Title: Who's afraid of purple, orange and green?
Description: "In 2006, Canadian academic Mark Cheetham noted that abstraction, such as neo-formalism and neo-modernism, was failing to attract many female practitioners. In 2015, a neo-modernist aesthetic is notably evident in the practices of many female artists working across Canada. The intent of 'Who's Afraid of Purple, Orange and Green?' is to bring together a breadth of works by some of these artists, to contemplate their works in relation to one another, and to consider their myriad responses to the hegemony of twentieth century formalism's historical narrative."
