November 11–December 18, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, November 11 from 5:00-8:00 pm 
 
Please join us for the opening of two new exhibitions:

Gallery One
Derek Sullivan
It is More Difficult to Hit a Moving Target 

Derek Sullivan’s artwork is predicated on the quotation of images and texts borrowed equally for the worlds of art and design. It is More Difficult to Hit a Moving Target includes the restaging of several significant installations including Endless Kiosk (2005) and Manuscript for Wattle and Daub (2004-2009), alongside a selection of his Poster Drawings, sculptural objects, books and editions. The continual act of rewriting and reproducing is central to Sullivan’s working process. His artistic investigations, which routinely take form in a variety of media, question commonly accepted notions of authorship and originality while also celebrating the work of his conceptual predecessors.

Derek Sullivan completed his BFA at York University in 1999, and his MFA at the University of Guelph in 2002. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including “P2P” at Casino Luxembourg (curated by Le Bureau), and “Citizen, Denizen, Resident” at Tatjana Pieters, Gent, Belgium. Recent solo exhibitions include Jessica Bradley Art + Projects; Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge; Galerie Florence Loewy, Paris; White Columns, New York; and Tatjana Pieters, Gent, Belgium. The artist lives in Toronto, Ontario. Derek Sullivan is represented by Jessica Bradley Art + Projects, Toronto. www.dereksullivan.ca 


Gallery Two
Patrick Cull
Gravity Paintings

Gravity Paintings is a series that the artist has produced using sign shop techniques and materials in an unconventional manner. Grafting carefully assembled layers of multi-hued vinyl mounted directly onto PVC that has been precisely cut using a CNC router. The paintings suggest a collision of Hard-edge abstraction and the geometric designs of a Spirograph. Collecting a eight works completed over the last two years this exhibition marks the first significant survey of this Waterloo region based artists work.

Patrick Cull received his BA from the University of Waterloo and is currently pursuing his MFA program at York University. His work has been exhibited across Canada and he has recently exhibited at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts, Canning, NS; York Quay Centre, Toronto; Peak Gallery, Toronto; and Gallery 96, Stratford. His work is in several private collections and he is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including grants from the Ontario Arts Council and ArtSmarts. He lives in Kitchener, Ontario.
