Passion Over Reason / La Passion Avant La Raison: Tom Thomson & Joyce Wieland [French]

Passion. Reason. Opposites attract.

It is no secret that Tom Thomson (1877-1917) and Joyce Wieland (1930-1998) never met. Their art could not be further apart stylistically or methodologically. Thomson was a colourist, armed with brushes and oil paints. Wieland was an activist who drew upon an arsenal of wide-ranging contemporary media and whose work is ground-breaking in the annals of feminist art. Yet, Wieland also celebrated her attraction to Thomson. Passion Over Reason explores Wieland's and Canada's fascination with Thomson and his status as a cult figure of masculine mystique, while re-examining the mythology of his life story. Wieland was an equally heroic artist. She established a career as an experimental filmmaker and mixed media artist, working primarily in Toronto but also in New York.

Passion Over Reason: Tom Thomson & Joyce Wieland commemorates the art of these two Canadian-born artists, while at the same time contributing a feminist perspective to the long-held narrative of Thomson. The book mixes sexuality and gender with politics, and nature and nationalism with the formation of a collective identity.

La Passion Avant la Raison: Tom Thomson & Joyce Wieland rend hommage deux artistes r volutionnaires du Canada. Consid re cette oe uvre comme une lettre d' amour Tom Thomson, et bien au Canada -- et aussi comme conversation entre des chefs-d' oe uvre de Thomson et Joyce Wieland, pionni re d' art f ministe et contemporain au Canada. On a souvent dit de Wieland qu' elle consid rait le Canada comme une femme. Thomson tait donc pour elle le meilleur amant pour son pays bien-aim . Bien que la passion ait toujours fait partie int grante de son art, Wieland favorise le patriotisme par ses explorations de symboles canadiens.

Son amour et fascination profond pour Thomson et pour Canada se r v le dans la publication True Patriot Love, publi en conjonction avec son exposition du m me titres au Mus e des beaux-arts du Canada. L -dedans, Wieland a effectivement subsum un recueil de la flore arctique publi par le gouvernement: elle infiltrant avec l' aiguille, les annotations et les photos prises par Tom Thomson. Cette publication a plant les graines pour son film The Far Shore. L' exposition pr sentera ce film, ainsi que son film exp rimental Reason Over Passion.

En mettant l' accent sur la nationalit , le genre, et la sexualit , La Passion Avant la Raison pr sente une nouvelle perspective sur ces deux artistes.
