The first part â€" Corpus 1, details the art of that period; while the sec~ 0nd part of the show â€" Corpus 11, shows the more recent work of the past few years. This summer, visitors to both the Centennial Gallery and Gairloch Gallery have the opportunity to view some of the pivotal Canadian conâ€" temporary art of this time including work by such notable artists as Robin Collyer, Liz Magor, Aganetha Dyck, and Gathie Falk. And what is particularly appeal- ing about the wide-ranging exhibit. Corpus I and II â€" on view at Oakville Galleries this summer â€" is the amount of good Canadian contempo- rary art made during that decade. The kind of stuff that still looks good, despite being more than 20 years old. hink the 19708 and think all that was ho hum. The Bee Gees, say, or The Captain and Tenille. But unlike some of the mainstream music of the day, the art was quite differ- ent. By DIANE HART Special to the Beaver They are either alarmed by their simplicity, saying things like, ‘Is it really art?’ or intrigued by the idea,” he said, adding that reaction to many of the 1970s Canadian contemporary artists was much the same. He noted that the stark simplicity of work such as Andre’s â€" for examâ€" ple, his bricks laid out in the National Gallery in Ottawa â€" can be intimidating to some people. “There was a search for common- ality, universality in their work â€" much like the work of Carl Andre or Donald Judd, say," he said, on a walking tour of the exhibit in both galleries this past weekend. To Bruce Grenville â€" curator of contemporary art at the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon â€" the earlier artists were clearly interested in the minimalist world â€" reduce, reduce, reduce. Gathie Falk's "Red Shoes ..."(left) and Aganetha Dyck’s “Close Knit” artists is on hand. years old â€" it is here. There is the To Bruce Grenville â€" curator of Irene Whittome’s Annex au Musee contemporary art at the Mendel Art Blanc with the Falk piece, as well as, Gallery in Saskatoon â€" the earlier a piece by Betty Woodwin. For instance, Aganetha Dyck’s witty Close Knit, 3 long line of sweaters she literally shrunk on hot is reminiscent of an earlier time when more quirkiness and humor was pre- sent in contemporary art galleries. Art these days is far more earnest. Compare, say, Dyck’s Close Knit with that of the more sombre state- ments of the artists of the 19905. While Grenville tried to draw comparisons between some of the works in Corpus I â€" such as Robin Collyer’s Likers of 1972 â€" with those in Corpus ll â€" such as Tom Dean’s Girl of the 19805 â€" the real strength lies in the earlier work on view at Gajrloch. With the recent work, there appears to be less room for humor or quirkiness. But the works, particularly those of the early 19705 in Gairloch, can stand alone, with or without context. To Grenville, what links all of the artists is the attention, with the body and its relationship to the environ- ment.
