SUMMARY:Members' Preview | Winter 2019 | Chantal Akerman & Basma Alsharif
DESCRIPTION:Explore the works of Chantal Akerman and Basma Alsharif in a new and immersive experience. \nMOCA Toronto welcomes you to our new winter 2019 (February-April) programming. We are excited to present the works of Chantal Akerman and Basma Alsharif. Both artists share many concerns – geopolitical definitions\, the collapsing of histories and how we form individual versus collective memory. \nAkerman’s exhibition is the first time that her work is being shown in a museum in Toronto. \nLearn more about the artists: \nChantal Akerman\nAkerman is known for her impact on feminist filmmaking and avant-garde cinema. Her filmography includes the masterpiece Jeanne Dielman\, 23 quai du Commerce\, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)\, which she made when she was just 25 years old. \nNOW by Akerman creates a sense of being immersed in an arid landscape\, across five screens. Also on view is Akerman’s In The Mirror. \nBasma Alsharif\nBasma Alsharif’s exhibition intertwines four major works\, each one presented as a staged setting. Using many different media\, she takes us on journeys into the collective subconscious\, exploring the tools we all use to understand the ghosts of history. \nAt the centre of the exhibition is A Philistine\, inviting you to settle into an armchair and enter a story travelling back in time.  \nDon’t forget to visit these interactive exhibitions on view: \n\nDEMOS – A Reconstruction\, Andreas Angelidakis\nLight Therapy\, Apolonija Šušteršič\nScaffold and Horizons (Earth and Sky)\, Adrian Blackwell\n\nJoining us: \n\nBeer by Henderson Brewing\nWine by Masi Wines\nMusic by DJ Dre Ngozi\nThrough fresh mixes\, Dre takes the crowd on an unexpected journey.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Tim Whiten
DESCRIPTION:Tim Whiten is a Toronto-based creator of charged objects that embody myths and narratives\, bringing these stories alive and affirming their relevance to the times in which we live. \nWork by Tim Whiten is featured in MOCA’s inaugural exhibition\, BELIEVE. His incredible glass objects\, After Phaeton and Reliquaire\, embody narratives related to power\, belief\, continuity of being and understanding our place in the world. \nTim Whiten was born in Inkster\, Michigan and lives and works in Toronto. He is represented by Olga Korper Gallery. “I do not refer to myself as an Artist; I think of myself as an image maker who also creates cultural objects. In close to forty years creating works\, I have sought to navigate the territory of the human condition and its transformative potential.” \nWork by Tim Whiten featured in MOCA’s inaugural exhibition\, BELIEVE (on view until January 6\, 2019): \nAfter Phaeton\, 2013 \nHand-crafted crystal clear glass\, ionized glass\, brass fittings \nAfter Phaeton embodies the mythological tale of Phaeton\, son of the sun god Helios\, who begged his father to let him drive the horse-drawn chariot of the sun. In a daring act of arrogance\, Phaeton ignored his father’s cautionary warnings about the mighty powers of the chariot and crashed it into the earth\, setting the planet ablaze. While Whiten does not insist upon singular interpretations of his work\, After Phaeton can be understood in our current era as a lesson related to humility\, privilege and power. \nReliquaire\, 2012 \nHandcrafted crystal clear glass\, human skull\, gold leaf \nResembling the sacred architecture of a church or temple\, Reliquaire is a glass container that houses a human skull visible through a magnified lens. The skull\, as a container for the brain\, represents the locus of knowledge\, imagination and identity. Most often relics are the preserved remains of someone who may have achieved great and extraordinary things\, but the identity of this skull\, obtained through medical and academic sources\, is unknown. Whiten protects and elevates this “ordinary” person\, acknowledging that all of life is sacred and important. \nThis event is free but requires pre-registration. \nMember registration starts November 7.\nPublic registration starts November 8. \nRegister here \n  \n \nTim Whiten\, After Phaeton\, 2012.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Rajni Perera
DESCRIPTION:Open to Engage and Immerse members \nGo behind-the-scenes of Rajni Perera’s Talisman\, currently on view in the exhibition BELIEVE. Members are invited to an intimate talk with Perera and a tour of the woodshop of her collaborator\, artist Yorgo Liapis\, right on Sterling Rd. Meet the artist and learn about the inspiration and creation of this artwork. \nAbout Talisman \nThe double-throne Talisman\, a collaboration with artist Yorgo Liapis\, is at once a retelling of history\, a speculative form and an object to be appreciated on its own. \nTalisman suggests opportunities to engage in conversations that ease or erase the gulf between conflicting beliefs across history and time. The work evokes the rebalancing of energies—a space between binary identities and viewpoints. It also references a divisive and destructive conflict between the ancient Egyptian cities Thebes and Amarna. \n  \nBios \nRajni Perera \nRajni Perera is a Toronto-based artist\, commissioned by MOCA to produce new artworks for the exhibition BELIEVE. Her works Talisman and Banners for New Empires\, can be seen on Floor 2 of the museum.  \nYorgo Liapis  \nCollaborator\, Yorgo Liapis is an artist and woodworker whose extensive portfolio traverses art and design\, creating sculptural works and design pieces with a focus on materiality and craftsmanship. He currently lives and works in Toronto. \n  \nEngage and Immerse Members: RSVP@mocalegacy.webpreview.site \nIf you are currently an Access member and would like to join\, contact membership@mocalegacy.webpreview.site to upgrade your membership. \nNot a member?

