Joyce Wieland Independent Canadian Art Show
Guelph, Canada: University of Guelph, 1972.

A year after her National Gallery exhibition True Patriot Love [below, bottom], Joyce Weiland held an exhibition at the University of Guelph gallery, with a similar title: Independent Canadian Art Show. 

The exhibition also included her controversial knitted wool work Flag Arrangement, from 1970–71. Barry Lord, an arts writer, curator and cultural nationalist, described the piece as “burlesque” and "a slap in the face to patriotic Canadians.”
