Janet Hodgson
Here and There, Then and Now
in Gairloch Gardens
30 October 2004 - 2 January 2005
Curated by Marnie Fleming

British artist Janet Hodgson confuses the time, location and history of four homes in Oakville and Toronto in Canada, and the Lake District and Kent in England. Using a combination of projected video, sound, and sculptural installation, she conþates and layers one home on top of the others, revealing the built environment as a series of interwoven relationships. Inspired by H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, this work creates a reactive experience brought about and mediated by the very walls of Gairloch House.

Alain Paiement
Le monde en chantier / Living Chaos
at Centennial Square
30 October 2004 - 2 January 2005
Curated by Anne-Marie Ninacs

In Alain Paiement's exhibition at Centennial Square, the artist effectively reconstitutes within the gallery space his own apartment, sections of the building's basement and roof, the pastry shop on the ground þoor, the street front, and the tranquil rear courtyard. As curator Anne-Marie Ninacs comments, "The theme of habitation recurs throughout the vast artistic project Alain Paiement has been working on since the early 1980s.... he juxtaposes unconventional locations and perspectives that are infused with an insatiable curiosity about how we humans inhabit the Earth." The exhibition and its accompanying publication, Alain Paiement: Le monde en chantier / Living Chaos, are produced by the Galerie de l'UQÀM.

Liz Magor
Channel
in the Gardens
Commissioned for Oakville Galleries

Liz Magor's new outdoor sculpture, Channel, is in the form of a hollow tree trunk with indications of an alternative interior space. Installed horizontally, the work is cast directly from a black locust, a tree native to Ontario. On close examination, this apparent fallen log has eyeholes that animate the form.

The exhibitions of Alain Paiement and Janet Hodgson are on view until 2 January 2005 and sponsored by The Daniels Corporation. Janet Hodgson is also supported by The British Council. Oakville Galleries gratefully acknowledges the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the Corporation of the Town of Oakville.
