SUMMARY:"Age of You" Drop-in Activity: Defying Facial Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Think you can outsmart facial recognition? In this workshop\, participants will design and construct masks and headpieces inspired by CV Dazzle\, a project by artist Adam Harvey that provides information and tips for creating “looks” that can camouflage the face from face detection technology. Using elements such as asymmetry\, tonal inverse and the concealment of certain facial features\, you will be able to learn and test which design combinations are most effective in hiding from facial recognition technology. \nFree. No tickets or registration required. Drop-in and stay as long as you would like. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Art Toronto: Carlos Bunga
DESCRIPTION:Carlos Bunga’s talk takes place during a research trip to MOCA Toronto where he will create a\nsite-responsive installation on two floors of the museum\, opening February 2020. \nBunga uses mass-produced materials such as cardboard\, adhesive tape and household paint to produce site-specific\, process-focused installations. Emerging from a dialogue with an existing architectural space\, these ephemeral structures remind us of life-size architectural models as well as temporary street shelters. Through his work\, Bunga not only encourages viewers to rethink their experience of space and architecture\, but also evokes the transient and fragile nature of urban structures. \nBunga (b. 1976\, Porto) currently lives and works near Barcelona. His work has recently featured in group exhibitions at the Guggenheim Bilbao (2016); Artes Mundi 6 in Cardiff\, UK (2013); and the Chicago Architecture Biennial (2015). He has had solo exhibitions at numerous museums\, including Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles (2011)\, Museu Serralves\, Porto (2012)\, Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo\, Mexico City (2013)\, Museo Amparo\, Puebla (2014)\, Haus Konstruktiv Museum\, Zurich (2015) and the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2015) or the MAAT\, Lisbon (2019). Bunga’s upcoming exhibitions in 2020 will take place at the Whitechapel Gallery in London\, MOCA Toronto and Secession in Wien. \n\n\n\n\nPresented by MOCA Toronto\, Supported by Partners in Art\n\nCarlos Bunga\, Deterritorialización\, Site specific installation at Casas Rigner Gallery\, Bogotá\, 2013. Cardboard\, tape\, latex paint and glue\, photographed by Oscar Monsalve.

SUMMARY:Artists on Artists: Hannah Epstein on "Age of You"
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Epstein works at the cross-section of textiles\, experimental games and video art to reimagine the iconography of popular culture\, highlighting the cultural negotiation between bottom-up (folk) and top-down (institutional) storytelling. By blurring the lines between traditional craft\, popular culture and contemporary art\, she aims to isolate and eliminate notions of hierarchy as archaic relics. Epstein will lead a tour and discussion of Age of You\, with refreshments to follow. \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\n  \n\n \nHannah Epstein\, You’re Tearing Me Apart\, 2019.\n

SUMMARY:From the Bay Area to the Arctic:  Shezad Dawood and Alice Xia Zhu
DESCRIPTION:Artist Shezad Dawood is joined by researcher Alice Xia Zhu for a conversation that addresses the fate of microplastics in marine and freshwater contexts\, from the San Francisco Bay to the Arctic. This programme is organised in dialogue with Shezad Dawood’s exhibition Leviathan\, presented on MOCA’s Floor 4. Leviathan is an ambitious “episodic monster” consisting of ten filmic episodes that envisage a future\, uncannily much like our present\, to consider possible links between borders\, mental health\, and marine welfare. \nShezad Dawood is an interdisciplinary artist\, who uses research and collaboration as a way of informing his work in film\, installation\, writing\, publishing\, VR and sculpture. His key concerns are marine ecology\, non-aligned movement and the ethics of place. Dawood’s work has been exhibited and won awards at multiple biennales and film festivals\, and features in the permanent collections of LACMA\, TATE\, and the British Museum\, among others. \nAlice Xia Zhu is a Master’s student working under Chelsea Rochman in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. She studies the sources and fate of microplastics in San Francisco Bay. Alice hopes her research can inform policy to mitigate plastic pollution entering The Bay. Alice is also a part of the U of T Trash Team\, a team of graduate and undergraduate students who strive to connect people and increase literacy concerning material consumption and waste with creative and practical actions. \nPublic programmes for Leviathan are supported by Brenda Simpson.  \nRegister Here \nImage Credit: Location in the Arctic\, Clara Thaysen\, 2017.

