the pace of days

MacDonald Stewart Art Centre,

Guelph, Ontario

January 23- April 6, 2014

In The Pace of Days, Monica Tap reimagines the tradition of landscape painting through her travels across Canada and Spain, including a 36-day walk along the Camino de Santiago in 2012-2013. The resulting works open a dialogue between landscape and abstraction, the expansion and compression of time, while bridging the disciplines of painting, photography, and video.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with essays by Christina Ritchie and Barry Schwabsky, who offer thoughtful insights into Tap’s work.
