The Tree Museum 1998 to 2012
EJ Lightman and Anne O’Callaghan have curated exhibitions at the Tree Museum (Muskoka/Ontario) as well as off-site locations since 1998. During this period, Lightman and O’Callaghan researched and met with artists and galleries across Ontario, Asia and Mexico. As well as inviting artists, they worked alongside to create the work, providing support and advice on installation techniques, site selection and, in many cases, assisting artists conceptually.
For both Lightman and O’Callaghan, the Tree Museum was a totally immersive project. They wrote essays and dug ditches, repaired roads and produced press releases/promoted the exhibitions and artists.
