Unique art show opens at Galleries Each artist in The Jennifer Show was chosen because she meets the basic requirement for the Oakville Galleries exhibition -- her name is Jennifer. The show -- which fea tures artists Jennifer Domer, Jennifer Marman, Jennifer McMackon, Jennifer Murphy, Jennifer Reeder, Jennifer Reeves, Jennifer Stillwell, and Jennifer Weih -- runs from April 20-June 16. An opening will be held Friday from 7:308:30 p.m. at Centennial Square, followed by an 8:30 p.m. reception at Gairloch Gardens. i A curators' talk with Jenifer Papararo and Robin Metcalfe will be held on April 30 at 7:30 p.m. A Family and Friends workshop will be held May 25, 2-5 p.m at Centennial Square. According to organizers, the work is not selected because it illustrates a point or elucidates a theme, and it does not attempt to show a shared aesthetic between artists named Jennifer. The act of coming together under the process of art and bringing artists' practices into the public realm are the most significant reasons for mounting this exhibition. The parameter of Jennifer intentionally reduces the vari ables used in choosing artists for this group show to name, say curators. Issues of selection, rela tions between works and how these relations affect the way we engage with the individual > ----------------------------------works, namely the curatorial process, come to the fore. Since the works do not have to play to a theme, they are indi vidually significant. Maybe what this theme does best of all is erase itself as it privileges the idiosyncrasies o f each work and the curator's taste. Domer is a video-based installation artist, she is cur rently teaching as a Sessional Professor at the University of Western Ontario. McMackon lives and works in Toronto. Her videos, paintings and sculptures have been exhibited through out Canada. Marman is a visual artist living in Toronto. Murphy is a mixed media artist who create her work from materials that can be found at local stores. Chicago native Reeder is a movie maker and visual artist who constructs extreme sce narios that explore formal approaches toward narrative, architectural and the post-poli tics of class/race identity. Reeves is a New Yorkbased painter with a long and eclectic exhibition history. Stillwell is a Canadian interdisciplinary artist based in Winnipeg whose work encom passes sculpture, installation, performance and video. In 2001, she was nominated for The Canadian Council for the Arts' Fund for Future Generations Millennium Prize. Weih is a video artist who lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
