  • Project space update: Nuit Blanche, new hours, next event!

    IMG_3585-2

    Happy October, everyone! We’re into week 3 with Of Other Faces, and the show continues to get a great response from everyone who visits. Manuel Saiz’s video installation featuring actors moving in synchrony with animals is a compelling (and often funny) study in nature v. culture. Victoria Fu’s elegiac film projection restores the pathos to the selfie phenomenon, while Marta Ryczko’s transformed portraits elicit equal parts fascination and repulsion. And Andrea Cohen and Wiska Radkiewicz’s collaborative sound composition is akin to an aural hall of mirrors. Don’t miss this international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary exhibition, which continues to October 25th!

    Victoria Fu, Self-Portrait in Sweden (still), 2005

Of Other Faces features sound art, video, and photography by Andrea Cohen and Wiska Radkiewicz (Paris, New York), Victoria Fu (Los Angeles), Marta Ryczko (Toronto), and Manuel Saiz (Berlin), five artists whose works employ strategies of mirroring and doubling to investigate the paradoxical nature of our dualistic world. Of Other Faces will be the first exhibition in Canada to feature work by international artists Victoria Fu and Manuel Saiz.

  • Editions+Events: The Order of Things | Leif Low-Beer

    LLBE_poster_web_border

    What a great first week with our spring exhibition, The Order of Things | Leif Low-Beer. At the opening, we launched the second in our series of limited edition prints (below), as well as a large-format poster featuring Low-Beer’s sketch for his beautiful wall-based installation at TYPOLOGY (above). Both the print and poster highlight the artist’s interest in combining an astonishing diversity of hand-drawn abstractions into larger compositions that become faces, figures, couples, and crowds.

  • Collage Party results: Everyone’s a winner!

    all-collages_6322

    Last week’s Artscape Equinox event was a smashing success — 400 people walked through the front doors and explored the many open studios, workshops, and performances going on throughout the building’s four floors. On the topmost floor it was a quieter scene, but TYPOLOGY had a steady stream of visitors, including the intrepid subset who rose gamely to the collage challenge. Above, a shot of the evening’s art bounty, which impresses with its variety of images and approaches.
