Catriona Jeffries Gallery is honoured to announce that Ian Wallace is the recipient of the 2009 Molson Prize for the Arts, recognizing his outstanding lifetime achievements and ongoing contributions to the cultural and intellectual life of Canada.

The 2009 Molson Prize for the Arts will be awarded to Ian Wallace in September 2009 in Vancouver. Catriona Jeffries Gallery will concurrently be opening a solo exhibition of Ian Wallace in September, the second component of an investigation into the historical lineages of Wallace's practice since 1967. Whereas the former exhibition in 2007 explored the evolution of the monochrome, this forthcoming exhibition will track the narrative structures Wallace utlizied through film and photograhy in the 1970s.

The Molson Prize for the Arts is awarded annually to distinguished Canadians, one in the arts and the other in the social sciences and humanities. The Molson Prizes encourage Canadians honoured with this distinction to continue contributing to the cultural and intellectual heritage of Canada. The Canada Council selects the winners and administers the awards in conjunction with the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

The catalogue, Ian Wallace: A Literature of Images, is now available. This publication accompanies the trilogy of exhibitions that took place at the Witte de With, the Kunsthalle Zürich and the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf) in Fall 2008 / Spring 2009.
