SUMMARY:Drawing to Communicate with Dalia Hassan
DESCRIPTION:MOCA Toronto will be temporarily closed effective Saturday\, March 14\, to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our communities. We are closely monitoring the situation with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Toronto Public Health.\nWe will be rescheduling this event. Please stay tuned on our website for new dates or changes. \n\nThough drawing is typically viewed as a springboard to further artistic production\, this workshop will explore drawing as a fundamental practice in its own right. Participants will be encouraged to express their personal experiences through the lines\, shapes\, colours and textures they draw\, contributing to and building upon each other’s work in a group activity designed to open up communication and response. \nIn addition to guiding the workshop\, artist and Akin studio resident Dalia Hassan will share her experiences in contemporary drawing and display samples of her work to provide participants with examples of different drawing techniques. \n  \nDalia Hassan is a Cairo-born\, Toronto-based visual artist. She received her Bachelor of Visual Arts from the American University in Cairo in 2007 and has spent the majority of her career working as an independent artist in Egypt. Hassan’s earlier work explored themes relating to city life\, reflecting the abnormalities of her urban environment in a fantasized setting\, often with gallows humor. Hassan’s recent practice\, however\, has turned toward abstraction\, focusing on the mind and the relationship between consciousness and existence. Her work has been exhibited in Cairo and Toronto. \nThis workshop occurs on TD Community Sunday. Admission to the museum is free all day! \n\n\nDalia Hassan\, DRW 12-19\, sumi ink\, felt-tip pen and watercolour on paper\, 8.5 x 11 inches\, 2019

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Cason Sharpe (Art Metropole)
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations a weekly Wednesday night brought to you by Henderson Brewing Co. MOCA will present “Body of Work” every second Wednesday of the month.\n\n\n \n\n\n“Body of Work” talk invites artists and those who have worked across the floors of MOCA Toronto—members of Akin’s Studio Program\, Art Metropole\, the Ontario Science Centre’s studio residency and the Toronto Biennial—to discuss their individual practices. ‘Body’ is a term used to describe the texture and weight of beer\, and the word body in artistic practice often refers to a particular arrangement of artworks. The speakers in this series have been invited to respond to this duality.\n\n\n \n\n\n—\n\n\n \n\n\nCason Sharpe will give an introduction to the world of arts publishing by providing micro-reviews of three titles available from the Art Metropole catalogue. By dissecting these three books\, Cason will distinguish the artist book as a unique form that exists in conversation with but separately from the more traditional worlds of visual art or literary publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\nCason Sharpe is a writer currently based in Toronto. His fiction and criticism has appeared in Canadian Art\, C Magazine\, PRISM International\, The Hart House Review\, and GUTS Canadian Feminist Magazine\, among others. His first collection of short stories\, Our Lady of Perpetual Realness\, was released by Metatron Press in 2017. He has worked as the Manager of Art Metropole since 2018. \n\n\n\n\n\nArt Metropole is a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the production\, dissemination and contextualization of artist-initiated publication in any media\, especially those formats and practices predisposed to sharing and circulation. Found in 1974 by the artist collective General Idea\, Art Metropole now operates a retail storefront in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto\, as well as its own publishing program\, and an extensive archive at the National Gallery of Canada.\n\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nPhoto by Ben Rahn Photography Inc.

