Christian Morrisseau: Masterworks from The New Directions Project Exhibited - Canada 150 - Toronto

05 May 2021 – 05 May 2022

A real piece of art is a window into the transcendent. Humans need this in their lives because we are finite and limited; bounded by our ignorance and lack of knowledge. Unless humans make a connection to the transcendent they cannot prevail. Christian Morrisseau, guided by the spirits of his ancestors, brings the unreal to the real.

Post-Negotiation Positions

02 May 2021 – 09 May 2021

A reminder of colonial conquest with Marxist economic theory of annihilation encourages the viewer to consider the subject it wrangles. Trying to find my own utopia, new explorations of performative enquiry have open-ended questions. My experience of exile. It refers to human experience when a white ‘flag’ became an iconic symbol. Although there is an aesthetic positive in this when considering writing process and subject choices, as the Postmodern condition assimilating the animated surface. For Nietzsche, philosophy and cultural critique driven by a troubled history can be regarded an aesthetic self-consciousness to material. Bold gestures. My strategic position is still unclear. In Derry of course I immediately think of place as static work. It can, as machine combining antimonies, the infrathin, the donkey in the context of the circularity of art making. Creative destruction of today’s digital platforms. Extracts from the Negotiating a Strategic Position to Neomodernism Series April 2021

I Chose White by Jeanne Garant

05 May 2021 – 05 Jun 2021

“Looking back on my solo exhibits at Touchstone Gallery, I recognize a theme. At each exhibit, a color was featured. Black. Red. Black and White. This year, I chose white. I chose it because of its representation of darkness - darkness felt deeply by me and people the world over as the COVID-19 pandemic stole so much. To many, white symbolizes simplicity, openness, good or a new beginning. For me, this past Year, it represented loneliness, isolation and coldness. The whites in my paintings range from pure white, to muted warm whites and cold whites. The nuances represent the variations in feelings. Abstracts, patterns and architectural images complete the seven works and add contrast. They might also represent bright spots - even the dark hues. I recommend Victoria Finlay’s book: COLOR, a Natural History of the Palette.”

