Grid Works was conceived as a miniature, “satellite” pendant to two concurrent shows in the main gallery (1,000,000 Grapes and Notification 1), since all used modularity as a common organizing principle
The installation consisted of four works from the university collection that ranged across three decades and encompassed various media. These included Untitled No. 4 (1976), an intaglio print by Marion Mertens; Imaginary Landscapes (1980), four miniature tapestries by Suzanne Swannie; Untitled (Basket Panel) (1978), a basket-woven wallpiece by Mi’kmaq artist, Margaret Johnson; and, connect-the-dots (1996), graphite tracings on perforated acoustic tiles, by Kelly Mark.
