The Shape of Things

22 Jun 2012 - 12 Aug 2012

Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art, Toronto

 

This exhibition createsan active tension between the works of Joseph Albers, Ron Martin, Luanne Martineau, Elizabeth McIntosh, Claude Tousignant and Richard Tuttle. The pure notions of form and colour are integrated in hybrid works that challenge the prevailing processes of modernist abstraction.

Organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art, Toronto.