SUMMARY:Painting with Food
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores different ways to create art using sustainable and natural materials. Artist Maria Queiroga will show participants how to use foods like beet juice and hibiscus tea to create safe and chemical-free inks.  You will have a chance to make beautiful\, abstract paintings using natural ink on paper. \nAbout Maria Queiroga \nBrazilian-born Maria Queiroga is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working with painting\, photography and installation. Her work is mostly focused on themes of memories and self-consciousness. Currently and in parallel with her artistic practice\, she works at the MOCA as part of the Visitor Experience team. \nDon’t forget to check out The Life of a Dead Tree by Mark Dion\, during its last weekend at the museum. You can observe and participate in a kind-of autopsy of the tree that will unfold over the course of the exhibition. This shared investigation will remove\, preserve and document all the various life forms the tree continues to support. Most importantly\, the project will act as a site for conversations around specific pernicious\, invasive insects threatening North American forests\, such as the Emerald Ash Borer and Elm Bark Beetle. \n\nSuggested donation: $5 per person

SUMMARY:Vector Festival | Bio-Sonification: Non-Human Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Collaborate bio-sonically with non-human organisms around you! As part of Vector Festival\, InterAccess is pleased to partner with MOCA Toronto to host a free workshop with Tosca Hidalgo y Terán. Drop by on Sunday\, July 14 between 1-4pm on Floor 1 to listen to bio-data through various analogue synthesizers\, plants\, moss and mushrooms and experience a non-human bio-sonification symphony! \nBio-sonification is a process to translate complex real-time sensor data into musical notes and controls\, exploring the auditory sensory modality to provide insights into invisible phenomenon. Participants will get a chance to place electrodes onto plants\, fungi\, themselves or each other to have their bio-data turned into music. \nAbout the Artists: Tosca Teran\, aka Nanotopia\, is an interdisciplinary artist. Her work has been featured at SOFA New York\, Culture Canada\, and The Toronto Design Exchange. Tosca has been awarded artist residencies with Nes\, Skagaströnd\, The Ayatana Research Program in Ottawa and The Icelandic Visual Artists Association through Sím\, Reykjavik Iceland. Tosca is currently an invited Bio-Artist in residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto in partnership with the Ontario Science Centre. This summer Tosca will further her research in bio-sonification and bio-remediation with local mycologists at Bilpin Australia where she is the recipient of the 2019 BigCi Environmental Award at Wollemi National Park within the UNESCO World Heritage site in the Greater Blue Mountains. \n“I view my research as a collaborative effort with the non-Human entities I touch\, caress\, grow. Having ‘minds’ of their own\, my work explores sculpting forms with living mycelium\, and bio-sonification. My fascination with mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms) is compounded by a number of factors: fungi are neither plant nor animal and fungi can clean up ecological disasters.” \nCheck out more of Tosca’s work here:\nNanotopia.net\nwww.toscateran.com\n@MothAntler \nAbout Vector Festival: Vector Festival is a participatory and community-oriented initiative dedicated to showcasing digital games and creative media practices. Presenting works across a dynamic range of exhibitions\, screenings\, performances\, lectures\, and workshops\, Vector acts as a critical bridge between emergent digital platforms and new media art practice. The festival was founded in 2013 as the “Vector Game Art & New Media Festival” by an independent group of artists and curators: Skot Deeming\, Clint Enns\, Christine Kim\, and Katie Micak\, who were later joined by Diana Poulsen and Martin Zeilinger. \nQuestions? If you have any questions about the workshop or special requirements\, please contact us at education@interaccess.org.

SUMMARY:Dead Tree Walks | ‘The Life of a Dead Tree’
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Mark Dion’s exhibition\, The Life of a Dead Tree\, a series of guided walks led by biologists\, field naturalists\, and arborists will investigate the multifarious lifeforms that are supported by dead trees and their importance to Toronto’s ecosystems. \nA biodiversity exploration series\, these walks will happen every other Saturday in different park areas across the city of Toronto. Rain or shine! \nTickets: $10 general admission\, $8 member pricing \n  \n\n  \nTrees and Coexistence | West Toronto Railpath | May 25 \nWith Richard Aaron\n \nMeeting point: In front of MOCA\, south end (158 Sterling Road) \nDiscover the diversity of tree species that grow along the West Toronto Railpath with field naturalist\, Richard Aaron. This unique park area of Toronto is home to a variety of invasive and endemic trees—some arrived here on their own\, while others were planted; some species are well-behaved\, while others are more aggressive. Spend time with the different tree species and learn their characteristics\, behaviours\, and how they live together. \nAbout Richard Aaron: \nRichard Aaron is a seasoned naturalist who lives in the High Park area. Over the years\, he has conducted numerous walks\, talks\, and workshops for over 90 organizations\, ranging from naturalist clubs to universities\, in