Following its inauguration in the Spring 2012 season, the Dissenting Histories space transforms this Summer with a new project by Toronto-based artist Dave Dyment that intervenes in and responds to our archives.<\/p>\n

Toronto artist Dave Dyment\u2019s new project begins with his exploration of The Power Plant\u2019s archives. Expanding on his practice of research-based conceptualism, his investigation results in a work presented within Dissenting Histories: 25 Years of The Power Plant during our Summer 2012 season.<\/p>\n

Working with audio, video, photography, and the production of artists\u2019 books, multiples and editions, Dyment\u2019s witty practice mines popular culture, vernacular photography and music. His past projects include a century-aged edition of Glenfiddich malt whisky; a duet with Sonic Youth\u2019s Lee Ranaldo; and the photograph One Billion Years (Past & Future), which arranges dozens of books according to the time frames referenced in their titles. Dyment has exhibited across Canada and internationally, and his work is represented by MKG127, Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
