Print media is often characterized by a material emphasis on
subtraction and addition. As a dug hole is mirrored by the mound of
dirt it unearths, any removal of material from the surface of a print
matrix implies an accumulation elsewhere. What meaning can be found
in those liminal spaces between minus and plus?
Works in PINK PEARL move past surface engagements with etched plates,
burned screens, grained stones, carved wood and cut paper to explore
the concepts of erasure and transcendence. Using print as a primary
strategy, artists in PINK PEARL create 2-dimensional works on paper,
artist books, material arts, sculpture, and animation.

Gallery Two

Nadine Bariteau
Supermarket

Developing out of an initial body of work titled Consecrated Multitude, a glorified six-pack of larger-than-life plastic water bottles, Supermarket combines the original sculpture with a performance captured on high-definition video featuring the artist pushing her enormous water bottles through urban and rural landscapes in a shopping cart. Supermarket is a wry comment on consumerism, recycling and our growing awareness of water as a precious resource.

The artist acknowledges the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council.

Nadine Bariteau completed her Masters of Fine Arts at York University and her Bachelor in Studio Art at Concordia University. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, Australia and Russia. Her work has recently been exhibited at the Anna Leonowens Gallery, Halifax; Art Gallery of Windsor, Windsor; The Print Studio, Hamilton; International Print Center, New York; Open Studio Gallery, Toronto; Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario, Sudbury; and the Yukon Arts Centre, Whitehorse. She was the recipient of the 2009 Donald O’Born Family Scholarship at Open Studio in Toronto and has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council. www.nadinebariteau.com

Gallery One
Julian Montague
Secondary Occupants/Collected & Observed

Following on the heels of his project and publication The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification, the Buffalo based artist’s new project Secondary Occupants/Collected & Observed investigates the symbiotic relationship between homeowners and the unseen occupants that inhabit their households; namely birds, insects and rodents. Set against a backdrop of accumulated graphics, questionable support material and photo-documentation, Montague’s diagrammatic installation blurs the lines between taxonomy, graphic design and fiction.

In conjunction with the Fine Arts Speaker Series, Julian Montague will present an artist talk on Wednesday, November 9 at 1:00 pm in East Campus Hall Room 1219.

Julian Montague is best known for his long term project dedicated to developing a system of classification for stray shopping carts which was published in 2006 as The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification (Abrams). He has exhibited widely in the United States at Art in General, New York; Black & White Gallery, New York; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach; and Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City. His work has received media attention from Art in America, The Journal of Postmodern Culture, New York Magazine, The New York Times, and BBC World Service, and is in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Martin Z. Margulies and The Progressive Insurance Company. The artist lives in Buffalo, New York. Julian Montague is represented by Black & White Gallery, Brooklyn. www.montagueprojects.com

Please join us for these thought-provoking exhibitions.
The artists will be present at the opening reception.

This exciting project will be showcased at Impact 7, an International Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking Conference held bi-annually in different countries throughout the world. In 2011, Impact is being held in Melbourne, Australia at Monash University. Miner for a Heart was selected through a highly competitive proposal process as one of the feature exhibitions for this global conference.
The curatorial premise of this exhibition is that each of these artists migrated to Toronto from other countries, other provinces or small towns in Ontario. The exhibited work foregrounds their relationship with the city and their negotiations between the personal and political. It crosses disciplines to incorporate printmaking into sculpture, drawing, video and installation.

To accompany this exhibition a catalogue has been published and will be launched at Open Studio in Toronto, in November.
This project is a curatorial initiative of the Membership Committee of Open Studio.
