Starting 3 June and on view until 20 November 2022, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) will present the most comprehensive retrospective exhibition of General Idea to date. Formed as part of 1960s counterculture, General Idea was a radical artist group founded in Toronto by AA Bronson (b. 1946), Felix Partz (1945–1994) and Jorge Zontal (1944–1994). Together they invented a ground-breaking and provocative multi-disciplinary practice that challenged social and artistic norms, and altered the development of postwar art over the course of 25 years – from the group’s formation in 1969 to the deaths in 1994 of both Partz and Zontal from AIDS-related illnesses. This major retrospective…

The artist’s new commission will be on view from 3 June to 30 October, 2022. A double video projection composed of two alternating segments—each performed and filmed in two churches designed by Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885 – 1975) late in his life: St. Mark’s (Stockholm), and St. Peter’s (Klippan)—The Silence considers the relationship between architecture, music, sound, and the immaterial. The Silence behaves much like a vinyl album—each ‘side’, or video projection, performs a musical score the…

London – Queen Elizabeth II is not only the longest reigning British monarch, she is also the oldest living and longest serving current monarch and head of state anywhere in the world – and with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in full swing, her image holds even greater resonance. Over the 70 years of her reign, the Queen has sat for her portrait countless times, captured by artists and photographers as diverse as Pietro Annigoni, Lucian Freud and Cecil Beaton. Yet one of the most striking representations of the Queen was not the direct result of a sitting. Based on a photograph…

She continues, “The conception of ‘self,’ which is usually thought to mark the beginning of actual memory, may possibly depend on this process of symbolically epitomizing our feelings.”1 The…

London – During the second half of the 19th century and early years of the 20th, Orientalist art was highly popular and the demand for new work attracted many artists to the genre. Not all of them, however, had visited the countries whose culture they were depicting, relying instead on photographs and artistic licence. That could not be said of the Paris- based American painter Frederick Bridgman, who spent 1872-1877 living in Egypt and Algiers patiently acquainting himself with the subjects that would become his life’s work. He produced hundreds of preparatory sketches and acquired a large collection of objects, costumes and architectural…
