Curnoe attended H. B. Beal Secondary School (1954–56) and the Doon School of Art (1956) before attending the Ontario College of Art (1957–60), where he failed his final year.

Returning to London, Ontario, Curnoe began to work in the studio.

He found meaning in popular culture and his own cultural roots that addressed the disillusion he felt with established culture after leaving art school.

1960

which, beginning in the 1960s, made London, Ontario, an important centre for artistic production in Canada.

While his oeuvre chronicled his daily experience in a variety of media, it was grounded in twentieth-century art movements, especially Dada, with its emphasis on nihilism and anarchism, Canadian politics, and popular culture.

He is remembered for brightly coloured works that often incorporate text to support his strong Canadian patriotism, sometimes expressed as anti-Americanism, as well as his activism in support of Canadian artists.

1961

He founded Region magazine in 1961 and Region Gallery in 1962.

1965

He co-founded the Canadian noise band the Nihilist Spasm Band in 1965.

1968

In 1968, Jack Chambers with the aid of Kim Ondaatje, Tony Urquhart, Curnoe and John Boyle, founded Canadian Artists' Representation to serve as a union for artists in Canada.

1973

Curnoe co-founded the Forest City Gallery, an artist-run centre, in 1973.

1976

He represented Canada at the Venice Biennale in 1976 and was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1981, which subsequently toured across Canada.

While on a club ride with the London Centennial Wheelers, Curnoe was killed by a distracted driver in a pickup truck that plowed into the group of 12 cyclists on Highway 2, just outside Delaware, Ontario.

He was killed and six others were seriously injured and taken to hospital.

The driver was charged with four-counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and one-count of dangerous driving causing death.

1994

The driver was eventually acquitted of all charges on 13 January 1994.
