A Refusal of Images – Adam Broomberg + Oliver Chanarin, Rehab Nazzal. Curated by Vicky Moufawad-Paul.
On the eve of the first anniversary of the Arab Spring, as general strikes and occupy movements have spread across the globe, A Space Gallery is pleased to present A Refusal of Images. The works in this exhibition urge us to consider a central determinant of unfolding history – the use of mobile devices to record and transmit political events. With an immediacy that our visual culture has only recently begun to grasp, these recordings often contain moments of abstraction: for example, the shaking camera aimed at the backs of others while the videographer flees from a tear gas attack. Those segments of not being able to see tell us as much as those that are clear; they tell us about being blocked and they tell us about power in that moment. These kinds of abstract images communicate something that might circumvent a system of images that are often trapped in meaning and over-determined by our viewing habits. At the same time, satellites are repeatedly taking images of the entire surface of the earth; clear, yet dangerously totalizing, contemporary images of violence are easily accessible.
In this context, curator Vicky Moufawad-Paul has assembled this exhibition as a way to interrupt our viewing practices and illustrate experiences of violence as they relate to the problems of accessibility and control. UK-based collaborative team Adam Broomberg + Oliver Chanarin and Toronto-based Rehab Nazzal decided to enter zones of conflict, Afghanistan and Palestine respectively, and to return without the images that have come to be expected. Through abstracting and reconfiguring the notion of witnessing, the artists turn their backs on what Susan Sontag calls "the consensus of images" and instead present us with a détournement of the ways that we often see zones of conflict.

By appointment only. 416 928 5904.

Giuseppe Penone: The Hidden Life Within. Sculpture installation in the Galleria Italia.

With a permanent collection of more than 79,450 works of art, the Art Gallery of Ontario is among the most distinguished art museums in North America. In 2008, with a stunning new design by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the AGO opened its doors to the public amid international acclaim. Highlights include Galleria Italia, a gleaming showcase made of wood and glass running the length of an entire city block along the Gallery's façade; and the feature staircase, spiraling up through the roof of Walker Court and into the new contemporary galleries above. From the extensive Group of Seven collection to the dramatic new African art gallery; from the cutting-edge works in the Vivian & David Campbell Centre for Contemporary Art to Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece The Massacre of The Innocents, a highlight of the celebrated Thomson Collection, there is truly something for everyone at the AGO.

Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok.
This exhibition features over 40 works by Tasseor from the 1960s to the 1990s, all from the AGO's collection. In keeping with the Gallery's efforts to provide the public with new ways of seeing art, we asked Toronto artist and Inuit art collector Ed Pien to envision the exhibition. He created display cases that echo the shape of the kayak, with shard-like forms on which the sculptures rest.

Songs of the Future: Canadian Industrial Photographs, 1858 to Today – traces the history of Canada's changing industrial landscape through the lens of some of the country's most extraordinary photographers from the past 150 years; includes more than 100 photographs by artists such as Alexander Henderson, William Notman, John Vanderpant, E. Haanel Cassidy, Ralph Greenhill, George Hunter and Edward Burtynsky.

From Renaissance to Rodin: Celebrating the Tanenbaum Gift.
The AGO celebrates the long-standing patronage of Joey and Toby Tanenbaum with an exhibition comprising highlights from the masterworks that the couple has donated to the Gallery over almost four decades.
Joey and Toby Tanenbaum's dedication to the European Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario is palpable in each of the 28 Old Master paintings and five sculptures in this exhibition. Each betrays a love of richness and visual depth, an interest in the tension between pleasure and morality, and a dedication to the needs of their city public. The sensuous marble surface of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's bust of Pope Gregory XV (1621) proclaims Rome's papal authority, while the panel The Expulsion of the Money-Changers (1480-1500), attributed to the anonymous Master of the Kress Epiphany, teaches about the boundaries between the sacred and secular with a riot of figures and movement. Hendrick Andriessen's Still Life (Vanitas) (c.1637) uses an array of fascinating objects, richly rendered, to warn its viewers of the impermanence of the senses and life. All the Tanenbaum gifts offer AGO visitors a window into the dynamic and exciting history of early modern Europe. Come explore this unique collection and share Joey and Toby Tanenbaum's passion for the richness and beauty of European art.

