Often weaving his own personal history into broad social events, Fujiwara constructs parallel histories that he presents through his role as raconteur and dramaturge. Playing multiple and often conflicting roles \u2014 from archaeologist and eroticist to architect \u2014 Fujiwara\u2019s seemingly multifarious identities both establish and erase themselves within his shadowy narratives, forming a complex, fleeting portrait of the contemporary individual.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the exhibition, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/thepowerplant.org\" target=\"_blank\">thepowerplant.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>September 24 &#8211; November 11, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Friday, September 23rd, 8-11PM<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE POWER PLANT CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simon Fujiwara\u2019s narrative installation reveals a complex research into identity and cultural heritage as an open-ended process of investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=2828\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2828"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5371,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828\/revisions\/5371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
