Alex Colville
at Art Gallery of Ontario
Toronto, ON, Canada
Aug 23, 14 - Jan 04, 15

More than 100 works by Canadian icon Alex Colville (1920-2013) will be presented at the Art Gallery of Ontario starting in summer 2014, marking the largest exhibition of the late artist’s work to date. Curated by Andrew Hunter, the AGO’s curator of Canadian art, the exhibition will honour Colville’s legacy and explore the continuing impact of his work from the perspectives of several prominent popular culture figures from film, literature and music. Known for painting decidedly personal subject matter, Colville’s painstakingly precise images depict an elusive tension, capturing moments perpetually on the edge of change and the unknown, often imbued with a deep sense of danger. read more...

Tempus Fugit (Time Flies)
at Gajah Gallery
Singapore, Singapore
Aug 22, 14 - Sep 05, 14

The exhibition Tempus Fugit (Time Flies), curated by Daniela Beltrani, unravels Jason Lim's performance art practice in two clear segments. The first (Timeline), dynamic by nature, has a purely art historical, non-commercial approach and probes into Lim's performance art practice from its very beginning in 1994 to the present time, considering his evolution and offering a meaningful context to the photos exhibited.