Goya and Gillray: Humour that Bites. Margaret Eaton Gallery.
In 1799 Goya produced Los Caprichos, a series of eighty small prints that are dark and often terrifying. Around the same time in England, Gillray created caricatures that are large, witty and brightly coloured. This exhibition explores the uncanny similarities and striking differences between two leading satirists and highly innovative printmakers.

Elliott Wilcox: Walls.
A continued fascination with the places people construct for the purpose of leisure has led Elliott Wilcox to photograph empty climbing walls for this new series. The artist's lens transforms these artificial landscapes into beautifully composed abstract works of art.
Wilcox is an accomplished young UK photographer. He was most recently winner of the London International Creative Competition in 2011, a prestigious prize awarded by a jury of art critics, curators and directors from international museums and galleries.

Domestic Vista – featuring the works of Tonya Corkey, Nicholas Crombach, Jeff Devine and Charlotte Stewardson.
Four artists from OCAD University have come together to bring you a meditation on a person's role in the varied environments of nature, family and how we might relate to completely abstract forms. In each work, the human form is made obvious or is suggested and then related to the question of how we interact with our social or physical environment.

Corkin Gallery presents the work of international contemporary artists in its five exhibition spaces. Our program is defined by a concern for contemporary issues crossing the boundaries of all media.
Environmental issues run through the work of veteran conceptualist Iain Baxter&, who creates provocative installations and was a pioneer of conceptual photography, and Thaddeus Holownia, who comes from a strong photographic tradition. Their interest in both the environment and sense of place are shared by William Christenberry, who produces serial photography of southern architecture over long periods of time.
Similarly, Barbara Astman, in her recent digital photography, addresses the role of the accumulation of images in our media-obsessed culture. Several of our artists work across different media, including Ramón Serrano, who paints stark images of Havana architecture after photographs, questioning the veracity of information and the double-life of contemporary Cubans under Castro, and Marc Séguin, whose large-scale contemporary history paintings based on news images of plane crashes verge on abstraction.
Painters David Urban and François Xavier Saint-Pierre work between abstraction and landscape, while Frank Mädler's large-scale photographs seem to confront painterly tradition. Issues of identity run through the photography and video installations of artists Lori Newdick, Anastasia Khoroshilova and Sharon Switzer.
The gallery maintains a dynamic exhibition program and participates in international art fairs. In addition to our contemporary program, the gallery presents photography from both the 19th and 20th centuries which demonstrates the ongoing dialogue between contemporary artists and their historical precedents.

Words, Textures, and other Silly Things – new paintings by Ramón Serrano.
Using imagery of his native Havana, Serrano explores psychological displacement as a Cuban expatriate. Images of Havana landmarks, schools, and public buildings are edged towards abstraction to show the increasing distance between the artist and the country from which he emigrated. The paintings are like memories seen through a jewel-like filter, suggesting a separation between his present experience and the world he left behind.

Frank Mädler: New Works – featuring works from the series, Basic Motion, Gold, Shine and Wiesen. Mädler calls attention to the relationship between distance, time, technology and movement through an ambiguous approach to visual representation. The Leipzig-based artist takes spectators on a visual journey and is able to create an atmosphere that arouses emotion.

Rebecca Anweiler: I Wish You Were Here – new landscapes.
Anweiler has started to paint landscapes, picture-perfect landscapes, iconic images from across Canada. Some places she has been to, many she has not. The photo sources are from coffee table books and postcards. They disclose nothing of the true shape and condition of our country and the people living in it. With a nod to the style of the Group of Seven, this work is about seeing paradise and nothing else. (East Gallery).

Susan Low-Beer: About Face – new work.
About Face started with a form that Low-Beer made and decided at the time not to use when creating her last installation titled State of Grace (2008). That installation dealt with full child-sized figures. Here just the head is the focus for her textural and psychological explorations. The heads form a community. Each head reads as a metaphor. They are made from the same mold but each is an individual. Their personalities inhabit our world and speak a language that is ambiguous and complex. (West Gallery).

