</div><span style="color: black;">It has been my pleasure to get to know Emilie Grandmont-Bérubé in the past year, and as a gallerist, I concur with her philosophy:</span><br />
<br />
<i style="color: #444444;">"It’s the job of a gallery owner to find art that suits a potential buyer – even if the search leads to another establishment, says </i><span style="color: #444444;">Emilie Grandmont-Bérubé</span><i><span style="color: #444444;">, co-owner of </span><a href="http://www.galerietroispoints.qc.ca/" style="color: #990000;">Galerie Trois Points</a>."</i><br />
<br />
The article goes on to say:<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;"><i>"Next weekend the search will be considerably easier, as Papier 12 gathers 38 galleries representing more than 400 artists into one temporary structure at Bleury St. and de Maisonneuve Blvd., just off the northwest corner of Place des Festivals. </i></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: #444444; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><i>As the name suggests, Papier 12 features works on paper – usually the least expensive art you can buy. And Papier 12, which has no admission charge, is all about accessibility, added Grandmont-Bérubé, who is also treasurer of the organization behind the art fair, the Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC).</i></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><i style="color: #444444;">Six of Toronto’s best private art galleries have booths at Papier 12."</i><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">We are happy to be one of those six galleries from Toronto! I for one would very much enjoy seeing more cross-fertilization between the Toronto and Montreal art scenes. We had a wonderful experience last year showing <a href="http://kwtcontemporary.blogspot.ca/2011/09/lavoie-and-lafrance-nature-deficit.html" style="color: #990000;">Alexis Lavoie and David Lafrance</a>, and several of our artists have Montreal connections, either by birth, current or past residency, or via Concordia, McGill or UQAM. </div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Read more <a href="http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Papier+fair+showcases+affordable+artwork/6422250/story.html" style="color: #990000;">here </a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">and visit the <a href="http://www.papiermontreal.com/welcome-to-the-papier12-art-fair/" style="color: #990000;">Papier12 website</a></div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />
</div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">KWTcontemporary will be showing work by the following artists:</div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Sean Martindale, Lauren Nurse, Dagmara Genda, Moira Clark, Daryl Vocat, Liz Parkinson, Pearl Van Geest and David Lafrance. </div><div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />

What a joy it has been to have 2400 sq. ft and multiple levels at my disposal: so unusual for a gallery in the downtown core, and perfectly suited to programming double and triple solo shows with inter-related themes. Sad, but such is the ebb and flow of urban development. When Crate 'n' Barrel and Joe Fresh move in, you know that the days of the galleries are numbered.<br />
<br />
Moos Gallery will be leaving as well. Walter Moos has been in the business for 52 years, and on Richmond for 13 years. He's remarkable gentleman, and it's been an honour to be his neighbour.<br />
<br />
We'll be in Montreal in next week, with a booth at <a href="http://www.papiermontreal.com/welcome-to-the-papier12-art-fair/" style="color: #660000;">Papier 12</a>. I am looking forward to blogging from our rented apartment in Mile End!<div class="blogger-post-footer">KWT contemporary

"I use Boy Scout imagery to discuss behavioural norms, sexuality, and the construction of masculinity. These boys exist in the space between how they are expected to behave, and how they want to behave. They fumble through moral experiments while haphazardly staking out their own territory. These characters imitate the world, images and scenarios surrounding them."<br />

Fiona Crangle: "Be Prepared"</b></div><br />
"It was the overlapping iconography of "sainting" and "scouting" that initiated this body of work: hagiographic symbols litter the insignia, motifs and especially the badges of the world of scouts and guides. The trials and stages of each saint's quest towards ultimate goodness can be mapped out via an accumulation of scouting badges. The symbols that throughout art history have visually identified each saint - originally for an illiterate audience- are also found in the Catalogue of Scouting Honours. But the similarity does not stop at the symbolic; both these young female saints and Girl Guides are in pursuit of a goal of self betterment, moving toward an ideal vision/version of themselves through a series of challenges. And importantly, both groups are adolescents."<br />

