July 15, 2009 – September 11, 2009 Some Kind of Wonderful: The 4th KW|AG Biennial David Blatherwick, Josh Cleminson, Patricia Deadman, Susan Dobson, Scott Everingham, Ann Marie Hadcock, Shane Krepakavich, Gareth Lichty, Eileen MacArthur, Janet Morton, and Ehryn Torrell. Curated by Nancy Campbell. Presented in co-operation with the Kitchener- Waterloo Society of Artists This celebration of our region’s artists alluded to the idea that there can be many kinds of wonderful. Wonder can refer to a sublime, awe-inspiring quality of beauty, and it can refer to an active inquiry. From woven garden hose, to fibre bonfires, to a recreation of a chapel floor from memory, the works in this exhibition challenged pre-conceived notions of materiality and presentation, while asking us to reinvent what and how we see. Claude Tousignant: In Perpetuity This intimately scaled exhibition featured four works by Tousignant from KW|AG’s own collection. Identifiable for his strategic use of hard edge processes and minimalist elegance, Tousignant’s experiments with colour and shape eschew spontaneity in favour of geometric precision. His recognizable “target” or “gong” paintings of concentric rings on circular canvases, later followed by his monochromes, are among the most dynamic and persistent images in modern Canadian art. 12
