Certified Quality Snapshots:
Works by Anonymous 20th Century Photographers.
Curated by Catherine Lash and Jennifer Long
May 2 - June 3, 2000 (Part of CONTACT 2000)
Since 1888 when Kodak launched the slogan, "You push the
button - we do the rest", the world has fallen in love with
the snapshot. For the past year and a half, Catherine Lash
and Jennifer Long have been collecting tiny relics of daily
life in the form of 20th century anonymous photographs.
These small windows into the lives of everyday people are
not only beautiful objects, but an important part of our
history. Jennifer and Catherine share some examples what
they describe as "the most important piece of art existing
in every household, the snapshot."

Paintings and Drawings, October 11 - November 11, 2000
The 12 paintings and 21 drawings in this show have not been
exhibited previously. "My paintings are about colour, its
energy and activity, its interaction and interdependence. My
drawings are about the elements that constitute the work:
line, direction, shape and surface. My work is
‘abstract’ or non-objective, and it is rigorously
planar."
Katja Jacobs: A Drawing
Work-in-progress
November 14- December 9, 2000
For two weeks (Nov. 14-25), during daylight hours, Toronto
artist Katja Jacobs will be present in the gallery
creating the installation. Jacobs will execute a drawing in
graphite directly on a gallery wall and assemble a temporary
collage of two- and three-dimensional materials. Viewers are
welcome to visit Jacobs and interact with the evolution of
this work.
For the second two weeks (Nov. 28-Dec. 9), the finished
works will be on display. Jacobs: "The imagery would evolve
during the making. Season, light, the physical aspects of
the place, interaction with viewers, the various ways in
which the space is being used would all be part of the
project. I think of my installations as a kind of visual
theatre."
Christopher Pinheiro: Installation, December 13 - 22,
2000
An installation by the world-renowned designer, Christopher
Pinheiro, known for his large-scale spectales, featuring
batik and tie-dyed fabric installations and costuming. The
installation in the gallery is part of a dance event in
Artword Theatre (December 13-16) by Ronald Taylor's
Canboulay Dance Theatre, In the Depths of My
Palais, based on the African Caribbean tradition of
the "palais", a ritual place for celebrations.
