	DORVAL MURAL
		Curnoe drew inspiration from such popular culture as comic books and dissolved the boundaries between life and art by meticulously documenting every aspect of his life and his creative process.
		Curnoe's portraits are interspersed with written quotations, beginning with an excerpt from his journal that serves as a kind of overture to the mural as a whole, stencilled on the painting surface.
		Curnoe provocatively offered to obscure the offending texts and images with fl bars, a brilliant riposte, but this suggestion was rejected by the Department of Transport.

	Deeds/Nations - Preface
		Greg's work, then, is a major contribution towards bridging the gap between the history of Native individuals and communities and the history of Native and European "groups" in southwestern Ontario.
		As Frank Davey mentioned in the Forward, the intent of Greg Curnoe's research was to learn about and document the people who were the former occupants of the land comprising the Curnoe home at 38 Western Street in the City of London, southwestern Ontario.
		Just as Greg Curnoe's work has demonstrated that the history of any cultural "group" is incomplete without an appreciation of "community" and the people who make up that community, so too is a historical compilation of individuals incomplete without some general historical context.

	When Form Becomes Content
		Curnoe reminds us that the city of Bremen and his own artwork both have a real existence in time, separate from their function as 'settings' for literary or artistic content.
		Curnoe has framed some of the works in the Wynick/Tuck exhibition with used plastic which occasionally bears faint, incised lines of letters apparently cut for other signs by the company who sold Curnoe the plastic.
		Curnoe's affinity with film directors, particularly those who work in the film noir genre (several of whom are included in A List of Directors and Dubs, another work from the spring of 1987) is revealed by the rhetorical question that appears at the end of a text in two works in the exhibition.

	Agnes Etherington Art Centre - Objects
		Greg Curnoe is a significant figure in the history of Canadian art, known for both his outspoken views on regionalism and anti-Americanism and his highly personal approach to art-making.
		Curnoe was a firm believer in the importance of art emerging from local experiences, rather than being transplanted from a larger artistic centre.
		Greg Curnoe studied at the Doon School of Art and the Ontario College of Art but felt excluded from the notion of art as high culture that was being espoused.

		Greg Curnoe was central to the art scene of London, Ontario, from the early 1960s until his sudden death in a cycling accident in 1992.
		Like Curnoe, many of the artists represented here advocated a regional approach to artmaking, depicting the details of their immediate surroundings and exploring local and personal histories in their work.
		A passionate activist, Curnoe influenced artists of his own generation with his political strategies, but he particularly held sway with the artists who emerged on the London scene in the 1970s and 80s, such as Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner.

		Greg and Murray being two artists for whom I had the greatest admiration for, even being lucky enough to have worked for and with Murray on his project “Van Gogh’s Bedroom” a few years before.
		In many ways, Greg and Murray were responsible for me even believing that one could survive a life as an artist and inspired me to focus on alternatives to the then apathy of Disco and my dedication to the early roots of Punk in Canada.
		When Greg Curnoe died in 1992, after being killed on his bike in a tragic car accident, I got to see a bit more of Hugh at all the events commemorating Greg’s memory, some of which I helped organize at the time.

	The Moustache: Memories of Greg Curnoe
		I remember that Greg Curnoe in my imagination, when we werent around each other, was always about a centimetre shorter than I was, but when we were together it looked to me as though he was about a centimetre taller than I was.
		Greg would usually ask questions that were fitted to the place they lived, what was going on in the arts, as we say, there.

	Deeds/Nations: Directory of First Nations Individuals in South-Western Ontario 1750 - 1850
		Greg, an internationally renowned Canadian artist, had always been interested in the world around him in London, Ontario, and going beyond the conventional.
		To do this, Greg began to search every historical source he could get his hands on, published and manuscript, and began compiling a list of the people he came across in those sources, cross-listing the same names that appeared in multiple sources.
		And while Greg's work focused on the communities of southwestern Ontario, there is no reason why this database cannot expand to include individuals and communities from throughout the Great Lakes basin and beyond.