Here's what Gil McElroy (March 20, 2012, <a href="http://www.akimbo.ca/akimblog/?id=518" style="color: #660000;">Akimblog</a>) has to say:<br />
<br />
"Over at the Art Gallery of Peterborough, they’ve just opened their Inaugural Triennial Exhibition, focusing on Peterborough-area artists. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that, of course, if this show is at all representative of what’s happening aesthetically in the area, a heck of a lot of artists are working two-dimensionally. There are a lot of paintings and drawings here. So, as a minority-report kind of person, I’ll focus on some of the things – that is, the objects – in the show, like <b>Brad Copping’s</b> work. You could call him a glass artist, but that doesn’t really do justice to what he’s up to. Copping has two works included here, one of which is a wall-mounted piece entitled Level Conversation. It’s by no means a recent work, but still good to see. Two clear drinking glasses affixed to the wall at slightly different heights are connected with one another by a long clear tube the sags down to the floor and is filled with water. There’s water in the glasses as well, more in the slightly lower one, but the top of which is even with the water in the slightly higher glass. It’s a level, of course, a version of a working tool elegantly and simply reimagined. Kudos."<div class="blogger-post-footer">KWT contemporary

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Artist Statement:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">"In art, the idea of human goodness is packaged and delivered to us as beauty. Saints, the definitive do-gooders, are rendered as exquisite creatures: glowingly beautiful, artfully posed, often adorned with arichness usually reserved for more worldly personas. During the Baroque period and especially in the hands of Zurbaran and Caravaggio, the paintings of these perfect young things mix desire with the desire to be good, creating a push/pull response in the viewer. Allowing light and dark to fight for space on the canvas reflects the conflicting nature of the viewer's response.<br />
<br />
It was the overlapping iconography of "sainting" and "scouting" that initiated this body of work: hagiographic symbols litter the insignia, motifs and especially the badges of the world of scouts and guides. The trials and stages of each saint's quest towards ultimate goodness can be mapped out via an accumulation of scouting badges. The symbols that throughout art history have visually identified each saint - originally for an illiterate audience- are also found in the Catalogue of Scouting Honours. But the similarity does not stop at the symbolic; both these young female saints and Girl Guides are in pursuit of a goal of self betterment, moving toward an ideal vision/version of themselves through a series of challenges. And importantly, both groups are adolescents.<br />
<br />
Adolescence is a short lived period of idealism. Physically, we are at our most ideal, like a young Greek kouros or kore, with lithe and supple bodies poised at the cusp of adulthood. Emotionally, this is a time of black and white belief systems, of unshakeable idealism. The saints depicted in <em>Be Prepared</em> have been chosen because at the root of their stories they are defiantly stubborn in a way that only a teenager can be. They have made choices that no amount of forceful persuasion can sway. Most often their stories involve rebuffing the advances of a man that responds to their physical desirability- the ideal beauty of adolescence enhanced by their innate goodness that polishes it to perfection. This holds true to images of adolescents today- their ripening beauty compels us to stare and in fact demands it. And yet the gaze that returns ours is aggressive and challenging, masking an uncertain reaction to the invitation to become a sexual being. The contemporary faces of the girls used for the blended Girl Guide- saints in <em>Be Prepared</em> are armoured with a modern belligerence.... Look, but don't touch."<br />