3RD & 4TH FLOOR GALLERIES –

Hard Twist 2011: Obsession – 6th Annual Juried Show of Textile-Based Art – presents works that reflect or explore obsessive ideas, acts or fixations through medium, technique or concept. Textiles attract obsessions. Fibre's infinite detail, repetition and complexity seduce intense focus and preoccupation and draw the artist into a place where time evaporates in pursuit of the promise of perfection – a perfection that is eternally one stitch, one wrap, one bead, one twist away. Hard Twist has become an important annual event within the Canadian textile community, as well as a signature event for the Gladstone.
2011 participants: George-Ann Bowers, Kate Busby, Maggie Butterfield Dickinson, Robert Davidovitz, Holly Gabel, Sarah Gotowka, Miriam Grenville, Philip Hare, Peter Hiers, Anna Kuchel Rainowitz, Ariane Lavoie, Laura MacAulay, Meghan Macdonald, John Paul Morabito, Shawna Munro, Hitoko Ikada, David Ross, Rachael Speirs, Kelley Stewart, Barbara Sutherland, Allison Tunis, W Collective, Sarah Waldman-Engel, Jennie Wood, Erin Wootten, Nancy Yule.

Flavio Trevisan: Museum of the Represented City. Curator: Mona Filip.
Staging an immersive environment within the gallery space, Toronto artist Flavio Trevisan creates an ephemeral “museum of the present,” reflecting on the current state of the city. Inside, the visitor's experience is shaped both by the configuration of the space itself and by the objects displayed. A series of sculptural works present a fragmented yet multifaceted mapping of Toronto's built history, inviting the viewer to retrace familiar paths and discover surprising new ways to explore the cityscape. Examining planned and idiosyncratic urban development, Trevisan's maps and playful multiples reveal the city as a collection of places successively shaped by and reshaping public ideals.

Libby Hague: Gravity Drawings: more light / less darkness.
To show the development and migration of ideas, this exhibition shifts between the model of a curated show and a studio visit. By cross-referencing work with its generative sources, it tracks the excitement of parameter shifts, sharing the logic behind the hybrids. Demystifying the process says "This is how I think" and "This is what I thought".
Maria Gabankova: Memento Mori.
Gabankova's recent work in this exhibition responds in part to the research she did in 2011 in Kuks, a baroque architectural complex in the Czech Republic. Fascinated by the genius loci of Kuks she decided to interpret the theme of Virtues and Vices, baroque sculptures by Mathias Braun. She is nterested in how the divine mystery can be plunged into most ordinary, day-to-day appearance (Pascal Quignard: Georges de la Tour). How the figure of Mary Magdalene with her passions and contemplation is present in every ordinary woman of today. How is the reality of death thought of in our contemporary society.

Annie MacDonell: Originality and the Avant Garde (On Art and Repetition).
The title of this exhibition borrows from the 1981 Rosalind Krauss text which questioned the avant garde's attachment to notions of authenticity and its denial of its own foundation in processes of repetition. The terms of the production and reception of art have shifted since the writing of that text, through both the foregrounding of appropriation as a critical art practice, and the rise of sampling at all levels of cultural production. Appropriating and repetition have become central to the way art and ideas circulate, and yet the cult of originality still defines our valuation of the contemporary in art. Through a series of doublings and transpositions, the exhibition investigates the potential of repetition as a model for generating meaning. Photographs, film, reflection, projection, the space of the studio and the space of the gallery are superimposed in a proliferation of analogues that take for subject their own state of interconnection.

Pierre Leguillon features Diane Arbus: A Printed Retrospective, 1960-1971.
French artist Pierre Leguillon brings together all the images commissioned to the New York photographer Diane Arbus by the Anglo-Saxon press in the 1960s. The exhibition presents the original pages of the magazines which correspond to the first appearance of these photographs in publications such as Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Nova, and The Sunday Times Magazine. While some of these photographs have become iconic, other have yet to be discovered. The variety of subjects ranges from anonymous to celebrity portraits, from children's fashion to several photographic essays in which the images are credited or commented on by the photographer herself. Mercer Union acknowledges the support of the Canada Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council. This exhibition has been generously supported by the Consulate General of France, Toronto.