SUMMARY:'Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape' | Andy Holden LIVE
DESCRIPTION:Through close observation of the adventures of well-known characters including Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote\, artist Andy Holden has adapted ten laws of cartoon physics to create a theory of art and the world we now inhabit. The first of which is that “anybody suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of their situation.” Holden\, who first learned to draw by copying cartoons\, argues that the golden age of this discipline offered “a prophetic glimpse” into the world in which we live. Studying cartoons\, he suggests\, will help us better understand the events that are shaping our present day\, not least the moments of financial crisis and the recent election and referendum results. \nIn this special live performance\, Holden is transported into the cartoon-world via green screen technology. This leap into a series of familiar landscapes unfolds an astonishing journey through the history of animation\, critical theory\, physics and art\, before arriving at contemporary politics and Holden’s theory that the world has now come to resemble a cartoon. \nPrice:\nAdult: $15\nSeniors and Students: $10\nUnder 18: Free\nEngage and Immerse Members: $5 \nReserve your tickets here.\nLimited availability \nPlease note: Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape will be closed Friday\, November 9\, in order to set up and rehearse for the evening performance. \nWatch the trailer for Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape:

SUMMARY:Members' Event: Studio visit with Akin Collective featuring artists Oliver Pauk and Michael Vickers
DESCRIPTION:Open to mocamigos members and up ($150+) \nJoin us as we visit the studios of visual artists Oliver Pauk and Michael Vickers followed by a tour of AkinCollective. Light refreshments will be served. \nRSVP to Anne Rawn arawn@museumofcontemporaryart.ca by March 17\, space is limited. \nExact location details will be provided closer to the date of the studio visit. \nAkin Collective provides studio and shared workspace to over 160 artists\, designers and creatives working across almost 20\,000 square feet of studio space in 4 main Toronto hubs. Its sister organization\, Akin Projects is a registered nonprofit that offers free and low-cost creative programming and professional development opportunities to members of Toronto’s artistic and cultural community and to the public at large. \nLearn more about Akin Collective in their recent Toronto Star feature: ‘Akin Collective buys artists space and time’ \nOliver Pauk’s work cent​res around photographic\, sculptural\, and video-based elements straddling the boundary between physical and digital art. His specific interest lies in exploring the ways in which digitally captured objects can be translated back into the physical realm. Because objects in a digital state can fluctuate between mediums when edited and reformatted\, Pauk engages with this idea by presenting his work across various mediums. Oliver holds an Honours BA in Economics from the University of Toronto. Recent exhibitions include Volta 12 Basel; Mercer Union; Art Gallery of Ontario; Angell Gallery; Patrick Mikhail Gallery; Toronto International Film Festival; and The Gardiner Museum. \nMichael Vickers is a Toronto-based artist with a practice that works in the space between sculpture\, painting and installation. His recent work investigates the limits of different materials and presentation methods – painted\, curled and bent forms made of various painted aluminums and steels\, etched and engraved stone and marble works\, and installations that activate the exhibition space in different ways.  Vickers holds an MA in Art History from the University of Toronto and an Honours BA in Visual Arts & Communications and has exhibited locally and internationally- including presentations at Volta Basel\, Mercer Union\, Clark House Mumbai\, Division Gallery\, Patrick Mikhail Gallery and installations at the Art Gallery of Ontario and The Gardiner Museum. \n  \nImage: Oliver Pauk (right) and Michael Vickers (left)\, visual artists and collaborators on management of the Akin Collective.

