The Alchemy of Remains presented by Art Gallery Of PeterboroughFriday January 11, 2008 To Sunday March 2, 2008Location: 250 Crescent Street, Peterborough
Susan Fisher is a Peterborough-based artist whose practice engages the traditions of encaustic
painting with photographic collage and mixed-media drawing. Interested in issues of
environmentalism and industrial landscapes, her abstracted compositions evoke a dialogue
between destruction and renewal. Process-orientated, this collection of recent works follow
Fisher’s unique visual practice which is influenced by her dual interests in art and archaeology
and her international travels to sites of architectural ruins, including ghost towns. This intriguing
exhibition will attempt to immerse the viewer in a visceral experience of the fragile but
threatened ecology of the earthly elements.

The Heeney Banners Prints presented by Art Gallery Of PeterboroughFriday January 11, 2008 To Sunday March 2, 2008Location: Lower Ramp, Trent University
This suite of abstract prints, taken from the AGP’s Permanent Collection, is based on the ten
fabric paintings that were commissioned for the Great Hall of Champlain College at
Peterborough’s Trent University. The original double-sided panels created by renowned
international artist Robert Murray in 1986, serve to commemorate Brian Heeney (1933-1983)
who was the College’s third Master. Murray’s reputation is based largely on his unique bridging
of painterly abstract principles and traditional sculpture, though he began his visual practice as a
painter and printmaker. The artist’s design for the Banners reflects the complex interaction of
planes and angles central to Ron Thom’s architectural design of the building as well as the
expressive range of colour reflected through seasonal and atmospheric changes.

Corpo presented by Art Gallery Of PeterboroughFriday January 11, 2008 To Sunday March 2, 2008Location: 250 Crescent Street, Peterborough
This thought-provoking installation addresses the impact of environmental and social devastation
related to global corporate domination. Building on botanical painting and drawing on
biomorphic forms that vary between the real and the surreal, Mary Kainer brings together data
and information through maps, schemata and structures that explore various international
corporations and their dubious practices. Utilizing a format of hand-written texts with collage
elements, this work has an irreverent allusion to school Bristol board projects, but the mutant
imagery linked by systems information is meant to disturb as well as raise awareness of issues in
the struggle against the corporate control of resources, from genetic engineering to urban
development.