<br />
"Not Your typical Boy Scout" Xtra, Toronto, Friday, March 02, 2012<br />
<br />
<i>The exhibition’s title had less to do with the collection Vocat is presenting than his overarching experience of being an artist. Originally a reference to the process of lifelong learning through trial and error in Zen Buddhist practice, he found it an appropriate metaphor for his life’s work....</i><br />
<br />
“As an artist, you just keep putting stuff out there, trying to make sense of it and hoping it will resonate with other people,” the York University graduate says. “I think if I keep making mistakes and keep carrying on it’s a good thing. I don’t want to pretend I have all the answers about my work. There’s a vulnerability I like in the idea.”<br />
<br />
<i>As with past works, Vocat also makes liberal use of Boy Scout iconography. Often taken directly from the organization’s handbooks, his iconically scarf-necked patch-sleeved boys cavort as they challenge behavioural norms, sexuality and constructs of masculinity. A 12-year Scout veteran himself (that’s Beavers to Ventures for those in the know), much of Vocat’s time growing up was spent within the organization’s fold.</i>..<br />
<br />
“Once I was away from Scouting for a while I started to rethink what was taught,” he says. “I wanted to be critical of the more militaristic aspects of Scouting, but I am also appreciative of the better parts, like striving to be a good person, being generous and helping other people out.<br />
<br />
“Growing up is a pretty loaded and turbulent time, so it only makes sense it’s pretty rich with possibility for art,” he adds. “I remember looking at those Scout handbooks and how pure everyone was. That seemed miles away from my experiences of nearly lighting our leader’s tent on fire and running around in the woods all night in our underwear.”<br />

<br />
January 4 - February 11, 2012<br />
<br />
<b>Pearl Van Geest</b>'s exhibition <i>"INTO PLACE</i>" includes an interactive video projection and is linked to the Department of Philosophy at Wilfred Laurier University. Van Geest worked with Dr. Gary Foster and presented a lecture for his course, The Philosophy of Sex, Love and Friendship. "<i>INTO PLACE</i>" explores concepts surrounding the human relationship to the physical and natural world. Through this interactive piece Van Geest invites viewers to participate as collaborators in the creation of a large work that reflects ideas around love and desire and the potential consummation of this longing. <br />

The "C" Word is a group exhibition exploring the role of craft in contemporary art, through the work of eighteen Canadian artists. Suggesting that “craft” sometimes carries negative connotations, the exhibition celebrates the making of things, drawing attention to the continued presence of craft in the work of well-known contemporary artists.<br />
The artists selected for The "C" Word recognize that their production engages in craft—whether rejoicing in, re-framing, or battling against preconceived notions. Recognizing a diversity of approaches, the exhibition includes works in a range of media, including <b>Gord Peteran</b>’s furniture/sculpture hybrids, <b>Sheila Gregory</b>’s raucous paintings, <b>Jay Wilson</b>’s dollar-store-foam wall pieces, <b>Gerard Gauci</b>’s lush interior scenes, <b>Moira Clark</b>'s geo-abstraction and <b>Marianne Lovink</b>’s quirky organic forms. Central to the artists’ work is a love of the process, for the struggle of working with materials and transforming them into objects.<br />
The exhibition is accompanied by a series of video interviews, in which each of the artists speaks about the role that craft plays in their practice, and a publication featuring texts by <b>Shelley Adler</b>, <b>Richard Mongiat</b> and <b>Richard Rhodes</b>. Both the videos and texts will also be accessible on the DMG website, as part of The "C" Word<div class="blogger-post-footer">KWT contemporary

at <a href="http://www.neutralground.sk.ca/?page=home" style="color: #cc0000;">Neutral Ground Contemporary Art Forum</a> in Regina, Sask. She's installed an amazing vinyl wall drawing, and she writes to us:<br />
<br />
"The piece in Regina presented new problems in terms of install but we surpassed them. The premask was barely sticking to the vinyl because of the type of ink used. It was a beautiful rich satin finish but hard to work with. I'm attaching a few snapshots!<br />
<br />
Finished piece: 12 feet tall, about 3 feet on the floor and 20 feet wide. The piece is a tracing of a tracing of a tracing. It's an apartment block in Poland, the one I used to live in and where my aunt lives now, that I traced in ink onto a plastic-like material, cut that out, photographed it as a 3-D maquette, retraced it in illustrator, printed it and cut it out to be a two dimensional shadow of it's former self. It references it's flat 3-D state by the white lines cutting through the black that hint at peeling or bending."<br />

