondiale éclate et elle part travailler en Europe pour la Croix- Rouge avec sa mère, alors que deux de ses frères se sont enrôlés. Durant cette période, elle se dit « incapable de Crédit inconnu, Domaine public, Wikipedia Commons continuer à peindre », mais elle visite de nombreuses galeries d’artii.

These activities were prepared with Laura Briscoe & Jeni Van Kesteren of Art of Math Education. Jock Macdonald (1897–1960) was one of the most radical artists in Canada in the mid-twentieth century. In the 1930s he began experimenting with abstraction, a quest that led him to many different disciplines. As author Joyce Zemans has noted, he was “guided by the most current discussions of art and aesthetics and of mathematical and scientific theories.” In the spirit of Macdonald’s works, the activities in this guide connect visual arts and mathematics. This connection will make Macdonald’s art more engaging for students and inspire a creative, personalized approach to understanding mathematical concepts of circles.

  • Kiyooka, Japanese Canadian Redress, Financial and Administrative Records, and Collected Publications and Works by Others
    Roy Kiyooka Fonds In Special Collections Simon Fraser University Library Finding aid prepared by Shaunna Moore, April 2005 32. Roy Kiyooka fonds 1930-1997, predominant 1970-1990 4.5 m of textual records and other material Biographical Sketch: Roy Kiyooka was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1926. Of Japanese-Canadian descent, his family’s internment during World War II had a profound impact on the nature of Kiyooka’s life, and his work as an artist, poet and teacher. Growing up in Calgary, Kiyooka studied at the Alberta College of Art in the 1940s, and at the Institutio Allende in Mexico in 1955. He also attended the Artists’ Workshops at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan during the summers between 1956 and 1960 to work under two American leading abstract artists: Will Barnet and Barnett Newman. When he arrived in Vancouver in 1959, Kiyooka was already one of Canada’s most respected abstract painters. He became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1965, and represented Canada at the Sao Paulo Biennial in Brazil, where he was awarded a silver medal. In 1967 his work was exhibited at Expo in Montreal and in every major centennial show across Canada. The Canadian government commissioned Kiyooka to do a sculpture for the 1970 Expo in Osaka, Japan. Kiyooka taught in Halifax at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, and in 1973, he was hired as an instructor of painting at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Fine Arts. During this period, his work turned increasingly away from painting to other forms of visual and performing arts, and to writing.

  • Toronto Improvisation, Abstract Expressionism, and the Artists' Jazz
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol. 11, Nos. 1-2 “We Can Draw!”: Toronto Improvisation, Abstract Expressionism, and the Artists’ Jazz Band David Neil Lee The improvised performance practice that came to be known as “free jazz” burst into prominence around 1960, and soon proved itself a genre extremely permeable to influences from other artistic disciplines. It was, as John Szwed writes, “. played by musicians who often seemed to have completely escaped the jazz recruitment process. They were classically trained virtuosos and musical illiterates, intellectuals and street rebels, and highbrows disguised as primitives” (Szwed 236). Ted Gioia calls the first free jazz musicians “. almost all outsiders . an outgrowth of the bohemians and ‘angry young men’ of the 1950s” (Gioia 311). To make the members of this new movement even harder to pigeonhole, George E. Lewis points out that the new music’s emergence “was a multiregional, multigenre, multiracial, and international affair” (Lewis 40). If there was any consistency among these varied practitioners, it lay in their identification—imposed either by themselves or by their circumstances—as, in Gioia’s terminology, “outsiders,” and in their adoption of the music, what Lewis describes as “a symbolic challenge to traditional authority” (40). Over the previous two decades, abstract expressionist art had been evolving a similar language of resistance, positioning itself as a symbolic challenge to authority. It also polarized opinions in the visual art world just as free improvisation would do in the jazz world. Serge Guilbaut, for instance, writes that Jackson Pollock’s work was seen as “. ‘unpredictable, undisciplined, explosive’ .

  • Building Stories Volume 2 from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection
    Building Stories Volume 2 From the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection Interpretive Guide James Nicoll, Home of Paint, n.d. Oil, ink on canvas board. 17 x 14 inches Courtesy the AFA Collection Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program Building Stories Volume 2 Curated by Todd Schaber The exhibit, Building Stories: Volume 2, draws attention to the buildings that surround us and how the structures are a visual storytelling of Alberta’s past. The paintings, chosen from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts’ permanent collection, present fifteen Alberta artists whose work depict the buildings from their own personal stories and observations. Building Stories includes a range of building types and they bring the viewer from farm buildings, like in Gertrude Fleming’s scene of a warm afternoon in Meadow’s Ranch, Fairmont, BC, to a city scene on a chilly, winter day in Randy Hayashi’s January on Jasper Avenue. The other artists in the exhibit include Roy Kiyooka, James Nicoll, Daphne Stankievech, Evelyn McBryan, Euphemia McNaught, Earl Cummins, Margaret Shelton, Patrick Douglass Cox, Neil Patterson, O.N. Grandmaison, John Snow, Stanford Perrott, and Gordon Harper. The featured buildings are family homes in quiet neighbourhoods; buildings that shelter, comfort, and foster life. There are buildings that have long been forgotten and are rundown, like in Stanford Perrott’s Sander’s Machine Shed. The homes, office towers, farmhouses, churches, barns and grain elevators in Building Stories contain a multitude of narratives because the buildings in the exhibit not only carry the original story of the artist, but also what the viewer imagines.
