Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies

Ongoing Thick as Thieves brings together works forged in intense and often covert forms of connection. Drawn largely from the MacKenzie Art Gallery’s Permanent Collection, this selection of works invites us to consider how themes of fidelity, mutual desire and fraternity formed by circumstance or power have held the interest of contemporary artists. Organized and circulated by The MacKenzie Art Gallery and curated by Crystal Mowry. When our eyes touch features the portraiture of Peter Whyte and Catharine Robb Whyte. Tracing their careers from early days in art school through the formation of their relationship, the show explores themes of intimacy, agency and subject position.
