A dining table and TV have made room for an ever-growing art collection in this Ottawa home
Barry Ace and Earl Truelove's Ottawa living room plays host to much of their extensive art collection.“Our aesthetic would be – believe it or not – minimalist,” Earl Truelove says. The statement is met with a hearty laugh from Truelove’s partner, visual artist Barry Ace. “Furnishing-wise, versus artwork-wise,” he clarifies.
“It’s a full-body, immersive experience,” says Rachelle Dickenson, who has spent time in the space. Dickenson, a curator, is writing her PhD dissertation and working with Ace and Truelove to develop an exhibition of their art collection, titled Synchronicity, with works organized into what they’re calling “mnemonic clusters” that “trigger a story or memory,” Ace says.
“To me that’s just a picture of Barry’s brain. That’s a reflection of his academic, curatorial, research, archivist and artistic mind,” says Truelove of his partner’s tendency to collect and draw threads between artworks, objects and individuals. “I think it’s just him realizing innately that there’s a history or story happening here that isn’t being captured.” For Truelove, these materials essentially add to the experience of the work. “I’m drawn into the art because of the dialogue,” he says.