Main Space – Tasman Richardson: Necropolis.
Curated by Rhonda Corvese. Presented by the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.
Necropolis is an immersive multi-media meditation on the nature of video and its strong affiliations with death culture. Consisting of six installations housed within a twisting, darkened superstructure, Necropolis channels visitors through stages of erosion, narcissism, acceleration, idolatry, self-doubt, and oblivion.

Project Space – NGC@MOCCA – Spectral Landscape – Peter Doig/ Tim Gardner/ Sarah Anne Johnson.
Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art and the National Gallery of Canada.
The expression "losing yourself in the wilderness" takes on new meaning in works by Peter Doig, Tim Gardner, and Sarah Anne Johnson. Here ambiguous, hallucinatory vistas collide with sublime, pastoral scenes, and the idea of the ruggedness of the hinterland clashes with its ultimate fragility. In each case, the realism of the works is interrupted by a sense of sheer uncanny. These multifarious landscapes mix autobiography with illusion and the banal with the extraordinary, offering striking images that suggest a shift in our perceived relationship with the natural world.

Media / Retail Space – Daisuke Takeya: GOD Loves Japan. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.
GOD Loves Japan is a time-sensitive installation memorializing the earthquake / tsunami disaster that took place in Japan on March 11th, 2011. This installation intends to raise awareness of Japan's long-term recovery needs and will encourage viewers to re-evaluate the meaning of love and empathy in our time.

Stan Douglas: Entertainment: Selections from Midcentury Studio – an exhibition of new photographic work by Vancouver artist Stan Douglas.
The work in the exhibition continues the artist's practice of reexamining historical, site-specific layers, particularly the imaging of postwar North American diversions from cabaret to sports. The body of work is largely a meticulous studio project in which Douglas assumes the lens of a photographer who takes on various jobs from Weegee-esque photojournalism to advertising. A social system – and an economic system – of entertainment is revealed here in the artist's inhabitation of a historical fiction. Achieving verisimilitude, Douglas reconstructed a studio using authentic equipment as well as hired actors to produce staged photographs that emulate the period's obsession with noir-ish drama, magic, dance, sporting events, curious artifacts, fashion, "caught-in-the-moment" scenes, gambling, and, of course, shifting technologies. Presenting sponsor: Rogers Communications.

Coming After. Artists: Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz, Aleesa Cohene, Glen Fogel, Onya Hogan-Finlay, Christian Holstad, Danny Jauregui, Adam Garnet Jones, Jean-Paul Kelly, Tim Leyendekker, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, James Richards, Emily Roysdon, Dean Sameshima, Jonathan VanDyke, Susanne M. Winterling.
Featuring artists from New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Toronto, and beyond, Coming After is a response to the recent renewal of interest in the period from the mid-1980s to early 1990s that was decisive for North American cultural politics. This time period witnessed the (first of many) Culture Wars, the birth of "queer" as an identity and theory, and the rise of a direct-action AIDS activist movement – epitomized by ACT UP – fighting a new plague that was devastating art, queer and communities of colour. While these years were incredibly traumatic, they also represented a galvanizing, dynamic moment for queer citizenship – one that is arguably haunting our present and our future.
Support donors: Liza Mauer & Andrew Sheiner.

Menagerie.
A series of anthropomorphic illustrations, Menagerie is an art show that engages the imaginative exploration of anthropomorphism – the attribution of human qualities to nonhumans. Through visual study, twenty up-and-coming artists explore the idea of anthropomorphism as a form of self-extension. As we "humanize" nonhuman entities, personal relationships are established, and a special – sometimes disturbing – attachment is then applied to the animal or object. This can be seen from our naming of pets, to drawing faces on inanimate objects, to shouting at a car when it has broken down. Through us, the animal / object takes on its own humanity. The result of this visual exploration is a modern bestiary – a collection of creatures, human and nonhuman, situated and interacting in contemporary society. Please join us at the opening reception!

Winston Link, Angus McBean, Larry Morris, W. Eugene Smith, Frederick Sommer, Dennis Stock, Charles Swedlund, George S. Zimbel, and Gabor Szilasi.

