Therese Bolliger: Four Echoes 5 December 2009 - 28 February 2010 Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens This exhibition brings together a selection of recent drawings and sculptures by Toronto artist Therese Bolliger. Occupying the four gallery spaces, Four Echoes is an exploration of the essence of form, as Bolliger articulates memory’s place between past and present, translates mathematical and philosophical constructs into objects, and explores the outer reaches of the body. Curated by Shannon Anderson. Therese Bolliger, Interior Schema 5, 2009

Wendy Coburn, Untititled (buck), 2007 Uneasy Pieces 5 December 2009 - 28 February 2010 Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square Fretfulness, anxiety and apprehension are hardly new concerns in contemporary art, but they are quickly gaining currency in light of present global woes. Uneasy Pieces will showcase works from Oakville Galleries’ permanent collection that grapple with the fragile state of our world. From anxiety about economic recession, military warfare and global warming to concerns about consumerism, surveillance and the decentered world of global capitalism, the works in Uneasy Pieces examine states of uncertainty and unease in contemporary life. Curated by Marnie Fleming. Featuring works by Ed Burtynsky, Wendy Coburn, Colin Darke, Susanna Heller, Deirdre Logue, Ken Lum, Liz Magor, Kim Moodie, Monika Napier, Louise Noguchi, Ed Pien, Glenn Rudolph and John Scott.
