John Murchieâs art explores the relationship between order and accident. By focusing on simple actions, such as drawing a line, applying paint, or selecting colours, he seeks chaos in constraint and humour in seriousness. Straight lines end up crooked, evenly applied layers of paint become strange formations, crossword puzzles reveal modernist abstractions. à rebours (Against the Grain) spans fifty years of Murchieâs artistic practice, which found its direction in the 1970s, when he was Director of the Library at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.
Murchie is also widely known for his generous mentorship and support of artists and cultural producers at all stages of their careers, his tireless work building artistsâ networks, and his significant contributions to artist-run culture in Canada. These contributions have led many artists to express their respect and admiration for him through their work. This exhibition is accompanied by a small selection of these homages done by artists Erin Brubacher, John Haney, Micah Lexier, Deborah Margo, Graeme Patterson, Felicity Tayler, and Tara K. Wells.
Originally from New Jersey, John Murchie immigrated to Canada in 1967 and has lived in Sackville, New Brunswick, for the past thirty-two years, earning a living as a gallery director, curator, writer, teacher, farmer, and cook. From 1972 to 1990 he worked as Director of the Library at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. His art practice spans more than fifty years during which time he published several artist books including A Quiet Evening (1978), Lines (1979), and One Way Ticket (1983). He has had several solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions at venues including AC Institute (New York), Dalhousie Art Gallery (Halifax), Articule (Montreal), Mercer Union (Toronto), The Nickle Arts Museum (Calgary), and Open Space (Victoria). He participated in Mountain Standard Time Performative Art Festival in 2003 and 2008. As a curator, he has organized exhibitions for Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery (Halifax), the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (Halifax), the Beaverbrook Art Gallery (Fredericton), and the Confederation Centre Art Gallery (Charlottetown). He received awards and grants including two Canada Council for the Arts âCurator and Criticsâ awards, and, in 1995-1996, he was a Research Fellow at the National Gallery of Canada. From 2003 to 2013, he worked as the Coordinator of Struts Gallery & Faucet Media Arts Centre (Sackville, NB).

M. Gros by GeneviĂšve & Matthieu
November 11 to December 18, 2022 at the Galerie dâart Louise-et-Reuben-Cohen
Opening: November 11, 4 â 6 p.m.
Performance as of 4:30 p.m. | Performance collaboration: Stefan St-Laurent
Artist talk (in French): November 12, 9 :30 â 11 :30 a.m. Dieppe Arts and Culture Centre.
GeneviĂšve & Matthieu’s installation-performance M. Gros is inspired by the Canadian investigative technique known as Mr. Big, which allows a police officer, undercover, to obtain a confession from a suspect of a serious unsolved crime. Led by shape-shifting characters, living sculptures, binomial weapons and a televisual sound environment, M. Gros tackles issues of identity such as surveillance, infiltration, idea theft and copying; but beyond the classics of investigative games, the story mostly stages a contemporary artistic flora.
The duo GeneviĂšve & Matthieu, from Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi-TĂ©miscamingue, emerged in the late 1990s. Their work combines art, performance, music, and daily life. Using interdisciplinary practices, from happening to music composition and from performance to installation, this duo creates collective performances and stagings of sometimes festive but always human social scenes.
This project is presented as part of the Media Arts component of the Festival international du cinéma francophone en Acadie (VAM-FICFA). The exhibition will be on view from November 11 to December 18, 2022. Opening hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

Gallery On Queen is pleased to announce “Suburbia,” an exhibition by Stephen Lack. The opening of the show takes place on Friday, October 7th, 2022, at 5:30PM.
Stephen Lack was part of the influential East Village art scene in the early 80âs with artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel and Sherie Levine. The subject matter of his work focuses on urban car culture, suburban architecture and cityscapes
His Neo-Expressionist style often depicts nostalgic 1950âs Americana charged with an underlying anxiety. As Lack puts it, âI like to seduce the viewer into the beauty of the image world and then reveal the threat.â
“Suburbia” will show at the Gallery until October 28th. You can find more details by clicking the “Exhibition Information” button below.
