SUZY LAKE

Excerpts from Re-Reading Recovery

May 14 - June 14

Following the tremendous success and critical acclaim for "WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution" and "Identity Theft", two U.S. group exhibitions focused on work from 1968-76 and including seminal early works by Suzy Lake, Paul Petro Contemporary Art is pleased to present photo-based works from three intersecting series by Lake from the mid- 1990's. The presentation of these works coincides with "Rhythm of a True Space" at the Art Gallery of Ontario, part of the public installation programme of the CONTACT Photo Festival. AGO photography curator Sophie Hackett has written on this work for the CONTACT catalogue. This informative text, and an image of the installation, can be viewed at the following:

"`Rhythm of a True Space' takes the metaphoric reference of individual preparation for a positive rebuilding to the promise of Frank Geary's transformation of the Art Gallery of Ontario." - Suzy Lake
