Winter 2010 Exhibition Listings
TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL
Curated by Patrick Macaulay and Sally McKay
Curators Macaulay and McKay include the works of artists Libby Hague, Doug Jarvis, Gareth Lichty, Abigale Miller, Ellissa Roos, Patrick Ingram and Allison Rowe to create Too Cool for School. This
exhibit follows-up on the Too Cool for School Art & Science Exhibition and Fair that took place in May 2010. Developed through Harbourfront Centre’s national commissioning programme, Fresh Ground new works, this new series of installations will engage visitors in a unique experience of the worlds of art and science.
THE FAREWELL
Barbara Balfour
Balfour has created an installation that focuses on champagne and taste, inspired by the fact that champagne has one taste in the mouth and leaves another after it has been swallowed. This concept is referred to as “the farewell”. Balfour is a Toronto-based artist and an associate professor in the Department of Visual Arts at York University.
unREAL
Curated by Patrick Macaulay
The inspiration for this exhibit came from use of the term “unreal” in everyday speech. Macaulay then turned his interest to examining how artists today alter the perception of what is “real” within their work. unREAL features the work of artists Sto, Jason Dunda, Tyler Clark Burke, Jason van Horne, Christy Langer, Jennie Suddick, Jennifer Rose Sciarrino and the slomotion.
HIVE
Kristiina Lahde
Lahde once again experiments with transforming familiar objects into sculptural forms. Using shapes inspired by nature, she has taken telephone books and transformed them into architectural structures. She has constructed a honeycomb with the telephone books to juxtapose the social behaviours of humans and of insects.
MEISAI 2010
Kotama Bouabane
Bouabane’s portrait series documents teenagers at a Japanese anime convention in Montreal. The attendees at the “Otakuthon” Japanese Anime Festival often come dressed up as their favourite anime characters. Kotama Bouabane examines the challenge of finding one’s identity during the awkward stage of adolescence and the ability to assume the identity of a confident superhero temporarily. (Image below is by Kotama Bouabane - Oz #8, 2010. Archival Digital Print. 40" x 26.5")
WITH:IN
Pamela Ritchie
Artist-jeweller Pamela Ritchie tells a story with her pieces using colour, shape and line. Forging them out of precious metals and various other materials, Ritchie’s With:in speaks of myth and matter, histories and secrets, detail and patience. (Her brooch is pictured above.)
COLLABORATIVE PLAY BY PLAY
Micah Adams and Niko Dimitrijvic
This collaborative exhibition created by Adams and Dimitrijvic features works that were individually made, but collectively assembled. The aim of this collaboration was to produce pieces that could easily fit into the work created by the other artist. Micah Adams’ metal work completes the narrative of Niko Dimitrijvic’s glass work and vice versa.
CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS
GRAND GESTURES
Jen Hutton
Jen Hutton creatively uses thousands of thumbtacks to create an installation spelling out the title of the work.