Ikonokody

Ikonokody

03 Apr 2021 – 30 Jun 2021

Ikonokody Grzegorz Tomasiak Koncepcja moich prac koncentruje się wokół możliwości wykorzystania alfanumerycznego, dwuwymiarowego matrycowego kodu – modularnego i stałowymiarowego w procesie pisania i czytania ikon w treści odwołujących się do Starego Testamentu. Przywołany wyżej kod jest nośnikiem danych uczestniczącym w interakcjach z materialnymi przedmiotami z naszego otoczenia. Umożliwia kodowanie i przenoszenie znaków na podobieństwo kultury pisma i podobnie jak ono jest zjawiskiem fizycznym, percypowanym zmysłowo, które odsyła do czegoś innego, niż ono samo. Modułem w kodzie jest kwadrat biały lub czarny. Zestawienie modułów tworzy tzw. słowa kodowe, w których zapisana jest informacja o znakach. Wymiar modułu a zatem wymiary całego kodu są zmienne i zależą, obok innych wartości technologicznych, od zawartości zapisanych danych. Optyczna natura kodów dwuwymiarowych, odwzorowuje wręcz istotę znaków wizualnych, które traktowane są jako nośniki znaczeń. Możliwość wykorzystania tego rodzaju kodów jako maszynowo odczytywalnej reprezentacji danych a jednocześnie materialnych artefaktów uczestniczących w kreowaniu interakcji pomiędzy różnymi nośnikami znaczeń stanowi istotę moich poszukiwań badawczych i artystycznych. I sala Praca jest formą konceptualizacji pola problemów, z którego wywodzą się moje inspiracje twórcze. Ich konkretyzację stanowi cykl prac prezentowanych pod tytułem: Zastosowanie kodu dwu i trójwymiarowego w procesie pisania i czytania ikon inspirowanych Księgą Daniela. Prezentowany cykl to próba połączenia trzech, od kilku lat pojawiających się w mojej twórczości artystycznej, problemów. Pierwszy z nich dotyczył współczesnych sposobów przedstawiania ikony, łączących tradycyjne konwencje jej pisania z formami przekraczającymi ujęcia klasyczne. Drugi obejmował wykorzystanie matrycowych kodów kreskowych w pracy artystycznej. Trzeci dotyczył odczytywania symboli i znaków z Księgi Daniela z Biblii Tysiąclecia jako inspiracji dla pracy twórczej. Każdy z problemów był dla mnie ważny, dlatego każdemu chciałem poświęcić uwagę w pracy artystycznej. Praktycznym rozwiązaniem dla tak szerokiej perspektywy zainteresowań artystycznych stało się stworzenie pracy łączącej te problemy. Efekt finalny jest sumą doświadczeń, wynikiem towarzyszących im refleksji oraz podsumowaniem prowadzonych przeze mnie przez wiele lat działań artystycznych. Osobisty charakter artystycznej realizacji - obrazów tworzących cykl trzydziestu prac - wpisuję w kontekst sztuki mającej silne zakorzenienie w ikonie. Pełny cykl prac ikonicznych został podzielony na trzy zbiory. Na pierwszy składa się jedenaście prac nawiązujących kolejno do rozdziałów I-VI Księgi Daniela. To zbiór opowiadań biograficznych o Danielu i jego towarzyszach. Drugi zestaw stanowi piętnaście prac, a dotyczą one treści z rozdziałów VII-XII, zawierających dokładny opis wizji i wyroczni. Rozdziały te cechują się stylem apokaliptycznym i bogactwem symboli. Ostatni zestaw tworzą cztery prace odnoszące się do dodatków deuterokanonicznych Księgi Daniela. Ich forma opierająca się na wykorzystaniu zróżnicowanych kodów matrycowych pozwala na wielorakie odczytanie treści, począwszy od technologicznych operacji na intelektualnej interpretacji znaczeń kończąc. II sala wcześniejsze prace ENG Iconocodes Grzegorz Tomasiak The concept of my works focuses on the possibility of using alphanumeric, two-dimensional matrix code - modular and constant-dimensional in the process of writing and reading icons in content referring to the Old Testament. The code mentioned above is a data carrier participating in interactions with material objects from our environment. It enables the coding and transfer of signs to resemble the culture of writing, and like it, it is a physical phenomenon, perceived by the senses, which refers to something other than itself. The module in the code is a white or black square. The list of modules creates the so-called code words in which information about characters is written. The module dimension, and therefore the dimensions of the entire code, are variable and depend, apart from other technological values, on the content of the saved data. The optical nature of two-dimensional codes, even reflects the essence of visual signs that are treated as carriers of meanings. The possibility of using this type of codes as a machine-readable representation of data and at the same time material artifacts participating in creating interactions between various carriers of meaning is the essence of my research and artistic research. And the hall Work is a form of conceptualization of the field of problems from which my creative inspirations derive. Their concretization is a series of works presented under the title: The use of a tri-iconographic code in the process of writing and reading. The presented series is an attempt to combine three problems that have been appearing in my artistic work for several years. The first one concerns contemporary ways of representing icons, combining traditional writing conventions with forms that go beyond classical approaches. The second involved the use of matrix bar codes in artistic work. The third concerned reading signs and signs from the Book of Daniel in the Millennium Bible as inspiration for creative work. Each of the problems was for me, so I wanted to devote each of the topics to my artistic work. A practical side for such a broad perspective of artistic interest is to create a work combining these problems. The final effect is the sum of the results, the results of the accompanying reflections and a summary of my activities over many years of development activities. I enter the personal character of the artistic realization - images distorting thirty works in the context of art rooted strongly in the icon. The full cycle of iconic works has been divided into three parts. The first purchase is eleven working with interest to chapters I through VI of the book of Daniel. This is a collection of biographical stories about Daniel and his companions. The second set consists of fifteen works, and chapter one of the content of chapters VII-XII, a dangerous description of a vision and oracle. These chapters are characterized by an apocalyptic style and a wealth of symbols. The last set of tip four works presenting themselves to the deuterocanonical tests of the Book of Daniel. Their form, based on various matrix purchases, allows for multiple reading of the content, based on the technology of operations on intellectual interpretation ending meanings. II room previous work

Elias Rosas - A World Constructed For Us

15 May 2021 – 15 Jun 2021

The relationship between humans and the natural world has always been an interesting concept to me. We rely on nature; We can not survive without nature. Despite this, we’ve developed a strange relationship with nature where we try to control it. For example, we build structures in cities to keep us away from the wilderness, these structures would not exist without utilizing nature. I started to construct these geometric shapes from the leaves of plants I grow. These geometric shapes took the form of architectural elements. The architectural elements are a commentary on the way humans bend nature to fit their needs. We often take materials from their natural place of origin and put them in foreign areas that better fit our needs. These shapes instead maintain their natural origins while still representing our control to mold them to our wants and needs. Nature will exist after we do. Even under all our control, there are things we can not stop or prevent or hide and that is part of what makes nature beautiful. I want my work to be a mechanism of reflection for the viewer’s relationship with nature and what their impact is. Because I make these pieces out of dead leaves as a form of recycling I want the audience to consider how they can reuse things as well as how important sustainability to protecting the environment.

