The Project
Through a commitment to exhibiting culturally important works on paper, the Burnaby Art Gallery has developed a traveling exhibition, publication and website to showcase the work of Canadian artist Takao Tanabe. The exhibition Chronicles of Form and Place: Works on Paper by Takao Tanabe held at the Burnaby Art Gallery from November 25, 2011 to January 22, 2012, is a retrospective of the artist’s works on paper – many never before seen by the public. The exhibition will continue as it tours to McMaster Museum of Art in Hamilton, Ontario, The Nanaimo Art Gallery in Nanaimo, BC and The Reach in Abbotsford, BC. Incorporated in this website is a full image gallery of Tanabe’s works on paper, a selection of texts, programs and activities for educators and exclusive footage of the artist’s studio. It is with great pleasure that we present this website as a resource and an opportunity to examine Takao Tanabe’s rich history of art-making.
The Burnaby Art Gallery gratefully acknowledges the funding support of the City of Burnaby, British Columbia Arts Council, the department of Canadian Heritage Museums Assistance Program, the Vancouver Foundation and our exhibition partner the McMaster Museum of Art.