SUMMARY:mocamigos Event: Studio visit with artist Nep Sidhu
DESCRIPTION:Open to mocamigos members \nJoin us for a visit to artist Nep Sidhu‘s  Leslieville studio and some light refreshments. \nRSVP to Anne Rawn arawn@museumofcontemporaryart.ca by March 3\, space is limited. \nExact location details will be provided closer to the date of the studio visit. \nNep Sidhu’s art practice resides along a continuum comprised of conceptual and technical components originating from antiquity\, with relevance for the present. His sculptural practice combines language\, light-baring materials\, and incantation thus creating a third space that unifies endless parallels and possibilities. This work is informed by the interplay of script\, the poetic wave of architecture\, and an affinity for community. To date\, Sidhu has produced large-scale explorations around ancestor veneration\, the divine feminine\, and the intersection of myth and history. \nWith the divine feminine in mind\, along with a sense of pride and values that has become unbalanced in Sidhu’s ancestral home of Chakar\, Punjab. Sidhu and his family along with Davinder Singh have formed Sher-E-Punjab Academy as an institution of boxing and learning for the village youth of Chakar.  In addition to the physical regimen\, the students are also engaged by educational programming and life coaching. \nThe family’s focused approach to bring change to the community is by the empowerment of young girls\, who are the building blocks to their future. With boxing being the forefront of this initiative\, Sidhu explores the intersection of Ceremony and Sport through his textile and adornment practise under Paradise Sportif. It is here where Sidhu’s investigation into vestment and a non-commercial clothing line\, discloses the ideal conduct for maximum sustainability in contemporary spaces. The guiding principle is protect and exalt. Paradise Sportifreadies individuals (from women in the school to the arts collective Black Constellation and Shabazz Palaces) to engage with the sacred that exists within themselves and their environment. Aesthetic components drawn from myriad textile and ornament traditions which leverage\, reinforce\, and disguise ceremony. A dialogue between sport and ceremony upholds considerations around time\, place\, and divine connectivity. \nImage: Malcolm’s Smile\, 7a\, 7b\, 7 c 2015 Wool\, poly-cotton\, aluminum\, 150 x 96 x 15 in. each. Commissioned by the Frye Art Museum and funded by the Frye Foundation\, Douglas Smith. Courtesy of the Artist.

DESCRIPTION:Offered to moccamigos members and up. \nJoin us for a private tour of new exhibition by artist Abraham Cruzvillegas. Rui Mateus Amaral\, Director and Curator of Scrap Metal\, will be guiding the tour of the exhibition. \nArt en Valise and Scrap Metal are delighted to partner on presenting a new exhibition of work by Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas— his first solo exhibition in Canada. Titled\, Autocontusion\, the site-specific composition spans a diverse range of mundane objects sourced in the gallery’s surrounding area.

SUMMARY:Members’ Event: Studio visit with artist Rajni Perera
DESCRIPTION:Offered to moccamigos members \nmocamigo members are invited to visit the studio of the Canadian Artist Taking On The Global Art Market: Rajni Perera. \nArtist Biography: \nI explore issues of hybridity\, sacrilege\, irreverence\, the indexical sciences\, ethnography\, gender\, sexuality\, popular culture\, deities\, monsters and dream worlds. All of these themes marry in a newly objectified realm of mythical symbioses. They are flattened on the medium and made to act as my personal record of impossible discoveries. \nMy approach to the deconstruction of the non-European\, female body image\, delving into the miniaturist aesthetic as in “The New Ethnology”\, “The New Archaeology” and the “Yogini” series\, manifests itself in the form of re-appropriated religious icons. Leveraging embellished photographic portraiture as in “Maharajas” and “Maharanis” challenges contemporary notions of masculinity viewed through the non-European\, female lens.By painting these object-beings\, I am engaging in a discussion with the viewing audience about the aesthetic treatment of gender and the non-European sacred and secular body in a popular culture context. \nThese saccharine women and stoic men\, flaunting their blood\, breasts and armor around and throughout the stretched paper surface\, conceal violent stories and ideologies; a complex dichotomy that is not explored or discussed in internationally (or more particularly Western) circulated imagery of Hindu and Tantric gods and goddesses. It is much the same for the ethnic body image\, as represented in print media and online or screen culture. The semiology becomes reduced\, simplified and pared down to suit a blander ideological palette. \nIn my work\, I seek to open and reveal the dynamism of these icons\, both scripturally existent\, self-invented and externally defined. I am creating a subversive aesthetic that counteracts antiquated\, oppressive discourse\, and acts as a restorative force through which people can move outdated\, repressive modes of being towards reclaiming their power. \nLimited registration. RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Members' Event: Studio tour with Nick Bierk and Charles Bierk
DESCRIPTION:Offered to moccamigos members \nmoccamigo members are invited to an evening at the studio of Nick Bierk and Charles Bierk. \n\n\nNick Bierk and Charles Bierk are Toronto-based artists who primarily work in oil on canvas. While a shared characteristic is the production of figurative paintings\, the conceptual elements explored within each practice are quite distinct. Charles’ works\, which are chiefly a profound examination of the portrait\, are an unquestionable triumph in photo-realistic painting. Nick\, while more varied in subject and composition\, persistently explores personal undertones through the creation of his incredibly well-executed pictures. \nLimited registration. RSVP required. \nPhoto credit:  Joseph Hartman
