Fall Out
14 September - 13 December 2009

Blackwood Gallery presents Fall Out, with artists Robyn Cumming, Simone Jones, Erika Kierulf, Zilvinas Kempinas, Kristiina Lahde, Paul Litherland, Valerian Maly, Tom Sherman, and Don Simmons. An exhibition where to be bound by gravity will be considered, diverted, inverted. Some work will defy gravity, others will simultaneously defy and confirm its pull. Fall Out will also be a study of outcomes, epiphanies and consequences. It will be an examination of remnants and how they act as triggers in perennial permutation—in other words, Fall Out will dwell on a fall out that never settles. Curated by Christof Migone.


ART GALLERY of MISSISSAUGA
Bus arrives at 1:15 pm for a tour of the exhibitions.

Chris Barr: Bureau of Workplace Interruptions
Markings: Prints and Drawings from the Permanent Collection
17 September - 1 November

The Art Gallery of Mississauga (AGM) will be hosting Chris Barr: Bureau of Workplace Interruptions and Markings: Prints and Drawings from the Permanent Collection. Barr’s Bureau aims to challenge our relationship to time and efficiency by harnessing interruptive technologies to expose the secret possibilities of the workday. The selection of works in Markings: Prints and Drawings from the Permanent Collection explores the varied and unique methods of drawing, printmaking, and mark-making which have found a home at the AGM. With no thematic constraints in terms of subject, the exhibition is an investigation into how the formal visual languages of line, plane, shape, texture, colour, and composition can combine in innumerable ways to create meaning.


OAKVILLE GALLERIES at Centennial Square
Bus arrives at 2:45 pm for the exhibition opening and tour by Bertrand Carrière.

Bertrand Carrière: Caux
19 September - 22 November

Bertrand Carrière's Caux captures muted aspects of a turbulent history along the Normandy Coast, particularly the beach at Dieppe in 1944, where many Canadian soldiers fell in the Dieppe Raid. His photographs uncover the ruins of the strange legacy left behind in the landscape, where cliffs rise up in an impenetrable fortress of harsh and arid beauty. Curated by Marnie Fleming.


OAKVILLE GALLERIES in Gairloch Gardens
Bus arrives at 3:45 pm for the exhibition opening and tour by Peter MacCallum.

Peter MacCallum: Vimy Ridge, 2005-2008
19 September - 22 November

Peter MacCallum is a painstaking researcher, a historian with a camera. Three trips to the site of Vimy Ridge saw the artist scrutinize the contemporary remains of the 1917 battlegrounds, cemeteries and the restoration of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. The resulting images invite dialogue between past and present, between imagination and a distant reality. Curated by Marnie Fleming.

This event is part of Hometown Stories: Oakville Memories of War (www.hometownstories.ca) and has been made possible through the generous support of Veterans Affairs Canada and the Oakville Community Foundation.
