Tom Dean: GOOD-BYE

by Robert McLaughlin Gallery

Oshawa: Robert McLaughlin Gallery, 2025

Exhibition materials for Tom Dean's GOOD-BYE held at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, April 5 - Sept 7, 2025.

"GOOD-BYE travels back in time to map and remap the vision and ambition projected by the artist at the time, while simultaneously standing in the present--behind the passage of history--to reevaluate and reflect on its significance in today's context." (Robert McLaughlin Gallery)

The materials discuss Tom Dean's life in the early 1970's in Montreal, bringing together the artist's early conceptual artworks and archival materials.
