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.

It is informed by the writings of George Steiner, who advanced a typology of difficult forms in poetry. The major works of Jack Chambers (The Hart of London), Michael Snow (La Region Centrale), and Joyce Wieland (Reason Over Passion) illustrate the ways in which a poetic vanguard in cinema is anchored in an aesthetic of difficulty.

    Highway Wherever: on Jack Chambers's 401 Towards London No.1

    MATTHEW RYAN SMITH Highway Wherever: On Jack Chambers’s 401 Towards London No.1 ≈ The story behind Jack Chambers's painting 1 01 Towards London No. 1 (1968-69) is something like this: Chambers left London, Ontario for a meeting in Toronto. As he drove over the Exit 232 overpass near Woodstock, he glanced in his rear-view mirror and was struck by what he sa w behind him. He returned later that night and the next morning with a camera to photograph the area. The result is an archive of images taken above and around a banal overpass in Southwestern Ontario, later used as source material for one of Canada's most important landscape paintings. Chambers was born in l 93 l in London, Ontario, the gritty and spra wling half way point between Detroit/Windsor and Toronto. Inthe late 1950s and 1960s, Chambers and other local artists-including John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, Murray Favro, Bev Kelly, Ron Martin, David Rabinowitch, Royden Rabinovwitch, Walter Redinger, Tony Urquhart, and Ed Zclcnak-centralizcd the city of London in their artistic and social activities. As the 60s drew to a close, art historian Barry Lord wrote in Art in America that London was fast becoming "the most important art centre in Canada and a model for artists working elsewhere" and "the site of 'Canada's first regional liberation front."' In effect, the London Regionalism movement, as it became known, dismissed the stereotype that the local was trivial, which lent serious value to the fortunate moment where the artists found themselves: together in London making art about making art in London.

    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism

    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

The Hard-Edge painters, Guido Molinari, Claude Tousignant and Yves Gaucher undertook a new medium to express their new way of seeing and encountering the world and they did so in a way that was unique from other contemporaneous abstract painters.