Veiled – Andrew McPhail, Grace Ndiritu & Tazeen Qayuum. Curated by Sarah Quinton.
Veiled examines the act of veiling the body not only as a material and physical gesture, but also as an emotional and personal process. Artists Andrew McPhail, Grace Ndiritu and Tazeen Qayyum use the idea of a veil as a poetic device for the investigation of public vs. private space, protection and intimacy. This exhibition focuses on three contemporary artists whose work includes video, performance, sculpture and installation, building on the Textile Museum's investigations of the flow of contemporary expression in a globalized context.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Toronto Sculpture Garden has commissioned Gold, Silver & Lead by Jed Lind. The work is a monumental stack, 20' high, of abstracted first generation Honda Civic cars which rise above the viewer in repetitive succession, suggesting both infinity and the wholeness of a finite form.

Mr. Brainwash – Toronto / Canada debut – Mr. Brainwash is the moniker of Los Angeles-based Street Pop artist Thierry Guetta. He has spent the better part of the last decade attempting to make the ultimate Street Art documentary. Meanwhile, inspired by his subjects, he started hitting the streets, from Los Angeles to Paris, with spray-painted stencils and posters of his Pop Art-inspired images.
He has rapidly emerged as a renowned figure on the international Street Art scene.
MBW's first solo show, Life is Beautiful in LA in June 2008, featured over 100 works in a 15,000-sq.ft. TV studio and had fans queuing around the block to get in on its opening night. In that show MBW used icons of consumer culture and celebrity and mixed them with early Pop Art images to create his own Pop Art and graffiti hybrid.
Originally scheduled to open for only two weeks, the exhibition was extended for three months, attracting more than 30,000 visitors.
Mr. Brainwash's work continued to garner recognition from art collectors and Street Art enthusiasts alike. In 2009, Madonna approached him to design the cover of her greatest hits compilation, Celebration.
On Feb 14, 2010, Mr. Brainwash made his New York solo debut as he unveiled Icons, a 10,000-sq.ft. exhibition in the heart of Manhattan's Meatpacking District. The show featured paintings and silkscreens of world icons, portraits of music legends. The sold-out show was extended until Sep 2010 under the name, Icon Remix. Not only were major collectors acquiring Mr. Brainwash's works but so were prestigious auction houses such as Christie's and Phillips.
Considered to be one of the most prolific and talked-about artists of today, Mr. Brainwash is also the subject of Banksy's documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. Using Guetta's Street Art footage, Banksy eventually turned the camera on the only man who ever filmed him. The collaboration resulted in a remarkable documentary that is part personal journey and part an exposé of the art world, with its mind-altering mix of hot air and hype.
Gallery One is bringing in new work, including portraits of Grace Kelly that were created to complement the exhibition, Grace Kelly: From Movie Star to Princess at the TIFF Bell Lightbox (Nov 4, 2011 - Jan 22, 2012). Don't miss it!

In this group exhibition gallery artists share with us their most personal points of view through a varied mélange of subjects using abstraction. Manning's works in mixed media (including bleach) are a satirical play on some of his most recent personal experiences. He is joined by James, Koster, House and Ennis whose unique interpretations collectively show us the diversity so abundant in the abstract genre today (works in oil, acrylic, mixed media and on paper).

Works by Teodora Pica – three related series of drawings and paintings created in the artist's “hydroponics lab.” In this artistic laboratory Pica uses a “hydroponics kit” to grow “mood flowers” through a combination of light, water and nutrients regulated by the artist's creative moods. Pica symbolically represents this nurturing environment for moods and emotions in her brash, exuberant floral- and sun-inspired pieces.

The studio is non-denominational, was pioneered, and is led by Isabel Fryzberg, an occupational therapist and practicing artist.
Open five days a week, the Studio provides a nonjudgmental environment where each person is treated as an artist first, rather than as a patient, and is encouraged to reach their highest skill level and potential through purposeful and inspiring creative art initiatives.
The Studio is actively involved in mental health research and in community and educational outreach as a means of disseminating information and reducing the stigma of mental illness.

