Projections is the first major survey to trace the emergence and development of projection-based installation in the history of contemporary art in Canada from the late 1960s to the present. Curated by Barbara Fischer, the exhibition is co-produced by four major galleries of the University of Toronto:

• Blackwood Gallery (UTM)
• Doris McCarthy Gallery (UTSC)
• University of Toronto Art Centre
• Justina M. Barnicke Gallery

All of the works in this exhibition involve projection, whether in the form of light, slides, film, video or television. Spanning four decades since its first use in the mid 1960s, the exhibition provides a glimpse of a particularly rich area of experimentation in contemporary art in Canada.

This is quite a major exhibition, so if you haven’t had the chance to check out the galleries on campus (to be honest, I haven’t even been to all of them, and I’ve been here 5 yearss), it’s a good opportunity to do so.

When: Opens April 8, runs till July 17, 2007
Where: Four galleries across 3 U of T campuses
Details: For more details (including the opening reception), check their website. Here’s a link to the pdf brochure with details of the exhibition and locations of the galleries.
