A threshold marks a starting point for a new state or experience, and it also refers to the smallest detectable sensation. <em>Threshold<\/em> explores this point as it relates to the body and its function both as a physical object and a sign capable of producing various meanings.<\/p>\n<p>The threshold as a physical space, denotes a hallowed-out absence that functions as an interstice between definite places. Thresholds are discernible points in space, but they necessarily refer to that which is behind or beyond. In a sense, the threshold\u2019s identity depends upon the existence of space outside of it. As an emptied-out centre, the threshold shifts the locality of interest onto the \u201cframe,\u201d which\u2014digested in \u00a0bodily terms\u2014also becomes the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Identity is often illustrated through the body and the manipulations made to it that mark it as one\u2019s own and the mediator between internal and the external world. With that said, there is a limit to the amount of control one has in regards to the body\u2014it functions or fails without our consent. There are limitations to manipulations, alterations or &#8220;improvements&#8221; in that they can only go so far&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>March 27 &ndash;  April 7, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, March 29, 6&ndash;7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ART CENTRE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Threshold, an investigation of the physical and perceptual bounds informing bodily experience<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=8472\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8472","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\/8472","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=8472"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8472\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9109,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8472\/revisions\/9109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
