Pendant un mois, Matt Shane et Jim Holyoak transformeront articule en une installation de dessin immersive et interactive alliant les notions d'« atelier », de « maison » et de « lieu d'exposition ». Vivant, travaillant et dormant chez articule tout le temps que durera l'exposition, les artistes dessineront sur les murs couverts de papier.

Matt et Jim s'intéressent aux notions d'empiètement urbain, de frontières et de créatures étranges, qu'elles soient réelles ou imaginaires. Leur travail représente souvent la rencontre ou la frontière entre la nature et la civilisation pour aborder l'état de l'écologie terrestre.
L'objectif des artistes est de dessiner spontanément et de répondre à ce qui survient pendant que l'¦uvre se développe. Le public sera invité à flâner dans le paysage de dessins pour réagir et participer librement au processus. Les artistes mettront de l'encre et des matériaux à la disposition de tous ceux et celles qui voudront dessiner avec eux (ou contre eux). L'exposition Greyscale Rainbow convie le public à faire la visite autoguidée d'un univers de collaboration et à participer à sa création - avec la permission de toucher!


Matt Shane et Jim Holyoak sont des artistes montréalais qui collaborent depuis sept ans. Amis et ennemis depuis le début du siècle, leurs collaborations comprennent : des dessins, des expositions d'art, la cohabitation dans deux villes; un voyage à travers l'Asie; la participation à un groupe de musique; des cours de français en Nouvelle-Écosse; un voyage en Alaska; la plantation d'arbres pendant un été; beaucoup de disputes et d'amour. D'abord venus à Montréal pour réaliser un important travail de collaboration en dessin, ils habitent maintenant à deux pas d'articule. Ils sont tous deux inscrits au programme de maîtrise en beaux-arts de l'Université Concordia.

Over the course of one month, Matt Shane and Jim Holyoak will be transforming articule into an immersive and interactive drawing installation that amalgamates notions of 'studio', 'home' and 'exhibition space'. The walls of the gallery will be covered with paper and drawn on throughout the entire exhibition. During this time, the artists will live, work, and sleep on-site at articule.
Certain themes are present in all the artists' work and will undoubtedly emerge in their drawings for this project as well. Matt and Jim are interested in ideas of urban encroachment, frontiers and strange creatures-real and imaginary. Their work often depicts a meeting point or 'frontier line' between nature and civilization and deals with the state of the Earth's ecology.

The artists' goal is to draw spontaneously and to respond to what happens as the work evolves. Viewers will be encouraged to wander through the landscape of drawings, and to react and participate in the process freely. The artists will provide ink and materials to anyone wishing to draw with them (or against them). The exhibition Greyscale Rainbow invites the public to take a self-guided tour through a collaborative world, and to participate in its creation - to be allowed to touch!

Matt Shane and Jim Holyoak are Montreal-based artists with a seven-year history of artistic collaboration. They have been friends and nemeses since the dawn of the century. Using the term broadly, their collaborations include: drawings; art shows; living together in two cities; traveling across Asia; playing in a band; a French course in Nova Scotia; an Alaskan road-trip; a summer tree planting; much fighting and love. A huge drawing collaboration is what brought them to Montreal in the first place, and they now live down the street from articule. They are each enrolled in Concordia's MFA program.

KIM DORLAND - CALGARY

Skew Gallery 5th Anniversary and Kim Dorland : Canadian Content

opening reception during Art City: artist in attendance

September 10th - October 10th , 2009

"Like many painters today, Mr. Dorland operates in the gap between legible imagery and paint's luscious, even oppressive materiality... Like his use of color, Mr. Dorland's paint handling often has a surprising delicacy and control."
- Roberta Smith, The New York Times, June 19, 2009

In conjunction with its 5th anniversary, Skew Gallery is pleased to present its third solo exhibition for artist Kim Dorland. The new paintings in Canadian Content explore as subject the tradition and experience of landscape painting in Canada. With veneration for Canada's hero-artist, Tom Thomson, Dorland explores imagery of the artist's life and paintings, taking his cues from Thomson's painting expeditions into Canada's back-country. The paintings for Canadian Content were created exclusively during Dorland's guest artist residency at the historic Emma Lake Artist Workshops in Northern Saskatchewan where he endured heavy rain and a constant barrage of mosquitoes to obtain the experience of Canadian plein air painting. In contrast to a studio practice based in the heart of an urban environment, the tranquil and remote surroundings of Emma Lake provided Dorland with a fertile ground to reduce the excess and communicate through visual language in a more minimal yet signature way. Dorland's Emma Lake paintings are indeed impacted by this environment where simple words communicate volumes. Experiencing plein air painting for the first time, Dorland delved deeper into colour-field relationships, recounting an abundance of visual information by distilling it to powerful gestures and blocks of colour.

What Norman Rockwell is to American national identity, Tom Thomson is to Canada's - a poster child for all that is nature in Canada. Dorland pays homage to Tom Thomson's renowned early 20th century sojourns, as a platform from which to explore the tradition of Canadian landscape painting and it's connection to an idyllic notion of being one with nature. A more accurate present-day identity is a country comprised of urbanites, celebrating our weekend communes with nature in "cappuccino-cabins" and trodden woodland paths; the influence of our manufactured society ever-present. Dorland's use of paint and colour in his contemporary landscape paintings besmirch our perception that our society somehow shares a commonality with the iconic artist who was truly exposed to nature when he painted. By contrast Dorland's brazen colour palette reflects a hinterland where man co-exists with speed boats, graffiti, sea-doos, R.V.s and dirt bikes. With reverence, Dorland engages the mystery around the iconic artist - depicting his last canoe expedition from which he never returned, recreating his portrait, and reinterpreting the 1915 painting called Tamarak. In a spectacular eruption of up-to-the-minute colour and texture with brushstrokes that are precise and structured, yet reactive Dorland creates a unique, contradictory painting style: bold and frenetic, yet simultaneously in control.

Kim Dorland received his BFA from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada. He went on to complete his MFA at York University in Toronto. He has exhibited his work widely, with solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Milan and across Canada. He is the recipient of numerous grants and his work is included in a number of important collections such as the Sander Collection in Berlin, Germany, The Glenbow Museum, The Montreal Museum of Fine Art and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. His exhibitions have been reviewed by publications such as The New York Times, The L.A. Times, The Globe and Mail, and Saatchi on line Daily. Dorland lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