	Robert Fulford's column about Greg Curnoe
		Greg Curnoe, whose glowing and wonderfully various work is celebrated by an exhibition opening Friday at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, won a place in cultural history with a one-man revolution that affected the practice of art across Canada.
		The AGO exhibition that Dennis Reid has organized, Greg Curnoe: Life & Stuff, is so densely packed with images and sound that it recalls the Happenings of the 1960s.
		Curnoe often tried to present his art as simple and direct, but there was nothing at all that was simple about the man himself.

		In addition to being an accomplished artist, Curnoe founded a magazine and an art gallery, both called Region, in reference to his belief that the best art comes out of a strong identification with a place or a region.

	FFWD Weekly - October 23, 2003
		Twenty-five years ago, however, when London, Ontario artist Greg Curnoe posed this question in painted bold text in his work National Referendum Question, it tapped directly into a fervent discussion of nationalism occurring throughout Canada.
		Curnoe’s Mariposa Ten Speed combined his ongoing obsession with bicycles with his political stance.
		Text figured strongly in both artist’s works, but where Curnoe’s text was based in graphic conventions and intellectual theory, Lemoyne was more spontaneous.

	Greg Curnoe -- Brick Books
		Before his tragic death in 1992, Greg Curnoe had submitted to Brick Books a manuscript based on extraordinarily detailed research into the history of 38 Weston, his address in London, Ontario.
		The result is a journal/collage that traces the occupancy of that one small plot of land hundreds of years back into aboriginal times when land in this country was not plotted according to the laws of geometry.

		Greg Curnoe was a London, Ontario-born artist who died tragically in a cycling accident in 1992.
		Transport Canada commissioned Curnoe to paint a mural for Montreal's Dorval Airport in 1967.
		As we entered the hallway, it popped into my head that we were entering "The Twilight Zone"; hence the words "You are entering The Twilight Zone." Greg Curnoe painted what was in his surroundings, and at the time I painted this issue, it was hot in my surroundings.

		In the case of Curnoe (1936-1992) and Lemoyne (1941-1998) this juxtaposition provides a window to the emergence of political conscience.
		Curnoe was committed to the value of regional cultures as distinct from a monolithic national culture, especially a national American culture.
		A partir des oeuvres de Curnoe (1936-1992) et Lemoyne (1941-1998) Johnson travaille à relever des aspects relativement inédits de leur contribution mutuelle à la question des nationalismes qui ont émergé depuis plus de quarante ans.

	NOW On / Culture / Art Reviews / Mar 8 - 14, 2001
		But when Greg Curnoe was mowed down by a pickup truck while riding with his London, Ontario, cycling club, the ardent multidisciplinary artist was guaranteed the legendary status that his deeply personal and proudly political work should have earned for him, even without his spectacular death.
		The Art Gallery of Ontario's Life And Stuff, curated by Curnoe's personal friend Dennis Reid in what might be the most personal exhibit ever staged by the AGO's chief curator, presents Curnoe's art as it must be remembered: brilliant, beautiful, defiant, constantly searching and deeply emotional.
		Now that Dada-inspired anarchy is back in vogue, and the Nihilist Spasm Band that Curnoe gigged with are playing venues like Art System, it feels like the timing for this show is perfect.

	Finding the Crashes of the Future
		One of the cyclists, Greg Curnoe, a popular local artist, was killed.
		The first instinct when investigating accidents such as the one that killed Curnoe, is to look for some dramatic impairment in the driver such as alcohol or drugs.
		In the Curnoe case, some of the cyclists recall a striking visual effect in a nearby field as a barn appeared to be floating in flood waters from the Thames river.

		Although Curnoe had been planning one more research trip - to Detroit with his friend Province of Ontario archaeologist Neal Ferris to try to recover first-person narratives or speeches by various Wyandot chiefs who had signed Surrender No. 2- he was very near to closing the Deeds/Nations project.

		On numerous occasions on which the sources are ambiguous, or allow inferences that Curnoe had been unable to confirm, he has inserted a question mark after the ‘questionable’ fact.

		It is a splendid record of the work and life of a singularly significant Canadian artist who left a resonant legacy of the value of attachment to place.
		Greg Curnoe was known as a Canadian nationalist—more specifically, as a regionalist—which was reflected in his abiding belief in the importance of working with and from a particular locale.
		From this base he created a body of work notable for its exuberant energy and fearless self-revelation, for its effervescent, saturated colour and deep involvement with questions of personal consequence and meaning.
