  • DAVEANDJENN Whenever It Hurts
    DAVEANDJENN Whenever It Hurts January 19 - February 23, 2019 Opening: Saturday January 19, 3 - 6 pm artists in attendance detail: “Play Bow” In association with TrépanierBaer Gallery, photos by: M.N. 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 artworks within this guide and the images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Bertram Brooker Image File provided. Throughout his career Bertram Brooker (1888–1955) looked to capture the ephemeral and magical qualities of music in his paintings. Several of his works explore specific pieces of music or attempt to convey an experience of sound on the canvas. In this guide the art of Brooker is used to explore musical forms, terminology, and structure, and it guides students in activities that allow them to find connections between visual art and music and to build an understanding and appreciation of both disciplines. Curriculum Connections Grades 2–12 Music Grades 2–12 Visual Arts Grades 11–12 Composition and Production Themes Composition The elements of music Sound paintings Soundscapes Visual interpretations Teaching Exercises The exercises in this guide invite students to explore connections between visual art and music.

  • Margaret Atwood: a Canadian Novelist
    Margaret Atwood: A Canadian Novelist Introduction Contents Margaret Atwood is a name nearly all Canadians know, and now that she has finally won the prestigious Booker Prize her already considerable international Introduction reputation is greatly enhanced. Canadians, however, are often criticized for not celebrating our cultural icons, whether it be from a collective sense of modesty or The Range of The Blind uncertainty as to the elusive Canadian identity. Be that as it may, we do recognize Assassin Margaret Atwood as one of our greatest writers, and this international win for her latest novel, The Blind Assassin, certainly gives us reason to reappraise her Not Just A Novelist considerable contribution to that genre of literature referred to as CanLit. The Booker Prize-considered one of the world's most important literary awards-is given each year to what is judged the best original full-length novel written by a citizen of Subjectivity, Literature, the British Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland. Atwood's novels have been and The Blind Assassin nominated for the Booker three times, and now The Blind Assassin takes its place among the very best literary works of fiction in the world. As Canadians, we have Themes of Margaret good reason to recognize and validate the talent and achievements of our artists, Atwood and we do so. "Canadian content" is a standard qualifier and indicator of success for us, whether in the form of a Jim Carrey movie, the music of Céline Dion, or the Portraying Women's Lives comedy of John Candy or Dan Ackroyd.

  • European Ways of Talking About the Art of Northwest Coast First Nations
    EUROPEAN WAYS OF TALKING ABOUT THE ART OF THE NORTHWEST COAST FIRST NATIONS F. Graeme Chalmers Department of Curriculum Studies Faculty of Education University of British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, V6T 1Z4 Abstract / Resume The ways in which we, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people alike, view the Aboriginal art of the Northwest Coast, have been profoundly affected by European accounts of the art. For a long time Northwest Coast art was compared to European art and treated as a quaint variant of “real” art. In recent decades we have begun to view this work as art by itself, that is art which is inherently valuable. Les façons dont nous, les autochtones et les allogènes aussi, voyons l'art autochtone de la côte nord-ouest ont été profondément influencées par les exposés européens sur l'art. On compare, depuis longtemps, l'art de la côte nord-ouest avec l'art européen et considère le premier comme une variante bizarre du “vrai” art. Au cours des dernières décennies, on a commencé à considérer ce travail comme un art en soi, c'est-à-dire comme un art qui est de grande valeur profonde. 114 Graeme Chalmers In his book, Textual Spaces: Aboriginality and Cultural Studies, the Australian Stephen Muecke argued that European ways of talking about Aboriginal people limit ways of knowing what Aborigines might be (1992:20). Canadian and international views, as well as the understandings of Aboriginal peoples themselves, of First Nations art on the Northwest Pacific Coast have been profoundly and similarly colored by value-laden European accounts and definitions.

Although in agreement that Canada desperately required its own culture, the Canadian artistic community was divided on what Canadian culture ought to be- For the majority of Canadian painters, wrïters, critics and readers, the fbture of the Canadian arts, especially poetry and painting, lay in Canada's past.

  • The Military Artist and the Documentary Art Record
    The Military Artist and the Documentary Art Record by JIM BURANT As a prize in the era of European expansionism, Canada has been occupied at one time or another by the armed forces of France, Britain, and on the Pacific coast, Spain, as well as by the United States of America. Military forces also acted in various non-combatant roles, such as the exploration of new territories, the surveying of lands and waterways, the planning and construction of transportation routes, the establishing of settlements, or simply the provision of garrisons to protect economic interests or to further diplomatic initiatives. Finally, there has been military activity involving travel, either for private pleasure or for purposes of espionage. All of these military experiences have resulted in the creation of both public and private records: reports, letters, diaries, and memoranda; manuscript and published maps and plans of architectural and engineering projects; and works of documentary art such as watercolours, paintings, sketches, and printed images of landscapes, cities, and genre scenes. A portrait, a view of a city, a depiction of a battle, or a record of an artifact in some visual form, are all types of documentary art records: easily understood visual documents in which the subject matter is readily identified by the viewer, regardless of the form of the documents, or the type of subject matter. A "military artist" is a person enlisted in a nation's army or navy who has been trained to create visual documents, either before entry into the armed forces, or through formal training in a military academy or an apprenticeship.
