This exhibition presented a group of eight artists from across Canada and the United States whose work falls outside the conventional frame of painting, and who explore the diverse materials of painting in architectural and sculptural ways. The exhibition included Mary Scott (Calgary), Jessica Stockholder (New York), Robert Youds (Victoria), John Heward (Montreal), Andy Patton (Toronto), Eric Cameron (Calgary), Polly Apfelbaum (New York), and Francois-Marie Bertrand (Chicoutimi). The exhibition was also presented at Galerie Christiane Chassay (Montreal) from May 13 to June 10, 2000 and traveled to other venues.
