A two-part group exhibit will be presented featuring the work of up to twenty past solo or two-person exhibition artists, revisiting (where possible) one artist per year from the past twenty years of programming. Presented in two consecutive parts, each will feature ten artists grouped within a non-chronological cluster according to the themes of their work.
Each selected artist has been invited to submit a representative work from their output from any time after their exhibition at Artcite Inc., and every artist chosen has an impressive personal exhibition record, having aggressively pursued opportunities all across Canada in order to make careers for themselves on the national circuit.
This major exhibition will document important works from a national perspective, tied neatly into our timeline of historical choices, and is a way of revisiting our past in a truly abstracted way. It will also focus on the unique role Artcite Inc. has maintained as a gallery existing within a specific geographic locale yet with a strong national Canadian and often international focus. It will reaffirm Artcite’s presence within the community as a centre for creative research and development, presenting a diversity of artists working within the unique framework of the Canadian artist-run system.
