The Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador presents an exhibition
by Tony Urquhart until May 26. First introduced to Canadians in the
late 1950s and 1960s as a pioneer of abstract expressionism, Tony Urquhart
was a central figure (alongside Greg Curnoe, Jack Chambers and others)
in what became known as the London Scene. Urquhart has just retired from
23 years as professor of Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo, teaching
drawing, painting and printmaking. Throughout his academic career he maintained
his status as one of Canada’s most renowned artists, exhibited widely
at home and abroad. Curated by Terrence Heath, the exhibition is co-produced
by the AGNL and the Museum/London (London, ON). There is an exhibition
tour with the artist and curator on Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m. Gallery
Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 12-5 p.m. and Friday evenings 7-10 p.m. For more
information, call 737-8209 or check www.mun.ca/agnl
The Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, located in the St. John's
Arts and Culture Centre, presents the exhibition The Ship Inn: Celebrating
25 Years, until June 29. For 25 years, it has been a centre of artistic
production, advocacy and display. And yes, it’s a bar. Tucked away
on Solomon’s Lane in old St. John’s, The Ship Inn was opened
in 1977 by the Parnhams and continues to be family-run. The Ship Inn’s
“alumni” are a veritable who’s-who of Newfoundland’s
cultural community. Curated by Bruce Johnson, this exhibition will combine
archival materials, visual art, music, video and writing; bringing together
a score of artists, actors, filmmakers and writers in a celebration of
a place that remains close to the geographical and cultural heart of St.
John’s. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 12-5 p.m. and Friday evenings
7-10 p.m. For more information, call 737-8209 or check www.mun.ca/agnl
