An update to the July 2011 post, Beyond Campus with the Curator…

In 2011 McMaster Museum of Art’s Senior Curator Ihor Holubizky was involved in a number of significant exhibitions off campus. With Mark Cheetham, he co-curated the exhibition Jack Chambers: the light from the darkness, silver paintings and film work, which was shown at Museum London and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection (where you can see it until January 15, 2012).

In addition to great accolades from art reviewers and the public, the exhibition received the 2011 Exhibition of the Year Award from the Ontario Association of Art Galleries for curatorial and design work. It was also included in recent ‘2011 must see exhibition lists,” from the Toronto Star (Installations that Got it Right) and Canadian Art Magazine (Top Three) in December!

With Darrin Martens, Ihor also curated another stunning exhibition, Chronicles of Form and Place: Works on Paper by Takao Tanabe. This retrospective exhibition is on view at the Burnaby Art Gallery until January 22, 2012 and will be coming to McMaster this autumn. Can’t wait!
