KEYNOTE ADDRESS & ARTIST’S TALK:
Work and Play: A Web Experimentation
6 May, 2010
EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION:
6 May, 2010
New and recent photoworks by Angela Grauerholz are presented in conjunction with the John Douglas Taylor Conference, The Archive and Everyday Life at McMaster University, May 6-8. The artist, who is also the Director of the Centre of Design, L’Universite de Quebec a Montreal (UQAM) and Winner of the Prix Borduas in 2006, is one of the conference keynote speakers.
The conference brings together academics, advocates, artists, and other cultural workers to examine the intersecting fields of archive and everyday life theory. The objective of everyday life theory, as another keynote speaker Dr. Ben Highmore, University of Sussex, wrote, is to “rescue the everyday from conventional habits of the mind…to attempt to register the everyday in all its complexities and contradictions.”
Paulette Gagnon, director of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, wrote of Grauerholz, “Her work gives an impression of timelessness that is expressed in a paradoxical way through images that are commonplace but at the same time sublime and unexpected.
A complement to the Grauerholz exhibition and conference will be the installation of Alfredo Jaar’s “unseen” photographs and archive work Benjamin, 1993, and Marcel Duchamp’s La boîte en valise, both from the McMaster collection.
