As London, ON-based artist, writer and academic Patrick Mahon points out the common thread between these three exhibitions is that all three artists are engaged in complex practices of making art generated in response to living\/thinking experiences, which ultimately point to the artists themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Derived from true stories documenting recent encounters with lightning, <strong>Tara Cooper&#8217;s<\/strong> &#8220;Weather Girls Field Guide to Lightning&#8221; (Open Studio Gallery) depicts a myriad of subject matter from meteorological equipment, weather patterns and cloud formations to the quotidian \u2039 a light bulb, a metal chair, a bottle of Jack Daniels and a lottery ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Combining print with film and sculpture, the exhibition conflates the impersonal language of the statistic with the impact of the personal experience, a place where both the weather and the viewer share the role of witness, impartial bystanders to the events of everyday.<\/p>\n<p>Open Studio thanks The Catherine and Maxwell Meighen Foundation and the<br \/>\nDonald O\u00b9Born Family for their kind support of the 2010-11<br \/>\nScholarship\/Fellowship Program<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>October 27 \u00ad\u2013 November 26, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nArtist talks: Thursday, October 27, 6-7 pm<br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, October 27, 7-9 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open Studio Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Combining print with film and sculpture, the exhibition conflates the impersonal language of the statistic <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=4502\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502","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=4502"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5878,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502\/revisions\/5878"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