In the End a Good Story is All That Remains. Eight New York Artists Figuratively Speaking.
Curated by Edward Rubin.
Participating artists: Ernest Concepcion, Mary Hrbacek, Heidi Johnson, Lori Nelson, Jason Stopa, Scott Walden, Ejay Weiss, Steve Zolin.
Fran Hill Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition featuring the recent work of eight "storytelling" New York-based artists, each one unique in their focus, concerns, and manner of presentation. While much art on view today is about spectacle and requires three seconds to both digest and forget, the art and artists in "In the End a Good Story..." linger lovingly, as well as imaginatively, on the wonders of everyday life, the so-called intricate workings of the world around us. The ages of the artists in this exhibition range from young and emerging, to mid-career and "old master", the latter in a neo-classical sense.

Claire Desjardins: Ebb & Flow.
"I wish to explore the concept of my own existence in this common space we call earth: sometimes I blend and flow with the environment that surrounds me; sometimes I feel as though I am floating in a completely separate space of my own. Often, I simply exist in between these two realities, hovering on the edge, much like the penumbra, between the light and the darkness, observing life's ebb and flow."
As the daughter of artists, Desjardins grew up painting and taking art lessons. She took some time away from painting to build a career in graphic design; this training positively influenced her strong painting compositions. Desjardins now devotes all of her creative energy to painting. "I started to get back into painting a few years ago and it's been a wonderful change. People seem to like my emphasis on bold colours." Desjardins lived in the Caribbean for many years. As a result, the sun-drenched, vibrant colours of the tropics seem almost to burst from her canvases. In addition to her time in the Caribbean, Desjardins has traveled extensively throughout North America and Europe, making stops in Southeast Asia and North Africa, eventually returning to her hometown of Montreal. Her travels have had a significant influence; her paintings are alive with an unfettered sense of exploration and bliss.
Montreal-based Claire Desjardins is a prolific visual artist whose recent exhibitions have taken place in Montreal, Vermont and Ottawa. Generally inspired by artists such as Wolf Kahn, Emily Mason, Nicolas de Staël and Mark Rothko, Desjardins adds a street art immediacy to these historical influences. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections around the world.
"[Claire's work encompasses] the exuberance and the moments of quiet reflection embodied by the artist. Propelled by the intricacies of colour and form, Desjardins creates masterful compositions that hide stories left to the viewer to write. The seduction takes place through a riot (sometimes just under the surface) of rich hues; a kernel of narrative peeps out, coy, between many textures and moods. Desjardins is a generous storyteller and encourages the viewer to run with the emotions and energies stirred up by the canvas." Sabine Modder – Managing Editor, Mocoloco.com.

Matthew Varey: Home.
Colour is the dominant force within Matthew Varey's recent abstract Bunker paintings. The works are influenced by the evolution of military fortifications, the advent of modern condominium towers, European travel, and family history. Varey's use of colour and texture create a strong visual tension between the dynamic and static, exterior and interior, form and function. To that end, several bunkers appear to be dismantled, others overbuilt with numerous teetering roofs and surfaces. These “fortifications” begin to vibrate, float or dissolve into the whiteness. The brushwork serves to free the colour from the structure, suspending interpretation of what the structures are, or their use, allowing for a fresh experience and examination. The original function of the bunkers ceases to exist as the structures become a living part of Varey's colour field environments.
In considering the bunkers, Tamas Dobozy states, "There is, finally, no real point of entry (despite the open door), because there is nowhere to enter into, no one reading of the purpose of these sculptures or buildings, except for the advent of interpretation itself. Varey reminds us that interpretation is also a kind of bunker, a way of substituting meaning for perception, ideas for experience, history for the purity of a present instant."
Matthew Varey was born in Hamilton in 1968 and graduated from McMaster University's Visual Arts program in 1992. Varey had his first international solo exhibition in Europe in 1995 and has since exhibited at the Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa in Venice, Art Cologne, Art Miami and the Toronto International Art Fair (Art Toronto), as well as galleries in Greece and across Canada. His work is held in corporate and private collections in the United States, Korea, England, Spain, Greece, Germany and Canada. Varey lives and works in Toronto.