Flowering by Misook KIM

10 May 2021 – 25 May 2021

The work of Misook Kim is a composition of basic elements of art (points, lines, faces, shapes and colors). The point is at the origin of any form and the symbol of life. It is the first detail that the eye perceives and extends to the universe. Its production depicts human psychology by appropriating the peculiarities of the objects of everyday life and the staging of a naked woman in a flower. On the other hand, this flower illustrates the aspiration of? Misook Kim evokes the theme of flowers by reverie by reinterpreting nature through the composition of different colors. The artist's technique is to erase the colors of the flowers and use the transparent paint to create a synergy between life and nature. Subsequently, this void filled by the application of bright and monotonous colors promotes the therapeutic benefits on the viewer. The energy that these colors emerge is such a balm for the body inviting us to momentarily forget the weight of everyday life and to carry out an introspection. Misook Kim believes in the virtues of Art Therapy. The harmony between man and nature would be a way of finding inner serenity.

"Angekommen"

30 Apr 2021 – 31 Dec 2021

Es ist die schönste Erbschaft, die mir meine Mama, die ebenfalls eine Künstlerin war, vermacht hat. Eines Tages schaute ich auf eines ihrer Bilder, die bei uns im Wohnzimmer hängen und fragte sie, ob ich das auch könnte. In solchen Fällen pflegte sie immer zu sagen, wenn wir Kinder der Meinung waren etwas nicht zu können: „Kind, stell die Kanne weg und nehme die Hände“. Also fing ich an.Ich spührte immer, dass da etwas in meinem Leben noch fehlte. Jetzt bin ich angekommen...Ich liebe es mit meinem Pinsel tief in die Farbtöpfe eintauchen zu können, die Stifte zu schwingen und mit meinen Werken während der Arbeit zu sprechen.

Love & Other Stories

01 May 2021 – 29 May 2021

Our third group show of 2021 is focusing a more delicate subject: the love theme. Although we have our own views on the general concept of love, we still cannot grasp its dimensions fully. While love is widely being considered a feeling coming from the heart, science considers neurological, chemical and psychological processes to be involved here. This controverse between ratio and emotion is a widely overlooked topic in popular portrayal and perceptions of love. Six gallery artists are taking on the challenge of exploring this subject from an artistic point of view.

Laurence Noga: Poetics of Obsolescence

04 May 2021 – 04 Jul 2021

'These found signs without provenance function as humble, anachronic portals to other times. Collected from the artist’s father’s garage, they are fragmented mementos revealing the constructions as stratigraphic layerings of time. Vestiges of things that may once have moved but are now arrested, of anonymous processes and operative systems no longer in use, they reveal the obsolete as registration of the cessation of time’s continuity.'

changing landscape

05 May 2021 – 31 May 2021

Karl Oskar Gallery proudly presents a group exhibition titled 'Changing Landscape’: a digital show exhibiting a wide range of artists including painters, photographers and digital artists, which deals with our connection to the natural world and the tenuous nature of that bond. ‘Changing Landscape’ reflects upon a variety of responses to the landscape as subject, from nostalgia to alienation, from mystical to existential. Linking these varying points of reference is the reality of the natural world as a common inheritance and a shared struggle. The landscape lives on in art: it survives the cliched associations and old fashioned stereotypes the genre brings with it, and is ever more relevant in the face of our impending climate catastrophe.

Snowdonia in Black -Emyr Payne

01 May 2021 – 31 May 2021

Inspired by the hills and mountains Emyr Payne frequented as a child, Snowdonia in Black is a contemplative and brooding investigation into the Welsh landscape and its effects on those who frequent it. Shot on 35mm black and white film, these often grainy and oppressive images of the Snowdonia mountain range seek to explore not only the beauty of Wales’ landscape but also its fury, power and capacity for stillness and reflection.
