Exhibitions:

From January 22–April 4, 2010

Marie Lannoo: Through and Through and Through
One of Canada’s best-known abstract painters works with beam line scientists from the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron to create colourful reflective installations and paintings. Using a new material that increases the dimensional capabilities of reflected colour, Lannoo’s paintings often “spill” beyond the frame onto to the wall or nearby environment.

Sugar Bombs: Diyan Achjadi and Brendan Tang
Rockets boom and robots twist in this explosive new exhibition featuring two talented young artists from British Columbia, Diyan Achjadi and Brendan Tang. Organized by freelance curator Kristen Lambertson, this travelling exhibition is rooted in a neo-pop aesthetic. Taking visual cues from toys, cartoons, and manga, the exhibition touches on geopolitics, war, and military culture.

Ed Pien: Haven of Delight
Pien’s new series explores the phantasmagorical, imaginary world of different culture’s tales and myths. Pien creates landscapes peopled with strange characters by making cuts in large strips of hand-tinted paper, recalling the ancient Chinese art of paper cuts. The birds, bats and half-human–half-animal figures that adorn its foliage appear as silhouettes perched in the tree branches, which form the shape of a haven in a magical forest.

Permanent Collection: Getting There
Linda Sawchyn guest curates an exhibition of works from the Mendel’s Permanent Collection about roads, pathways, and journeys. Getting There includes a selection of photographs, prints, water colours, paintings, and other works by James Davies, Robert Hurley, Doris Wall Larson, Orest Semchisen, Leslie Saunders, Hilda Stewart and others.
