Toronto Star article on "Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War"
Three new gallery shows put conflicts in context
GET YOUR WAR ON
January 03, 2008
Peter Goddard
VISUAL ARTS CRITIC
During the recent movie In the Valley of Elah, a tight-lipped former military police investigator (Tommy Lee Jones) listens impassively to a recitation of the horrors his son went through in the Iraq conflict. Barely a flicker of emotion can be detected on the actor's face.
Yet when questioned later by reporters, Jones would praise the film's "realistic outlook on matters of the heart."
Hollywood has always understood how to translate war's misery into matters of the heart – think of The Deer Hunter – although rarely with the finesse shown by Jones or writer/director Paul Haggis.
For a more consistently nuanced, sophisticated and historically resilient response to war we need to turn to the work of gallery artists, as is suggested with three upcoming exhibitions around town.
"Constellations" at Gallery 44 brings together Toronto artist Aubrey Reeves and Ivan Jurakic from Hamilton. Their work connects through a mutual interest in events connected with World War II and the questions about memory that result.
"War Zones" at A Space broadens the whole notion of the "war zone" to include such domestic conflicts – such as the standoff between police and First Nations at Oka near Montreal in 1990, the unending civil war in Colombia, as well as a rights issues from surveillance to racial screening.
"Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War" at U of T Mississauga's Blackwood Gallery and Justina M. Barnicke Gallery in Hart House is the most ambitious undertaking of the lot, with a wide variety of screenings, including Lewis Milestone's 1930 film All Quiet on the Western Front, showing Feb. 12 and 13 near the Blackwood Gallery. There's a Jan. 25 symposium at the U of T Mississauga campus dealing with art that confronts "the topics of war and geopolitical critique."
Distance in time and space can twist our understanding of war's image as readily as propaganda. In On Photography in 1977, Susan Sontag felt that seeing repeated scenes of war's carnage would eventually dull our response to the horror. But in Regarding the Pain of Others, published in 2003, the late essayist revisited her thinking on the photographic image.
Maybe we aren't "going numb," despite the ever-increasing flood of images, she reasoned. So the viewer must see the images in another light, as "an invitation to pay attention, to reflect, to learn, to examine the rationalizations for mass suffering offered by established powers," she wrote.
To one degree or another, the three upcoming exhibitions set out to follow Sontag's thinking.
"Constellations," curated by Sara Angelucci, presents Aubrey Reeves' Daybook (2005), a video reconstruction of the clandestine diary kept by Peter Moen, a Norwegian insurance agent who was a leading figure in Oslo's underground, antiwar press activities. First imprisoned, Moen later drowned at sea. His diary survived, though. Following Moen's lead, Reeves laboriously recreated part of the journal to form her video project screen.
For Jurakic, the photographs in his Reclamation and the sculpture Avatar (2004/2007) begin with an old photo – one that includes the image of the artist's father – showing a postwar salvage crew working on a crashed Nazi Messerschmitt ME-410 bomber.
"War Zones," curated by Sally Frater, suggests that suspicions raised by 9/11 about the Arab world have long been part of the lives of the "many marginalized groups in North America – such as First Nations people, people of colour, queer communities, new immigrants, the poor, etc."
For his part in the "War Zones" show, Toronto artist Derek Hardinge investigates the racist subtext embedded in new security measures determined to screen out "undesirables." Four of his photographs each show a hostile, white middle-class male or female glowering in anger. The four other photographs show Middle Eastern individuals or Asian faces submerged under water – drowning in surveillance, as it were. Also in the show are videos by Peter Kingstone, a video projection by Guillermina Buzio and Jorge Lozano and digital prints from Afshin Matlabi.
"Signals in the Dark," curated by Séamus Kealy, attempts to widen our understanding of what we mean by the term "global war." With 17 internationally known artists showing at either U of T's downtown or Mississauga campuses, and with a 40-day-long video and film program, "Signals" looks at how the effect of "perpetual war, dominant politics and military aesthetics" is being "imaged and how it is imagined."
The artists involved range from Harun Farocki, from Germany, Paul Chan from the United States, and Canadian artist Ron Terada.

Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War
January 17th to March 2nd, 2008
Opening Reception
Wednesday January 16th
5 to 7 pm at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery
6 to 9 pm at the Blackwood Gallery
A free shuttle bus will depart from Hart House at 7pm and return at 9pm
Signals in the Dark: Art in the Shadow of War is an inter-disciplinary project exploring contemporary art’s relationship to war and its representations. A collaboration between the Blackwood Gallery (University of Toronto at Mississauga) and the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto), this project includes an exhibition of seventeen international artists at two university gallery locations, a forty-day film/video program, a catalogue, and a public symposium.
Investigating the interstices between perpetual war, dominant politics, and military aesthetics, this project confronts issues of global warfare, how it is imaged, and how it is imagined. Curated by Séamus Kealy, the exhibition presents artists who are responding to these representations of war through informed critique. While a number of artists produce analyses or outraged expressions arising from their own or others’ experiences of war, other artists challenge the spectacle of contemporary war, its veracity and, ultimately, its intertwinement with a New World Order.

Opening Party
Please join us tonight Thursday November 1st, in the Blackwood Gallery (Kaneff Building) between 5 - 9pm for the Opening Reception of "Awareness Muscle", an exhibition by French artist Thierry Geoffroy.
“Excuse me, is the world perfect? Do you have political opinions? What is your slogan? …. We need you!”
French artist Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel is the first guest in the Blackwood Gallery’s new artist-in-residence program. His project, Awareness Muscle, involves new projects realized on UTM campus and highlights a number of his recent art projects, including his ongoing Emergency Room project (most recently at Nuit Blanche in Toronto). Geoffroy’s projects cross into the public sphere to activate the ordinary into political potential and to create sparks of social consciousness. Acting the persona of ‘Colonel’, a partly true-to-life ‘professional tourist’, Geoffroy confronts the public with unusual requests that turn an everyday rendezvous into an exchange of ideas and identities.
On campus, Geoffroy has already directed public events both at the gallery as well as at the Athletic Centre, blurring art, leisure, exercise, classroom activity, and political activity within the every day space of the university.
Support generously provided by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Trillium Foundation, UTM Residence Life, and The Department of French, German and Italian Studies, UTM.
A FREE shuttle bus is scheduled to pick up guests downtown at the Hart House at 6:15pm and the Gladstone Hotel (Dufferin and Queen) at 6:30pm. The bus will depart the Blackwood at 8:30pm for a return to both the Gladstone and Hart House locations.
