uncovering artists' books: Show Tour with Curator Geraldine Davis
Artists’ books read at once as sensual, spatial and tactile; they open our reading experience to the multi-sensory perception of books as art objects. UAB explores this rich artistic practice, highlighting its significant contribution to the history of visual art in Canada.
Curator Geraldine Davis investigates these often overlooked creations, bringing us the opportunity to experience the intimate relationships with literature, visual culture and documentation that they deliver. Artists’ books form an integral part of most art movements; many important painters, sculptors and especially printmakers have chosen to make book arts a significant part of their practices. Experimental and collaborative attitudes prevail in these objects; contemporary examples incorporate new technologies and digital formats into the genre of artists’ books.
The Grimsby Public Art Gallery has a special interest in the book arts both as a logical development of our close relationship with the Grimsby Public Library and, since 1978, through our Wayzgoose Book Arts Fair. We are thrilled that through the curatorial work of Ms Davis and the generous financial support of the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage we are able to present this long overdue survey of Canadian book arts in Grimsby.
Grimsby Ontario
Grimsby is a town on Lake Ontario in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada. Grimsby is a part of the Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area.[2] It is named after the English fishing town of Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire. The majority of residents reside in the area bounded by Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment. The escarpment (colloquially known as 'the mountain') is home to a section of the Bruce Trail.[3]
Grimsby has experienced significant growth over the past decade as the midpoint between Hamilton and St. Catharines. Growth is limited by the natural boundaries of Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment. Some residents feel that development is detrimental to the town as orchards close to the town centre are used for residential development; however, most of the orchards in Grimsby were replaced by houses between the 1950s and 1980s and very few orchards remain.[4]
Some notable attractions in Grimsby are the local skatepark, the Grimsby Museum,[5] the Grimsby Public Library,[6] the Grimsby Public Art Gallery,[7] the West Niagara YMCA, the Danish Church and the hockey arena (Peach King Centre), home of the Grimsby Peach Kings.

A Talent to Amuse: A Retrospective of the Works of Tim Storey
Virtual Exhibitions of the Grimsby Public Art Gallery
Generously Sponsored by RBC
As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, we are honouring the gallery’s history by paying tribute to a few of the over 500 artists who have shown at GPAG during the past 40 years. We are particularly interested in revisiting the careers of artists with deep roots in the community. Tim Storey is one of those artists and we are pleased to feature his work at GPAG in the retrospective, A Talent to Amuse.
Born in England, Storey spent his childhood and youth in Grimsby. After attending Sheridan College in the early 1970’s, he and his partner established a studio near Jordan. Storey’s first major exhibition was in the Grimsby Public Art Gallery around 1980. Snap, our large ceramic dragon on permanent display just outside the gallery’s main doors, was purchased for the collection at this time. Storey eventually moved on to the Madawaska area and continued his very successful career. He is particularly well known for his animal and fantasy themed tea-pots, which are featured in numerous significant Canadian and international collections.
Storey’s work was very popular in our region during the late 1970’s and 1980’s; a number of regional collectors who acquired pieces at that time have generously lent them to GPAG for this exhibition. Each piece is an individual character and every collector seems to have a delightful story about how each piece, like a beloved pet, became an integral part of their family.
While still a student at Sheridan, Storey discovered the power of incorporating humour into his art, and says that “even as a student… I did not seem to have the need, the vision, or quite possibly the talent to create pieces of remarkable beauty or significance. I could, however, make people stop, look, and laugh. I am still having fun with clay and people are still laughing.”
We look forward to brightening your day during A Talent to Amuse. The artist will be present at the opening reception, Sunday September 13th, 2 – 4 p.m. and will give an artist’s talk on the final day of the exhibition, Sunday October 18th. Please join us for either or both of these events – and prepare to be amused.

DESCRIPTION: Conical screens are suspended from the ceiling structure on a grid leaving approximately 2' space in-between for participants to walk comfortably within the 'field' of the installation. Multiple-channel video projection of a river current is being projected from 4 source projectors.
CONCEPT: River is a multi-channel video installation exploring the relationship between the visual perception and physical observation. It also explores relationship of light specified work and environment as well as relationship between object and viewer. The installation consists of multiple conic screens installed throughout the gallery forming an inward-directed space and creating the premise for a possibility of perception which encompasses viewers' entire physical being. It attempts to transform the entire space into a submersive experience of a river current running through.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
4 projectors
4 Dvd players
1 dvd (8 min loop)

Grimsby Secondary School Video Yearbook (1989)
Video by Jonathan Culp. I was just learning how to make videos and the AV guy Greg gave me access to the school camcorder and unlimited VHS tapes for this video yearbook, a concept I had read about somewhere and just kind of ran with.
Having shot about 30 hours of scattershot footage, I went to the school board and used their plastic knob, non-frame accurate VHS editing machine to shape it into primitive themed sequences, interspersed with interviews. The musical sequences were edited, then re-recorded to a second VCR with music and original track combined through a PA mixer.
It was distributed to purchasers in plain fake-leatherette cases on VHS and Betamax in the fall of 1989. Someone told me they liked it in spite of what their friends said. There's stuff in here I now realize I might not have got away with if my mom hadn't been on the school board.
Grimsby Secondary School is slated for closure in 2020.
Unpopular Arts is releasing Jonathan Culp's entire film and video output, spanning three decades, to Youtube for free in 2018.
