JANICE KERBELSingularly Significant series
September 18, 2009 - January 23, 2010
Opening Reception: Fri, Sept 18, 2009, 5 - 7 p.m.
In concert with CAFKA, Contemporary Art Forum | Kitchener & Area
The Singularly Significant series features concise projects by artists marking significant developments in contemporary art practice. The series is designed to provide visitors with a glimpse of otherwise expansive endeavours.
KW|AG is pleased to present UK-based Canadian artist Janice Kerbel as a complement to CAFKA's 2009 theme of Veracity. Kerbel's practice often employs the framework of a 'plan' and the rigorous application of existing systems to explore and illuminate the relationship between reality and the realm of the imaginary. Kerbel's exhibition at KW|AG includes Remarkable, a series of prints reminiscent of fairground posters that announce the spectacular feats of improbable beings. Also included is Underwood, a series of four fictional love letters, one for each season, rendered in a typeface designed to mimic a faulty typewriter. Using text and the subtleties of reproduction, Kerbel leaves the viewer to imagine a visual equivalent of hyperbole and promise.
