Curator, Educator, Writer
Christine
Boyanoski
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Christine was educated at University of Toronto, the Courtauld Institute and Birkbeck College, University of London where she received her PhD in 2002. She has expert knowledge of Canadian art and its institutions, and extensive curatorial experience in public art museums in Canada and Australia. As a curator of Canadian art at the Art Gallery of Ontario (1981-1996), Christine curated many exhibitions, including Jack Bush: Early Work, Loring and Wyle: Sculptors’ Legacy and Reading Pictures, an innovative project that opened the permanent collection to new interpretations by contemporary Canadian writers, and allowed visitors to take personalized tours of the permanent collection.
Working independently since 2004, Christine teaches modern and contemporary art and design history and theory to post-secondary students and non-specialists, as well as an introductory course in museum and gallery studies. Her recent curatorial work includes the Water Works exhibition for the Art Gallery of Hamilton (2018) and A Story of Canadian Art: As Told by the Hart House Collection (2013—15). Essays in Georgian Bay: Discovering a Unique North American Ecosystem, 2017 (Nick Eyles ed.) and The Visual Arts in Canada: The Twentieth Century, 2010 (Anne Whitelaw, Brian Foss, Sandra Paikowsky eds.) number among her published works.
