Mircea Cantor - Rennie Collection Speaker Series
Please join us for an Artist Talk by Mircea Cantor, on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Rennie Collection at Wing Sang.
The reflective work of Romanian artist and Prix Marcel Duchamp winner Mircea Cantor (b. 1977) is the subject of a Rennie Collection at Wing Sang exhibition this winter. This is the first solo presentation of his work in Canada. While Cantor works in a number of different mediums, he is best known for his ostensibly simple video narratives that slowly build to subtle but powerful climax leaving the audience with conclusions that keep them thinking well beyond the exhibition.
Included in the exhibition will be one of Cantor's most popular video works, Deeparture (2005). The film depicts a stand-off between a deer and a wolf within the blank white walls of an empty gallery. The animals both share the space and their abnormality to it, and bring to mind allegorical conclusions related to nature and dominance. However the narrative never reaches its imminent violent end, leading to a delicate, unnatural truce between the animals. The audience is left feeling what Belgians call decue en bien - disappointed in a good way.
In the more recent Wind Orchestra (2012), a young boy stands three knives on their handle end and blows them over, like a row of dominoes now more threatening than innocent. The violent implications of playing dominoes with knives appears lost on the boy, who does not seem to recognize the power of the knife as something more ominous than a toy. Another object's common purpose is similarly disrupted in Double Heads Matches (2003). Cantor convinced a match factory in Romania to halt regular production and double dip a series of matches by hand, rendering the typical function of a match more dangerous, but potentially also more cost effective. In both instances, the original symbolic meaning of the object is altered, either by a simple act or change.
Cantor's other works often take the form of sculpture or photography. In Rosace (2007), the rosette shape of the large hanging sculpture evokes a stained glass window or other symbols used in places of worship. It is made entirely of star-shaped ashtrays made of soda cans, which Cantor acquired from a street seller who advised him to take what he wanted and give her whatever he thought was fair. This sort of alternative economy, one based on trust and the individual, appeals to his desire to reorder the world to appreciate the labour and passion of the human hand over a capitalism based on machine manufacturing.
Mircea Cantor's work has been the subject of solo and group exhibitions at institutions throughout the world, including Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Museo Tamayo, Mexico City. In 2011, he was awarded the prestigious Prix Marcel Duchamp, given to an outstanding young artist working in France.
Rennie Collection is one of the largest collections of contemporary art in Canada. Over a number of years, it has evolved to focus on works related to identity, social injustice, appropriation, and the nature of painting and photography. The collection is made up of work by approximately 200 artists, including John Baldessari, Martin Creed, Andrew Grassie, Rodney Graham, Mona Hatoum, Brian Jungen, Richard Jackson, Louise Lawler, and Ian Wallace. While based in Vancouver, the collection is usually spread across the globe, on loan to institutions such as Guggenheim New York, Centre Pompidou, the Smithsonian Institution, and Tate Modern, among many others. The Wing Sang building, the oldest structure in Vancouver’s Chinatown, was renovated in 2009 to create an exhibition space in which the collection could be displayed locally. Rennie Collection at Wing Sang holds two shows each year.

Exhibition - Car Wash from Richard Jackson at Fondation CAB
The CAB is delighted to present a new project by Los Angeles based artist Richard Jackson, a pre-eminent figure in American contemporary art since the 1970’s. Influenced by both Abstract Expressionism and action painting, Jackson explores a performative painting process which seeks to expand the potential of painting by upending its technical conventions. For Jackson, paint is not a tool used to create a representational image, but is a ubiquitous liquid which is spurted, splattered and sprayed over the surface of his installations. Since the 1990’s his proclivity towards engineering has revealed itself in a series of elaborate painting machines.
Jackson’s newest installation is a fully automatic car wash, modified and designed to transform brand new cars into works of art. Soft cloth brushes on the top and sides have been replaced by a 1 ton spiked metal drum and solid metal rotating balls. The cars that come out of this machine are smashed, destroyed, and then applied with a clean coat of paint to finish it off.
By destroying automobiles, Richard Jackson ‘attacks’ one of modernity’s most emblematic materialistic possessions and calls into question the values of consumer society: « I guess it’s a sort of irreverence: I think I’m always trying to change people and the way they think, so you attack their sensibilities. » (Los Angeles Times, as told to Jori Finkel, February 2013)
With its clean wide-open space, the CAB offers opportunities for experimentation and is an ideal location for this project. On this occasion, an independent art venue is transformed into a production site and place of action where the artist creates through the act of destruction.
« Across the history of abstract painting, pretty much every fluke has happened or been hashed out a thousand times over. Now I want to orchestrate a big mess, one serious accident. I plan on colliding complementary-colored cars and inserting wreckage into a gallery.” (Artforum, as told to James Eischen, 4 February 2013)
Recent solo exhibitions include ‘New Paintings’ at Hauser & Wirth in London, the touring retrospective ‘Richard Jackson. Ain’t Painting a Pain’ which was presented at S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium, Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, Germany and Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA in 2013; ‘Richard Jackson. Accidents in Abstract Painting’, at the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA (2012), and ‘Richard Jackson. Collected Works’, Rennie Collection, Vancouver, Canada (2010).

ANDREW GRASSIE
18 November 2017 - 7 January 2018
private view: Saturday 18 November 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Maureen Paley is pleased to present Andrew Grassie’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. Grassie’s paintings recreate in precise detail photographs that he has taken himself, found on the Internet or sourced from archives. His work raises questions about the relationship between documented reality and constructed illusion and it is hard to distinguish his egg tempera paintings from the photographs they are based on.
The exhibition will feature seven new pieces - each depicting a view of one end of the artist’s studio that has been styled to create a fictional work space of another artist. The remains of labour are strewn around; tools, canvases, books, computers, lighting equipment etc. There are only the vaguest hints of artworks being made. They explore both fact and fiction in their deadpan rendering.
Andrew Grassie began a series of ‘recordings’ as a way of breaking an impasse in his own art-making, an impasse due in part to believing in painting at a time when many did not. Leaving Saint Martin’s and the Royal College of Art, facing the void, he discovered an end-run to the tyranny of content by copying his own earlier work at 1:1, in oil, stroke by stroke. In making forgeries of his own paintings, the content of his painting (or at least their importance) instantly evaporated and only the practice of painting itself remained. This way of working evolved, and soon he was painting droll recordings of the spaces and places of the art world itself—gallery offices, storage areas, empty exhibition spaces, and fictional installations. Meaning and the responsibility implied by content were deferred… Yet even though it is a cleverly discursive tactic, Grassie nevertheless remains bound to Albers, Opalka, Morandi, and On Kawara in a shared faith in a practice of meditative repetition.