both Canada and the United States. His main areas of interest are wildflowers\, trees\, fungi\, slime moulds\, dragonflies\, moths\, and ecology. You can learn more about Richard on his website. \nRegister here \nDead Tree Abundance | Todmorden Mills | June 8 \nWith Paula Davies and Stephen Smith\n \nMeeting point: Todmorden Mills Park\, 67 Pottery Road. Meet at the front doors of the Papermill Theatre building. \nPaula Davies and Stephen Smith lead a walk along the Todmorden Mills’ Wildflower Preserve Trail. A site that is dedicated to ecological restoration\, Todmorden Mills is abundant with dead trees and home to a variety of plants and animals. This walk explores dead trees in various stages of decomposition and the different life forms that are supported by them\, including wildflowers and Toronto’s unofficial mushroom species\, Dryad’s Saddle. \nAbout Paula Davies and Stephen Smith: \nPaula Davies has been active in environmental stewardship since the late 1980’s\, beginning with the City of Toronto Task Force to Bring Back the Don\, the East York Environmental Advisory Committee\, and in 1991\, forming the Todmorden Mills Wildflower Preserve (TMWP) at Todmorden Mills Park with noted environmentalist Charles Sauriol and horticulturist Dave Money. The TMWP\, a registered charity under Paula’s direction\, is actively restoring forest\, wetlands and meadows at the 22-acre (9.1 hectare) park\, just north of Danforth Avenue. \nStephen Smith is a forester and certified arborist with the firm Urban Forest Associates (UFA) Inc. As a restoration practitioner\, he has designed and supervised hundreds of ecological restoration projects throughout Ontario over the past 35 years\, working with many partner groups\, and is the author of the invasive plant species list for Ontario. He is a founding member of the Society for Ecological Restoration Ontario and a member of the Ontario Invasive Plant Council (OIPC)\, and the Forest Gene Conservation Association (FGCA). \nRegister here \nDead Trees and Cemeteries | Mount Pleasant Cemetery\, Toronto Necropolis | June 22 \nWith Melanie Sifton\n \nMeeting point: Toronto Necropolis entrance (Google Maps) \nCemeteries\, particularly those created in the rural cemetery style\, have been important historic areas for public access to trees and meditative landscapes. In fact\, cemeteries pre-date planned parks in North America\, and therefore have a tradition of nurturing some of the best collections of urban trees. This tour in the Toronto Necropolis explores many aged and veteran trees\, dating back 100-150 years in some cases. We will look at the cycle of life and death in trees\, including the impacts of invasive pests and diseases on trees of Toronto. \nAbout Melanie Sifton: \nMelanie Sifton is a horticulturist and urban tree nerd with a background in public garden leadership. The former director of Humber Arboretum and Centre for Urban Ecology in Toronto\, and the former Vice President of Horticulture & Facilities for Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City\, she is currently pursuing doctoral studies at University of Toronto to investigate plant-soil interactions and landscape remediation for urban forest conservation. \nRegister here \nDead Trees for Biodiversity | High Park | July 6 \nWith Scott MacIvor\n \nMeeting point: Outside the entrance of Grenadier Restaurant (200 Parkside Dr\, Toronto) \nDeadwood is a source of decay and decomposition. These processes drive nutrient cycling and provide building blocks for biodiversity conservation. Deadwood is threatened\, especially in cities\, by removal as a result of aesthetic issues\, human safety or biofuel collection. As a result\, deadwood biodiversity—from birds to insects and frogs to fungi—are also under pressure. Come and appreciate deadwood as it rests in the rare oak savannah of High Park\, and experience and discuss the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning it supports. \nAbout Scott MacIvor: \nScott MacIvor is a community ecologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Science at the University of Toronto Scarborough. He is interested in biodiversity in cities (especially bees) and how to promote conservation and ecosystem functioning in urban planning and design. \nRegister here \nSnags: the Airbnbs of the Animal World | Wilket Creek Park | July 20 \nWith Carling Dewar\n \nMeeting point: Wilket Creek Park near Leslie St. and Eglinton Ave. E. Meet at the parking lot off of Leslie\, just north of Eglinton (Google Maps) \nHave you ever been on a road trip and had a hard time finding a place to stay\, and when you finally found a place\, it wasn’t what you’d hoped? This is happening a lot in the animal world\, especially for species who depend on snags (dead standing logs) for all or part of their life cycles. Join Carling Dewar to learn about the competitive market for snags\, which species depend on them\, and the solutions that animals and humans have come up with to address this problem. \nAbout Carling Dewar: \nCarling Dewar holds a Masters of Environmental Science from the University of Toronto\, and is involved in a variety of conservation initiatives\, from flying squirrel research in Haliburton Forest\, to species-at-risk policy implementation in Ontario and across Canada. She continues to support these initiatives through volunteer work with the Kawartha Wildlife Centre and in her position with Ancient Forest Exploration & Research as a Forest Ecologist and Outreach Coordinator. \nRegister here \nTall Grasses and Tall Trees | Lambton Forest | July 27 \nWith Michael