Spotlighting Achievements in
Canadian Art Studies
La cueillette | The Foray a collection of writing by Concordia University graduate students. Inspired by the writings of Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, and focused on contemporary art, this project mobilizes the figure of the mushroom and the world of possibilities offered by the foray. A publication launch and virtual roundtable was held on April 14, 2021.
The Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art brings together people who are passionate about the visual arts in all of their diversity. Knowledge and Networks Quarterly was conceived as a connective and generative way to share new research and pedagogy. More than a bulletin, we hope this acts as a switchboard connecting people to one another, to new ideas, and to exciting possibilities.

We were so very pleased at the warm and enthusiastic response to KNQ's first issue last March. Thank you to everyone who reached out, subscribed, followed, and contributed.

Just because we are moving into the summer months, it doesn't mean that research or teaching comes to a complete standstill (though, making some space for relaxation in the sunshine is a wholly restorative experience). This issue brings you suggested reading, virtual exhibitions of note, and ongoing conversations and lecture series from across the field of studies in Canadian art to keep us connected and inspired.

IN FOCUS...

 A new collection of scholarly essays, co-edited by Linda M. Morra and Sarah Henzi, has emerged from On the Other Side(s) of 150: Untold Stories and Critical Approaches to History, Literature, and Identity in Canada, an international, interdisciplinary conference organized by Morra in 2017 at the University of College Dublin.  Untold Stories of the Past 150 Years supplements and frequently upends the commemorative narratives surrounding Canada’s sesquicentennial. Chapters focusing on art and visual culture include Brian Foss and Jacques Des Rochers’s “Who Gets Remembered? Gender and Art in the Early Twentieth Century,” Martha Langford’s “Who Can Tell? Photographic Histories and Counter-Histories of Mennonite Communities in Canada,” Mary Ann Steggles, “The Vietnam Era Resisters Who Shaped Canada’s Ceramic Heritage,” and Libe García Zarranz, “Thresholds of Sustainability: Cassils’ and Emma Donoghue’s Counter-Narratives.”
