I have curated and cocurated a number of exhibitions, notably, art works by the wives of political prisoners: The Chilean Women’s Tapestry Exhibition (1983). Over six hundred small tapestries were exhibited and sold, musical events and a round table discussion took place at Powerhouse. As I worked closely with the Montreal Chilean community I felt a great deal of satisfaction about our political and artistic efforts. More recently,
I was touched personally by the death(within a short period of time),
of three close friends, all women artists. My experience of human
loss was compounded by dealing with the ‘impedimenta’ of
their artistic lives, and caused much reflection concerning what is
left once an artist dies. I curated the Gay Rowland Retrospective,
and Memento, an exhibition of paintings and tapestries by the late
Kina Reusch (past director of Powerhouse), both as appropriate memorials
and celebrations of their art, and, I am working on a catalogue of
the works of the late Harriet |
