#terra incognita
double-take coincidence
As I was walking down the hall at 401 Richmond, a hall I’ve walked down too many times to count in the past 3 months since I’ve started to work there, I finally noticed the name of this 8-foot tall print I pass each time: ‘terra incognita’ by Jeannie Thib. A sweet feeling of belonging rushed into me.
The print has been there for over a decade. I found this small blurb from a 1998 newsletter.
Printmaker Jeannie Thib is as active as ever. A ten-year survey of her work called Body, Artifact & Absence, sponsored through the AGO’s ‘Artists With Their Works’ program, is on display at the WKP Kennedy Gallery in North Bay until October 17, 1998. Jeannie’s Terra Incognita (a print appears on our third floor) travels to Mexico for Anatomical Permutations, an exhibit by ten Canadian female artists whose work centres around the body. The show is part of the XXVI International Cervantes Festival and takes place at the Museo del Pueblo in Guanajuato, GTO from October 7-25, 1998. Closer to home, don’t miss Jeannie’s work in a group exhibit, The Word in Contemporary Canadian Art, at the Art Gallery of North York on view until November 8, 1998.
