4 Hours and 38 Minutes: Videotapes by Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak
26 October – 2 December, 1990
Curated by Philip Monk for the Art Gallery of Ontario, with accompanying catalogue essays by Monk and Dot Tuer, this exhibition concentrates on the collaborative video work of Steele and Tomczak, beginning with Working the Double Shift (1984). To provide context, a selection of their pre-collaborative individual works is included. These twelve videotapes are provocative and didactic, questioning the manner in which the mass media depict “real life”. Organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Ontario with the support of The Canada Council.