Here is curator John G Hampton's statement for "Unplanned Architectures" at Neutral Ground:<br />
<br />
"Within artistic production, architecture is a discussion about society and interactions, while within the discourses of capitalism, architecture is a commodity, whose production rises and falls according to periods of growth or recession. "Unplanned Architectures" looks at artists' representation of the architectural plan in our current state of global instability and uncertainty. During the great depression, there was a dramatic rise in "paper architects" (architects who focused on plans for buildings and cities that were never meant to actually be built). Similarly the great recession offers us the unique opportunity to rethink our place in this world; it is a time for architectural experimentation, to examine the philosophical implications of our constructed environments and our relationships with them.<br />
<br />
The "unplanned" here is multiple: it is the architectural cousin to capitalism or other unplanned economies (market architecture), it is the architecture of necessity that is borne from crises, it is the unforeseen forms that emerge from buildings as living systems (living architecture), it is the intuitive patching together of previous forms like the Frankensteinian advancement of Western civilization (automatic architecture). As the consequences of sprawl and deregulation become widely apparent, the architecture of our current system is readying to be uprooted, to be rebuilt yet while this market architecture is being dismantled, what will replace it is unknown. The artists in this exhibit use new media, sculpture and installation to provide insight into our current state of limbo. While we demolish the foundation on which we stand, they illustrate our fascination with the collapse, they illuminate our feelings of dread and excitement, they examine failings in analogous architectural shifts, while all along appreciating the beauty of the uncertain and emergent structures that rise from the natural movement of cities, buildings and culture."<div class="blogger-post-footer">KWT contemporary

Vaughan's review of the Wilson and Genda exhibitionsR.M. Vaughan<br />
Globe and Mail: Jan 28, 2012<br />
<br />
Dagmara Genda and Jay Wilson at KWT Contemporary:<br />
<br />
"Painter Dagmara Genda and sculptor Jay Wilson are an odd couple, or coupling.No sensible curator would put Genda’s mad, cacophonous paintings of worlds flooded in flesh-pink waves next to Wilson’s meticulous toothpick towers and laser-cut steel assemblages. But common sense is a bore.<br />
<br />
Genda is a part of a burgeoning school of painting I am dubbing the New Neo-Expressionists (okay, yes, that tag needs work). In such paintings, the strategy is to draw the viewer in via a whirlwind (or whirlpool) of kineticism, with bold flourishes of blended colours, and then hold the viewer tight with feverish daub-and-swipe brushwork juxtaposed against clusters of maniacally detailed illustration.<br />
<br />
Wilson, on the other hand, is about as open to accident as a heart surgeon. His works are so exquisitely crafted and make no gesture toward covering their labour-intensiveness, so that they make you a bit light-headed and cause the hands to tremble in a sympathetic attack of nerves.<br />
<br />
The connection between the two artists is thus one of point-counterpoint. Genda masks her labours with decoying, bold strokes. Wilson practically sits you down and makes the work with you.<br />
<br />
Pick your favourite style of high-wire act."<div class="blogger-post-footer">KWT contemporary

The work is at once obsessively detailed while being approachable in both colour and materialiality.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The toothpick works depict herds of elk with typographic declarations held high in their antlers that vaguely announce sentiments such as <i>Above All Else </i>and <i>Reckless Abandon</i>, spelled out with twigs and safety matches respectively. For me, these declarations are not only words to heed but also evocations of both optimism and hope in a non-hierachical battle of suggestion vs. meaning.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Contradictions abound in the exhibition. Hand-pencil-crayon-coloured toothpick elk pairs read <i>YesYes</i>, or <i>Try Less</i>, while assuming push-me-pull-you configurations. Ordinary toothpicks are re-envisioned as cast sterling silver toothpick structures; one a Tatlin-esque sketch, the other a facetted mountain. The pieces speak of a process that is both highly structured and the developmentally random.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Other works entitled <i>Patternpattern</i> are inclusive collisions of pattern and colour. A decade ago, I saved orange peels that I had peeled all in one piece, the results of which have been enlarged and laser cut in aluminum. Each silhouette is mapped with colourful sheets of craft foam. The resulting topographies resemble islands but more importantly to me, are simple, almost gestural declarations of two structures overlapping and informing one another." </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"> -Jay Wilson (January 2012)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Jay Wilson is an artist/educator from Toronto, Canada.

