Hoja de arce,
otoñocemos. 
Pero yo
¿en qué árbol?

the tantramar radio towers, symbols of my hometown & relics of a pre-digital era, were torn down in 2014, but it makes me feel better that they're immortalized above the bookcase in rideau hall

J’ai beaucoup aimé le travail de Thaddeus Holownia. Je trouve que dans les photos qu’il prend on peut voir un rapport avec l’humain et la nature. Le passage de l’humain dans son environnement est bien démontré dans les photos. Aussi, les traces laissées par l’humain et que la nature a reprit le dessus.

Le photographe qui m’a le plus intéressée est Thaddeus Holownia. Dans la majorité de ses tirages, il explore les traces que l'humanité laisse sur le paysage. J’ai beaucoup aimé ce photographe en raison de son sujet, qu’il photographie en noir et blanc et parfois aussi en couleur. De plus, j’aime bien aussi le fait qu’il utilise un appareil plus ancien malgré les multiples choix plus moderne qui existe. J'adore plus particulièrement cette série de photos pour les couleurs et la lumière douce capturées par Thaddeus.
Pour ce tirage ci-dessus, Thaddeus examine le visage changeant de la lumière au-dessus de l'horizon et celles du paysage et en particulier de la surface de l'étang artificiel situé sous sa maison au Nouveau-Brunswick.

The Anchorage Press
In 1977 when Holownia went to New Brunswick to teach in the arts department in Mount Allison University, he brought his concepts with him. Being the resourceful artist, he had actually started getting chances and sods of printing devices that were being retired from regional printshops. 
   He thought that an active press had the possibility of being a centre of cultural activity not just in the school however in the neighborhood. By fall of 1987, the Anchorage Press was moved out from the library and into the addition at Jolicure. 
    ended up being a personal press with the transfer to Jolicure in 1987. For many years, the Anchorage Press has actually produced books, exhibit brochures and ephemera for the university, along with casting the names in lead of the Mount Allison graduates and printing them on the university’s diplomas. The university and the neighborhood has actually in some way benefited on Holownia’s Anchorage Press, not to discuss his kindness of mentor in the university. 
    is a working lab of letterpress devices committed to the research study of great typography and ingenious collaboration of image and text.  lies in Jolicure, New Brunswick and has actually served a mentor studio for the trainees of Mount Allison University under the lead of Thaddeus Holownia for over a years. 
   In about 1983, he had the ability to develop a short-term print-shop that bent in the basement of the university’s library. In an effort to motivate interest in printing and print history in the neighborhood, he assisted arrange the 1987 Anchorage Symposium on Printing and Publishing in Atlantic Canada in concurrence with the University’s Centre for Canadian Studies. This occasion was very little to what Holownia gotten out of the arts neighborhood that he anticipated. 
    established out of Holownia’s understanding as an interactions and great arts trainee in Windsor, Ontario and his experiences as a young artist in Toronto throughout the late 1960′s and early 1970′s. His participation with an artist-run gallery called A Space provided method to his satisfying imaginative individuals from numerous fields consisting of individuals from Coach House Press.

It is with immense pleasure that the Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery welcomes Thaddeus Holownia and his exhibition Tantramar revisited revisited. This exhibition examines four subjects to which the artist has returned repeatedly to chronicle the interrelated relationships he observes in the landscape. An attentive observer of the land and how it reveals its history, the artist's dedication to his art and his landscape is one that will resonate with audiences here, who also live, feel and express powerful connections to the land. #andrewandlauramccainartgallery #mountallisonuniversity #photography (at The Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery (ALMAG))

Critical Superbeast 2016 - 2018
Tumblr media
Critical Superbeast was an online critical writing forum based in Hamilton, Ontario, from 2016-2018. Through (mostly) weekly posts, various writers covered the works of artists from the local scene and beyond, including exhibition reviews, thoughts on visual culture topics, studio visit musings and more. It was founded by a group of arts workers and artists in Hamilton.
We felt the need for more critical dialogue in this city, which is increasingly enlivened by working artists. An editorial board was struck not to vet content but rather to coordinate the logistics of a rotating group of writers and editors, handle our call for submissions and organize the content for the blog posts. Facebook posts reached anywhere from 150 to 1000 readers. We’re proud of what was accomplished: the attention brought to the art scene and the hard work of artists (who often toil away without much public feedback), plus the encouraging occasion for writers to conceptualize and deliver a piece to be published.
The group has now wound down due to various other commitments on the part of the organizers. Rest assured that the commitments are all still heavily related to art creation and/or criticism. But we are all proud of what was accomplished with Critical Superbeast:
Forty-four essays written, covering the works of emerging and established Hamilton artists, plus a few living further afield.
Writers were all volunteers, and most of them played an administrative role at some point as well. The list includes: Jen Anisef, Gabriel Baribeau, Melissa Bennett, Aimee Burnett, Tara Bursey, Greg Davies, Anthony Easton, Tor Lukasik-Foss, Jeremy Freiburger, John Haney, Daniel Hutchinson, Amanda Jernigan, Emma Lansdowne, Ingrid Mayrhofer, Sally McKay, Sylvia Nickerson, Caitlin Sutherland, Karen Thiessen, Svava Juliusson, Alana Traficante, and Stephanie Vegh, (Apologies for any omissions).
Artists covered in the writings include: Jennifer Angus, Heather Benning, Katinka Bock, Danny Custodio, Robert Davidson, Erika DeFreitas, Levine Flexhaug, Andrea Flockhart, V. Jane Gordon, Laine Groeneweg, John Haney, Joseph Hartman, Catherine Heard, Thaddeus Holownia, Michele Karch-Ackerman, Sean Kenney, Suzy Lake, Elad Lassry, Steven Laurie, Trisha Leigh Lavoie, Claudia Manley and Liss Platt, Nancy Anne McPhee, Martin Messier, Sylvia Nickerson, Hélio Oiticica, Vicky Sabourin, Giancarlo Scaglia, Judith Scott, WhiteFeather, Benita Whyte, and Marlene Yuen; plus more in various group exhibitions such as Art Spin’s first venture in Hamilton.
Rest in peace, ‘Beast.
