Neo-Minimalism

Neo-Minimalism, an exhibition curated by Harry Kiyooka, a Professor Emeritus of Art and an independent curator, features nine Western Canada’s artists whose practice centers on redefining the boundaries of minimal art with a contemporary aesthetic.

Some of the works in the exhibition engage contemporary media such as photography, while other artworks have been created with sophisticated tools including CAD programs and laser cutters. This impressive roster of works ranges from abstraction to figuration and from painting to sculpture.

Exhibiting artists are: David Burdeny (Vancouver), Catherine Burgess (Edmonton), Marjan Eggermont (Calgary), Paul Kuhn (Calgary), Eve Leader (Vancouver), Tanya Rusnak (Calgary), Laurel Smith (Calgary), Christopher Willard (Calgary) and Tim Zuck (Calgary).
