Art Toronto 2016
WEST-END GALLERY HOP
Friday, October 28, 2016 / 6 – 8 pm – Late
Art Toronto invites you to gallery hop across 11 of the top contemporary galleries in Toronto’s west-end.
Michael Antkowiak at Wil Kucey Gallery
by Simon Termine
Antkowiak provides a comprehensive look into how concepts of identity and ownership – not physical ownership, but rather emotional and ontological ownership of an event or memory – are influenced by technologies like social media.
Y.M. Whelan: Landscape, Portrait, Landscape at Yumart
Elizaveta Mironova
The singular plane in which the geometric shapes are painted allow for long and thoughtful contemplation of what is in the background, what is in the foreground, and what lays beneath.
Rona Ngahuia Osborne and Dan Mace: Wairua at A Space
by Alice Pelot
Rather than focus on the loss of their cultures, Osborne and Mace celebrate what survives
Edward Burtynsky at Nicholas Metivier Gallery
by Andriy Bilenkyy
Well, all you aesthetes and art-lovers concerned with moralization of contemporary art, you may sigh with relief now, as Byrtynsky’s new exhibition puts him back on track to the paradise of beauty and artistry
Gilles Morin: Mystification at Gallery 1313
by Elizaveta Mironova
The complex and highly emotional nature of human beings is spotlighted by the layering of low resolution photographs, allowing Morin to create “experimental and spontaneous works.”
Clive Holden: Internet Mountains at Stephen Bulger Gallery
by Nika Teper
Holden thematically and technically experiments with our sensory capacity. The final impact is one where the viewers ponder where exactly to situate themselves within the work; between the polarized web and natural elements.
Jennifer Stillwell: New Work at Pari Nadimi
by Jordan Fee
New Work: Smokestacks, Spills and Figures should not be missed by anyone who is interested in process art, or in the ways in which artists attempt to enter into an ecological dialogue with their viewers.