I explore these notions through tracing lines to make new territories, surfaces, definitions and objects. I'm interested in one line in particular, the historically problematic and shifting division between East and West. I make use of this blurry division by tracing Soviet architecture that bears an uncanny resemblance to American capitalist buildings. These structures, so pregnant with the promise of a better tomorrow in their time, are drawn together to form perversely patterned spaces that lack a centre of gravity.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Yesterday's future and how it might leave us wanting today, is a common idea in post-communist and Eastern European scholarship. A post-communist world is often described as a terrain of broken promises, nostalgia, competing narratives and instability. Increasingly this description applies to the so-called Western world. The global financial crisis, coupled with environmental crises and the persistence of war, has not only fuelled doubt in a system that was to mark the "end of history" but has brought up the question of what sort of system, what kind of tomorrow, awaits us?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Tracing Tomorrow tries to delineate, through a literal act of tracing, what the future might look like but not as a futuristic, identifiable territory. Instead it highlights the problem of producing a totalizing vision of a future space. This act of delineation is the main problem I wish to address in my drawings. To delineate is to define, to mark a territory or to create a space-how we do so is informed by a myriad of factors. My drawings are made from a complex system of tracing that starts from traced architecture and ends with traced paint strokes. Forms weave in and out of each other, mixing foreground and background, delineating features and dissolving into nothingness. The way we identify things is tentative, always hovering at the edge of non-existence. This formal aspect of the drawings is a way for me to find new ways of identifying what we see while also pointing our attention to the very contingency of our sightlines." </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"> -Dagmara Genda (January, 2012)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Dagmara Genda was born in 1981 in Koszalin, Poland, and now lives and works in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Fitting then, that with Jay Wilson and Dagmara Genda, the 2012 exhibition schedule at KWT contemporary opens with work that is so labour-intensive, so skilled, and frankly, so beautiful, that it makes my heart ache. Spinning straw into gold, each of these artists takes humble material as inspiration (paper and ink for Genda, and toothpicks and orange peels for Wilson), and through their skill and transformational vision, elevates the everyday to the extraordinary.<br />

If you saw our booth at The Toronto International Art Fair a couple of months ago, you'll no doubt have a vivid visual memory for Wilson's tall "stalagmite" or tower built of toothpicks, and Genda's remarkably detailed large scale drawing.

This new suite of paintings represents a visual synthesis of her experiences in the built urban environments of the old and new worlds of London and Toronto. While developing this body of work, D'Arcy immersed herself in Chopin's piano sonatas, which informed the rhythm, movement and colour sequences of the paintings themselves. The result is an exhibition of oils on canvas which is, in totality, cooly elegant, restrained, and yet vibrantly alive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Regarding her latest work, D'Arcy states: <i>"Chopin's Nocturnes are melancholic, elegiac demonstrations between form and mood. Counterpoint to create tension, a technique for Chopin, evokes my own tandem interests as a painter. As with the music, weaving through the compositional structure of the paintings are broken chords that animate the space around them. Many of the works in this exhibition begin from the formal structure of optical relations, or how subtle variations in color will strive to become as different from each other as possible when put side by side. The seemingly neutral ground in the work becomes the support, an animated space, an active context that holds and dissembles, conceals and reveals. These relationships, among the individual colours and in relation to the space that holds them, can foster mood or provoke emotional experience."</i></span><br />

Nicol is a multidisciplinary artist, whose practise includes hybrid audio sculptures, sound and light installations, and independent curating.<br />
<br />
