Fountain is pleased announce

An exhibition of recent paintings by KATHRYN MacKAY

Opening Reception Thursday April 3, 7-11PM

Exhibition Dates; April 3-20, 2008

"Cinematheque Ontario's primary projectionist, Kathryn MacKay is also an accomplished painter, and her two professions go hand in hand. MacKay occassionally has additional duties as a programmer for the Cinematheque's experimental Free Screening Series, and there's a similar sensibility-fondness for the kinds of innovations made by American filmmaker Stan Brakhage, for example- in her meticulously created works. MacKay fashions collages, frequently on plywood, building up and scraping down layers of paint and glaze, and interspersing them with images and texts (everything from ticket stubs to maps to vintage magazine clippings). The process is simultaniously archaelogical and architectural; MacKay lays out the sites of disovery herself, slowly excavating or developing them as she sees fit." - David Balzer in Toronto Life, April 2008

March Update...

In spite of the seemingly endless winter, March has been a great month for Fountain. Our showing of pointilism artist Paul Murray's work was a great success with the opening attracting many local Toronto characters including actress-playwright Kate Lynch, recording artist Spookey Ruben, painter Cynthia Chapman and man-about-town Marcus O'Hara (see below for images).
