| Wanda Koop - FACE TO FACE November 19, 2009 to January 10, 2010 | |
|
Wanda Koop is an artist of national significance, having represented Canada at the 2001 Venice Biennale and received the Order of Canada in 2006, and who will be the subject of a major retrospective in 2011, co-presented by the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada. Recognized for her landscapes, Koop's solo exhibition at the Richmond Art Gallery will present a little-known aspect of Koop’s production: portraits and figures spanning nearly 25 years. Beginning with large-scale paintings of Chinese opera characters, the exhibition will include works developed from extensive notes and sketches recorded on Koop’s first trip to China in 1986, and recent works on robotics. |

| Arthur Renwick - Mask January 28 - April 4, 2010 | |
| Richmond Art Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographic work by First Nations artist, Arthur Renwick. Renwick was born in Kitimat, British Columbia and is currently based in Toronto. Arthur Renwick builds on his previous exhibition, Mask, with a new body of work Mask: Artists and Curators. In this series, Renwick exhibits larger than life portraits of First Nations artists and curators who participated in a curatorial conference in Vancouver in 2009. Many at the conference were accustomed to questioning and challenging their “Indian” identity in their work. Already familiar with the stereotypical portrayal as recorded by history, pop culture, and the contemporary lens, they were asked to gaze back into the camera and “pull a face” in response. The result is a body of images that depicts a culture alive, reactive and very comfortable with challenging and mocking the norm. The exhibition will feature four of the original Mask photographs and 12 new works. This exhibition is accompanied by a publication with text by Richard William Hill. The exhibition is presented with Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the City of Richmond. |

| Jennifer Angus, Robin Ripley, Mary Anne Barkhouse - Strange Nature June 25 - September 5, 2010 | |
| Strange Nature brings together the work of Jennifer Angus, Mary Anne Barkhouse and Robin Ripley. These artists explore the ways we interact with nature in an experimental and interdisciplinary artistic environment. Avoiding the traditional approach that creates definitive oppositions between mankind and nature, we want to focus on the connections, representations, strategies and sensibilities that link these two universes in a critical and transformative form. Knowing beforehand that our survival depends on our response to the current environmental crisis, this exhibit will address new forms of sociability and subjectivity, as well as our emotional involvement with nature within and around us. |

| Gu Xiong - Waterscapes September 17 - November 14, 2010 | |
| From the mid 19th century onward, the Fraser and Yangzi rivers have connected migrants from around the world as China and Canada both became enmeshed in an emerging global economy. Starting with the migration of Chinese labourers to the Fraser River for the gold rush of 1858 and the late 19th century migration of Canadian missionaries to the Yangzi River region, these rivers have become over-written with histories, memories, and the material traces of migration. In providing vital transit access between the Pacific Ocean and inland areas, these rivers can be understood as complex “waterscapes” in which uneven experiences of displacement, dispossession, and adaptation have occurred. |

| Noxious Sector - More Often than Always/Less Often than Ever November 26 - January 23, 2011 | |
| Starting from Alfred Jarry’s invention of “pataphysics” (the science of imaginary solutions), Victoria-based Curatorial Collective, Noxious Sector (Doug Jarvis and Ted Hiebert), will undertake More Often Than Always / Less Often Than Never. This curatorial initiative will invite artists from around the world to engage with notions of impossibility, uncertainty and the imaginary which challenge standardized formulations of the allowable, acceptable, logical or feasible; a call for imaginary solutions to real questions, however artists define the respective places of the imagination and reality. |