Henry\n \nMeeting Point: Lambton Park Arena (4100 Dundas St W). Parking is available at the arena\, or take TTC to High Park Station\, board the 30 Lambton bus\, exit at Howland Ave\, and walk up the hill to the arena. \nThe forests of Lambton Park were historically shaped by fire which allowed an impressive and now very rare black oak-red pine savanna to form there. Join forest ecologist Michael Henry to walk among 200-year old oaks and red pines\, through beautiful prairie grasses\, and learn more about Toronto’s urban old-growth forests. After the guided walk\, if people wish\, they can walk part of the Carrying Place trail between Lambton Park and Jane Subway station. \nAbout Michael Henry: \nMichael Henry is an expert on old-growth forest ecology\, and the author of Ontario’s Old-Growth Forests. Recently he helped draw attention to threatened old-growth forests in Algonquin Park\, where he and Nate Torenvliet found unprotected forests over 400 years old. He is the lead author of Ontario’s old-growth forests (second edition spring 2019)\, is working on a book about old-growth forests of Ontario’s Greenbelt (fall 2020)\, and blogs about forest issues. \nRegister here \n  \n\n  \nSee all The Life of a Dead Tree programming\, including talks and workshops. \n

SUMMARY:Mark Dion in conversation with Marc Mayer | 'The Life of a Dead Tree'
DESCRIPTION:Floor 2 \nTickets: $15 general admission\, $10 member pricing \nMark Dion is an artist whose work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history\, knowledge\, and the natural world. In Dion’s practice\, the lines between art and science are often blurred. On the opening of his exhibition\, The Life of a Dead Tree\, the artist is joined by Marc Mayer for a lively discussion that focuses on the intersections between art and science in relation to nature and how these considerations manifest in his exhibition at MOCA. \nAbout Mark Dion \nMark Dion has received numerous awards\, including the ninth annual Larry Aldrich Foundation Award (2001)\, The Joan Mitchell Foundation Award (2007) and the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Lucida Art Award (2008). His work was included in dOCUMENTA 13 and he has had major exhibitions at museums including the Miami Art Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, and in London at Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum. In 2006\, Neukom Vivarium\, a permanent outdoor installation and learning lab for the Olympic Sculpture Park\, was commissioned by the Seattle Art Museum. \nAbout Marc Mayer \nMarc Mayer was Director and CEO of the National Gallery of Canada from 2009 to 2019. Formerly director of the Musée d’art Contemporain de Montreal\, he was the Deputy Director for Art of the Brooklyn Museum after leading The Power Plant in Toronto from 1998 to 2001. Marc has organized such widely acclaimed exhibitions as Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party\, 2002\, and the Jean-Michel Basquiat retrospective of 2005\, both for the Brooklyn Museum\, and\, with co-curator Sarah Stanners\, the National Gallery of Canada’s 2014 Jack Bush retrospective.

SUMMARY:Collective City Toronto Documentary Screening: Spontaneous Combustion
DESCRIPTION:SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION\nSpontaneous Combustion was a collective of contemporary visual artists\, many who had graduated from the Ontario College of Art in the early-to-mid 1980’s. These artists worked in a variety of media ranging from large format printmaking to holography and almost all presented their work in installation format. \nIn interviews supported by archival film and photography\, Spontaneous Combustion founders b.h. yael\, Gwen MacGregor and Caroline Langill discuss the collective’s origins\, the role of the artist as curator and how few opportunities existed for installation artists – particularly for artists who were working with kinetic work or electronics. \nCOLD CITY GALLERY\n“The brainchild of Toronto artist Dyan Marie\, Cold City was formed as a new way to exhibit and sell work. While many hybrid galleries similar to the Cold City model have flourished since\, Cold City was arguably the first of its kind in Toronto.” The Cold City Years: Power Plant \nThrough interviews with Cold City founder Dyan Marie and artists Peter Bowyer and Eldon Garnet\, as well as archival photos and videos\, this film chronicles this collectives’ ties to literary and critical journals of the day – the name Cold City was adapted from the “Cold City Fiction” issue of Impulse magazine. The artists also discuss the operational philosophy of the gallery and the devastating effect that the AIDS crisis had on the gallery and Toronto’s visual arts community. \nPAINTING DISORDERS\nPainting Disorders launched their celebrated inaugural show in November 1994 in a rough space on King West. Eye Magazine called the show “a focused\, strategic view of the place of painting in the information age” and Canadian Art magazine wrote that it was “one of those tight-as-a-drum shows where each artist carefully reins in his or her work to create an impression of unity and purpose.” \nIn interviews with Painting Disorders founding members Eric Glavin\, Angela Leach and Mark Bell we delve into this collective’s desire to explore the diversity of expression to be found in contemporary non-representational painting. The artists also discuss their influences as well as the challenge in finding opportunities to show their work in an artist-run or commercial gallery scene that had little capacity to exhibit emerging artists. \nRegister here
