Joyce Wieland, Heart On

Celebrating the radical art-making of Joyce Wieland (1930-1998), this large-scale exhibition offers an in-depth look at one of the most influential Canadian artists of her time. This ambitious career retrospective – her first in 35 years – is also the most comprehensive, and it positions Wieland as a critical international figure of 20th-century art and film. Spotlighting the concerns that informed Wieland’s creative output, namely her engagement with feminism, social justice, and ecology, this exhibition explores her unique approach to art-making and the enduring relevance of her oeuvre to contemporary issues. The exhibition is co-organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
