SUMMARY:Artists on Artists: Daniel Rotsztain on Carlos Bunga’s "A Sudden Beginning"
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\nAt an existential moment in Toronto’s development\, how does Carlos Bunga’s A Sudden Beginning respond\, not just to MOCA\, but to the city beyond? This tour by urban geographer Daniel Rotsztain will explore how Bunga’s work can help us grapple with the uncertainty and impermanence of a rapidly changing urban environment. How do we locate ourselves in a city that is shifting beneath our feet? Where do our stories live when the landscape is unstable? Bunga’s immersive\, impermanent sculptures offer clues. \nMOCA’s Artists on Artists series is a programme where local artists are invited to discuss MOCA’s current exhibitions\, or a single artwork\, in any format or direction of their choosing. \n  \nDaniel Rotsztain is an urban geographer\, artist\, writer and cartographer whose work examines our relationship to the places we inhabit. The author and illustrator of All the Libraries Toronto and A Colourful History Toronto\, Rotsztain’s work has been featured in the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star and as a regular segment on CBC Radio’s Here and Now. A frequenter of libraries\, malls and strip malls\, Rotsztain seeks to understand and support the diverse settings of the city’s public life through walking tours\, residencies and landscape interventions. He is the co-lead of plazaPOPS\, an initiative dedicated to recognizing and enhancing strip mall parking lots as community gathering spaces in Toronto’s inner suburbs. \n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy the artist.

SUMMARY:Archiving Eden: Seed Exchange by Dornith Doherty
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\nArchiving Eden: Exchange presents x-ray images of 5\,000 seeds — the smallest number required to preserve a single plant species. Housed within a vault-like structure\, the installation by artist Dornith Doherty comes to life during seed exchange events\, where visitors are invited to take home an image from the vault’s walls and replace it with a transparent envelope containing a single Canadian seed. Over time\, the installation will change both physically and visually: from representational to actual\, dark to light. \nThe seeds available for exchange are representative of common agricultural crops grown in Canada\, including soy\, corn and beans\, as well as a variety of native wild plant species. The black-and-white x-rays lining the installation’s walls were captured by Doherty in collaboration with scientists at several international seed banks. \nMOCA presents Archiving Eden: Exchange as the fifth installment of Art in Use\, a series devoted to exploring the ways in which museums can be socially and politically useful. With Archiving Eden: Exchange\, viewers are encouraged to examine their collective responsibility to care for the environment while reflecting on the monumental effort required to safeguard biodiversity. At the close of the exhibition\, the 5\,000 seeds will be donated to the Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Library — a collection of vegetable\, herb and flower seeds that growers can borrow from and donate to. \nLearn more \n  \n\n\n\n\nDornith Doherty\, Archiving Eden: Exchange (detail)\, 2019\, Installation view at MOCA Toronto\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Modern Art Explained\, Its Secrets Revealed: A Talk by Marc Mayer
DESCRIPTION:“Just as you can’t see the forest for the trees\, you can’t see art for the art works.

He will explore the determining influence of science on art\, the consequences of prioritising originality\, and the various uses and abuses of obscurity\, among other topics. \nA native of Sudbury\, Ontario\, Marc Mayer has been the Director and CEO of the National Gallery of Canada\, Director of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal\, Deputy Director for Art of the Brooklyn Museum\, Director of the Power Plant in Toronto and\, most recently\, Strategic Advisor to MOCA Toronto.

Through a series of somatic prompts\, participants will be invited to interact with the installation and reflect on themes of architecture and temporality. \nPia Bouman is a choreographer whose works reflect on the immediate — on things that must be shared to become part of collective memory. With many of her works appearing at dance festivals and schools throughout Toronto\, Bouman performed Dissemination\, a solo created for her by Alison Cummins\, as part of the Older & Reckless series (curated by Claudia Moore) in 2012\, and a self-choreographed piece\, Erasing Margins\, as part of the same series in 2018. She is the founder and Artistic Director of the Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement\, a not-for-profit organization with a unique and inclusive mandate. After 42 years in Parkdale\, the school opened its doors on Sterling Road in September 2019. \nAnnie Feiler received her dance education at the Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement and\, later\, in Windsor\, Ontario\, with Anne Marie Pilon Gerdun. After reconnecting with Bouman following her university studies\, Feiler teaches in the school’s Young Children’s Program. \nThis workshop takes place at two times on Monday\, February 17. Sign up for free below: \n11:30 am\n2:30 pm \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nIntervening A Sudden Beginning\nPictured: allie higgins\, Lauren Runions\, Denise Solleza\, Yui Ugai and Shelby Wright\nI/O Movement\nPhotography by Colin Medley

