Susan Dobson: this exhibition is about the transformative effects of modernity as revealed by our everyday experience of the sprawling landscape. In his exhibition, Home and Garden, Kitchener-based artist, Andrew Wright borrows trade secrets from the old masters and offers an intriguing glimpse of the use of optical tools at the hands of a contemporary artist.
Susan Dobson: Sprawl
Curated by Marnie Fleming
November 16, 2002 Â January 19, 2003
Centennial Square
Opening: Friday, November 22, 7:30 to 8:30 pm at Centennial Square followed by a reception in Gairloch Gardens at 8:30 pm.
You won't find any soccer moms, golf-bag-toting dads, streets brimming with
SUVs, or kids playing road hockey in Susan Dobson's photographs; their
presence is felt through their absence. Her careful documentation of the
everyday and the absurd, in and around Oakville, offers a rich account of
life in-between the urban city centre and the rural expanse. While the
images are specifically focused on the locale of Oakville, they could be
from anywhere in North America. This exhibition is about the transformative
effects of modernity as revealed by our everyday experience of the sprawling
landscape.

Gairloch Gardens
Opening and Reception: Friday, November 22, 8:30 pm in Gairloch Gardens.
In his exhibition, Home and Garden, Kitchener-based artist, Andrew Wright
borrows trade secrets from the old masters and offers an intriguing glimpse
of the use of optical tools at the hands of a contemporary artist. Wright
uses a camera obscura, a camera lucida, a conventional view camera, as well
as video technology to assist him in negotiating a relationship to the home
and gardens that comprise the Gairloch estate.
