This exhibition brings together recent abstract works by Claude Tousignant, and reflects upon the relationship between his large-scale formal abstractions and the « exhibiting » spaces of the gallery. What is the meaning of the great white space of the gallery by way of these works? Today, the white cube is only one possibility amongst many in the public framing of contemporary art. How is the white cube still current in an age where it is often reconfigured as a black box, or altogether forsaken by a whole set of relational practices?

The Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery’s contemporary exhibition program is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
