 Oakville
Galleries is committed to developing and maintaining a permanent collection that not only
serves as a legacy for the Oakville community but encourages the public to regard art as
an integral part of their lives. Over the last 10 years, a compilation of
contemporary art has evolved that is quickly gaining international recognition. Currently,
the total permanent collection contains more than 1,100 works of art, valued at over $1.7
million.Oakville Galleries is committed to
providing public access to its collection through a growing variety of approaches. Major
institutions across Canada borrow work from it for exhibitions, and new research and
exhibition initiatives from emerging curators are encouraged through an ongoing mentoring
program. Today the permanent collection has grown to a size that allows us to create
annual exhibitions from it. |

What We Bring to the Table
Patrick Faigenbaum, Bettina Hoffmann, Instant Coffee, Laura Letinsky
In Gairloch Gardens Curated by Marnie Fleming
The artists in this exhibition explore the table as
a locus for the everyday exchange of emotion, where stories of family and
fellowship unfold among the tableaux formed by dirty dishes and messy tabletops. |

Société de ville
at Centennial Square
Curated by Marnie Fleming
Much of what we associate with the city–asphalt, lights, surveillance, the
grid–was developed in response to a variety of oppressive natural phenomena that
afflicted early urban settlements. These included the uncertainties of night, smell and
disease caused by human waste, and the fear of crime. Although these and other problems
began to be identified during the early Renaissance, they were not properly addressed
until the eighteenth century, when municipal lighting and sanitation programs were
effectively organized and the police became an apparatus of the state.

Mnemonic Devices
in Gairloch Gardens
This exhibition, assembled from Oakville Galleries' permanent collection, brings together
the work of ten contemporary artists who grapple with the imperfect shape of remembrance.
Exploring the manner in which time, emotion and popular culture influence the formation
and transformation of memories, these artists wrestle with the inevitable fallibility of
the mind's eye, opening up questions about how and why we struggle to remember in the face
of our certainty to forget. |
