Upcoming Exhibition

CLEAR CUT a three persons Exhibition

Nadine Bariteau, Regan Golden, Letha Wilson.

Though landscape photography has a varied and rich history, the exhibition Clear Cut at Gallery 44 proves that there is room for innovation within this venerated tradition. Artists Letha Wilson, Regan Golden and Nadine Bariteau represent a new, exciting school of artists engaging landscape, who are applying a tactile, sculptural approach to their practice with the aim of both reasserting the artist’s hand in the digital age and bringing attention to environmental issues. These artists, in particular, punch, cut, perform and sculpt their way forward to bring us original critiques on our culture of consumerism.

I will be presenting a single-channel video entitled CROWN (28 minutes) following the journey of an oversized six-pack of water bottles from purchase to disposal.

January 11, 2013 - February 16, 2013

Opening Reception on Friday January 11, 6 to 9pm

Immersion Emergencies and Possible Worlds

 This is an Artist research group on the theme of water and the contemporary arts that I'm part of. In the present socio-cultural moment, water is increasingly the subject of discussion and contestation in public discourse. Our project uses research and practice in visual art to address the subject of water regarding its cultural and environmental importance, by linking the historical art practice of picturing nature with the potential of visual representation to offer opportunities for aesthetic and socio-cultural engagement.

It is a goal of the project to bring together Canadian and international artists/researchers from multiple backgrounds to highlight a multitude of linked concerns of those individuals and their work.

Print media is often characterized by a material emphasis on sub

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.

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.

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.