SUMMARY:Archiving Eden: Seed Exchange by Dornith Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Archiving Eden: Exchange presents x-ray images of 5\,000 seeds — the smallest number required to preserve a single plant species. Housed within a vault-like structure\, the installation by artist Dornith Doherty comes to life during seed exchange events\, where visitors are invited to take home an image from the vault’s walls and replace it with a transparent envelope containing a single Canadian seed. Over time\, the installation will change both physically and visually: from representational to actual\, dark to light. \nThe seeds available for exchange are representative of common agricultural crops grown in Canada\, including soy\, corn and beans\, as well as a variety of native wild plant species. The black-and-white x-rays lining the installation’s walls were captured by Doherty in collaboration with scientists at several international seed banks. \nMOCA presents Archiving Eden: Exchange as the fifth installment of Art in Use\, a series devoted to exploring the ways in which museums can be socially and politically useful. With Archiving Eden: Exchange\, viewers are encouraged to examine their collective responsibility to care for the environment while reflecting on the monumental effort required to safeguard biodiversity. At the close of the exhibition\, the 5\,000 seeds will be donated to the Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Library — a collection of vegetable\, herb and flower seeds that growers can borrow from and donate to. \nLearn more \nThe Power of a Single Seed\nWith Sayeh Dastgheib-Beheshti\n \nJoin us for a 15-minute drop-in workshop on how to grow a native Ontario plant from a single seed. Native plants have evolved over millennia to thrive in a specific climate and are an integral part of our environment. They offer food\, shelter and ecosystems for wildlife and humans alike. Each day of the workshop series will feature a different plant variety. You will learn about its characteristics\, its importance to wildlife\, as well as the basics of seed stratification and preparing a seed to grow in its preferred environment. At the end of the workshop\, you will leave with a seed that is already stratified\, or one that you can stratify to grow at home. \nFree\, drop-in\, all ages\, 1-4 pm \n\n\n\n\nDornith Doherty\, Archiving Eden: Exchange (detail)\, 2019\, Installation view at MOCA Toronto\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Matt Russo
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations with MOCA is a monthly 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\nBody of Work talks invite 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\n\nMusic of the Moon\nMatt Russo \nWhat is the rhythm of asteroid impacts on the Moon? Can the Moon’s surface carry a tune? What does 50 years of lunar exploration sound like? In this talk\, Matt from SYSTEM Sounds will share some of the ways they’ve been able to generate sound and music using lunar data and what it means for the people of Earth. This is also your chance to play the Sonic Orbiter\, an interactive exhibit they created for their MOCA residency that lets you explore the Moon’s surface through sound.  \nMatt Russo is an astrophysicist and musician\, currently teaching physics and developing planetarium shows at the University of Toronto. He completed his PhD and postdoctoral research in theoretical astrophysics and is also a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Jazz Guitar Performance program. In May of 2017 he co-founded SYSTEM Sounds\, a sci-art outreach project that converts astronomical data into music and sound. Their work has been featured in the New York Times and they frequently collaborate with NASA to make astronomy accessible to the visually impaired. Matt’s TED Talk “What does the universe sound like? A Musical Tour” has been viewed over 1.5 million times. \n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome! If you’d like to reserve a spot\, you can buy a ticket for $5 and enjoy a free pint when you arrive.\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations \n\nRegister for tickets\n\nImage courtesy the artist.

