Adam Matak
Signs of Culture: Canadian Contemporary Surrogates
May 8–June 13, 2009

Two-person exhibition with Phil Delisle.

In Adam Matak’s salon-style painting installation Signs of Culture: Canadian Contemporary Surrogates, the artist creates new meaning through depictions of Canadian contemporary sculpture through “ghosting” its original imagery.

There are similarities that run through both Delisle and Matak’s aesthetic and cultural positioning of the artist and as educators of contemporary art and customs.

This two-person painting exhibition will provide opportunities for the public to experience new developments in contemporary Canadian painting as well as an “inside view” of contemporary art and cultural practices.
