This is a twelve year retrospective exhibition of Scott's work. For Scott, one of the best ways to create art was through dialogue; his art depends on context, on all kinds of unspoken information shared by the viewer and artist concerningf the world in general. He is devoted to the use of technical components in his work as well as the everyday forms of art-making such as black paint on paper. Included are John Scott journal articles, "Writing for Canadian Art (1988-1991)," and a number of journal and newspaper articles "About John Scott."

Joan Murray, an independent curator and art historian, is considered one of the most accessible of Canadian art writers and has studied and exhibited Tom Thomson for four decades.

Murray was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy in 1992 and has been honoured with the Senior Award from the Association of Cultural Executives, the Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Ontario Association of Art Galleries and the Order of Ontario.