SUMMARY:Archiving Eden: Seed Exchange by Dornith Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Archiving Eden: Exchange presents x-ray images of 5\,000 seeds — the smallest number required to preserve a single plant species. Housed within a vault-like structure\, the installation by artist Dornith Doherty comes to life during seed exchange events\, where visitors are invited to take home an image from the vault’s walls and replace it with a transparent envelope containing a single Canadian seed. Over time\, the installation will change both physically and visually: from representational to actual\, dark to light. \nThe seeds available for exchange are representative of common agricultural crops grown in Canada\, including soy\, corn and beans\, as well as a variety of native wild plant species. The black-and-white x-rays lining the installation’s walls were captured by Doherty in collaboration with scientists at several international seed banks. \nMOCA presents Archiving Eden: Exchange as the fifth installment of Art in Use\, a series devoted to exploring the ways in which museums can be socially and politically useful. With Archiving Eden: Exchange\, viewers are encouraged to examine their collective responsibility to care for the environment while reflecting on the monumental effort required to safeguard biodiversity. At the close of the exhibition\, the 5\,000 seeds will be donated to the Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Library — a collection of vegetable\, herb and flower seeds that growers can borrow from and donate to. \nLearn more \nThe Power of a Single Seed\nWith Sayeh Dastgheib-Beheshti\n \nJoin us for a 15-minute drop-in workshop on how to grow a native Ontario plant from a single seed. Native plants have evolved over millennia to thrive in a specific climate and are an integral part of our environment. They offer food\, shelter and ecosystems for wildlife and humans alike. Each of these workshops will feature a different plant variety. You will learn about its characteristics\, its importance to wildlife\, as well as the basics of seed stratification as well as the basics of stratification and preparing a seed to grow in certain conditions.  At the end of the workshop you will leave with a seed that is already stratified\, or one that you can stratify to grow at home. \nFree\, drop-in\, all ages\, 1-4 pm \n\n\n\n\nDornith Doherty\, Vault: Exchange (detail)\, Installation view at the Ontario Science Centre Toronto\, Canada. April – August 2019.

SUMMARY:Monday Night Seminars: "HotMessAge" with Skawennati
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open \nJoin us for Call Forward\, where our guest Skawennati will present her current project\, Calico & Camouflage\, currently in production. The project is a fashion collection of ResistanceWear that blends traditional regalia with military clothing. \nThe McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology’s annual theme\, HotMessAge\, explores how media and technology underlie today’s social\, economic and environmental crises while at the same time offering us tools to address these challenges. \nThis year the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology amplifies some of the voices in Media Studies — voices that offer hot takes with cool possibilities of radical social change. \nThis programme is presented in partnership with the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology\, University of Toronto. \nSkawennati makes art that addresses history\, the future\, and change from her perspective as an urban Kanien’kehá:ka woman and as a cyberpunk avatar. Her work has been widely presented in both group exhibitions and solo shows and is included in public and private collections\, such as the National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. \nBorn in Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory\, Skawennati graduated with a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal\, where she is based. She is Co-Director of Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace (AbTeC)\, a research-creation network of artists and academics who investigate and create Indigenous virtual environments.

SUMMARY:Digital Justice Lab Workshop: Imagining Feminist Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to imagine a feminist digital voice interface? Through a series of speculative design exercises\, we will prototype and discuss what voice technologies might look like if we designed them in line with the central commitments of feminism: participation\, agency\, embodiment\, equity\, empowerment\, plurality and justice. Participants will learn the basics of designing a conversational UI but no prior coding skills are needed. \nImagining Feminist Interfaces is presented in partnership with Digital Justice Lab and Trinity Square Video. \ntendernet is a collective of female-identifying technologists\, writers\, educators\, designers and activists whose work explores speculative design\, networked devices and privacy through an intersectional feminist framework. Most recently\, the collective has led workshops aimed at developing radical feminist interventions to emerging technologies\, with a focus on voice interfaces. Becca Ricks and Zoe Bachman are co-founders of tendernet. tendernet.us \nThe Digital Justice Lab’s (DJL) mission is to focus on building a more just and equitable digital future. Working alongside technologists\, community activists and policymakers\, DJL helps shape a better public understanding of technology and its impact on communities across the country.

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Raoul Olou
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations with MOCA is a 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\nBody of Work talks invite 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\n\nRaoul Olou is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. His work focuses on ideas of home\, belonging and archiving the mundane. For his talk\, Olou will discuss his recent work and his use of documentary processes across various disciplines\, including animation\, experimental games and painting. Olou was a resident artist in the Akin Studio Program at MOCA from October 2018 – September 2019.\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome! If you’d like to reserve a spot\, you can buy a ticket for $5 and enjoy a free pint when you arrive.\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nRegister for tickets\nImage courtesy the artist.
