Arnaud Maggs: Lost and Found
MacLaren Art Centre and Downtown Barrie
Sept 4th to October 31st, 2010
Lost and Found features recent works from two photographic series by
award-winning Canadian artist Arnaud Maggs. Contamination, 2007,
is comprised of sixteen successive page spreads of a damaged ledger
dating to the 1905 Yukon Gold Rush discovered by Maggs in a flea
market. Its symmetrical ink stains and mould patterns across blank
pages evoke an unfulfilled destiny. Scrapbook, 2009, is a four-part work
of page spreads selected from unfinished scrapbooks begun by Maggs
in 1973, at the outset of his career as a fine artist but soon after set aside,
only to be re-encountered by Maggs thirty-six years later. www.maclarenart.com |

Andrew Hunter: The Burden of Proof
MacLaren Art Centre
Barrie, Ontario
Sept 11th - Oct 31st, 2010
This narrative project by Waterloo artist, writer and curator Andrew T.
Hunter focuses on a fictional character, Andrew Herbert Hunter, who acts
as bridge between himself and historical Barrie figure Andrew Frederick
Hunter (1863-1940). A. F. Hunter was a leading Simcoe County historian,
archaeologist and publisher whose serious academic research and
writing is a counterpoint to the artist’s historical fictions. Rooted in local
history, folklore and story-telling and developed through a community
collaboration, The Burden of Proof attempts to demonstrate the existence
of an imaginary lake monster residing in Kempenfelt Bay.
