option B) Canadian Art Foundations 2010 Gallery Hop.“True North, true story, true aim: these are phrases that mean devoted, dependable, accurate — or something that in its own way is just convincingly right. For the 2010 Gallery Hop, enter the world of True. It is a word keyed to the recognition of quality, to the idea of a work that is true to itself and true to the viewer. It is the touchstone for connecting with art that has an embrace wide enough to accommodate the real and the fanciful, the exact and the loose. True art sets its own context (its own truth), and in recent contemporary art there has been a return to themes and subjects that also bear witness to the truth of the times in which we live. This new realism is framed by a wholly mediated cultural world set within an increasingly fragile natural one. Contradictions and complications abound, yet the trueness of art offers a resolving anchor that seems ever more relevant. True story.”