SUMMARY:What is The Extreme Self?
DESCRIPTION:Shumon Basar\, Douglas Coupland and Agnieszka Kurant in conversation.\nModerated by Joachim Johnson \nDuring the opening week of Age of You\, we present a conversation that delves into the exhibition’s key concern: data. How have we become our data\, and how is our data becoming us? Artist Agnieszka Kurant and two of the exhibition’s curators\, Shumon Basar and Douglas Coupland\, are joined by moderator Joachim Johnson of HXOUSE to discuss our current and ever-accelerating technological moment. \nThis panel discussion is presented in partnership with HXOUSE. \nBiographies \nInterdisciplinary artist Agnieszka Kurant explores how complex social\, economic and cultural systems can operate in ways that confuse distinctions between fiction and reality or nature and culture. She investigates “the economy of the invisible\,” in which immaterial and imaginary entities\, fictions\, phantoms and emergent processes influence political and economic systems. \nSince 1991 Douglas Coupland has written thirteen novels. He is a columnist for the Financial Times\, and since 2000\, amplified his visual art production with a number of museum retrospectives\, in Canada\, The Netherlands and Germany. \nJoachim Johnson is a Toronto-based artist\, creative consultant and the Creative Director of HXOUSE; a non-profit\, next-generation incubator and accelerator at the forefront of fostering innovation and opportunity for creative entrepreneurs. For over ten years\, Johnson has worked internationally as a photographer and filmmaker with brands including Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford\, and with artists including Nelly Furtado and The Weeknd. \nShumon Basar is a Berlin/Dubai based Commissioner of the Global Art Forum. He is Editor-at-Large at Tank magazine\, Contributing Editor at Bidoun\, Curator-at-Large at Art Jameel and a member of the Fondazione Prada’s Thought Council. \nReserve your tickets \nThis event is sold out. Please see all our Age of You public programmes here. \nAge of You will be open until 7pm on September 5. Please arrive early to view the exhibition. \n\n \nAgnieszka Kurant\, A.A.I. 2017.\nSculptures built by colonies of living termites from colored sand\, gold and broken crystals.\nCourtesy the artist and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery\, New York / Los Angeles.

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: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:DEMOS - A Reconstruction - Nuit Blanche at MOCA
DESCRIPTION:DEMOS – A Reconstruction\, 2018 \n74 vinyl-covered foam modules \nRelationships that are constantly negotiated in the age of the Internet are explored in three dimensions by Andreas Angelidakis’s DEMOS – A Reconstruction. \nThe work consists of 74 foam modules that have been arranged for Nuit Blanche into a fixed structure designed by the artist. This amphitheatre-like space can be used as seating from which to watch three videos that trace the story of Angelidakis’s first Soft Ruin that was produced in 2007 to his current installation at MOCA. \nWorks on show: \nTetris Mountain\, 2003 \nBuilding an Electronic Ruin\, 2011 \nMINERVA\, 2014 \nPlease note that for Nuit Blanche the installation of DEMOS – A Reconstruction is a fixed structure and the modules should not be moved. \n  \n“I started out as an architect\, working in online communities such as Active Worlds and Second Life. I was part of a collective called NEEN\, which in the early 2000s explored the new boundaries of Art Online\, or what we used to call “the emotional landscape of the Internet.” I built worlds for our group\, places where we could hang out as avatars and pretend to be together. I tried to understand what the architecture of the internet could be\, what kind of buildings would grab the fleeting attention span of the online human. \nA few years later\, I visited Second Life again\, and found some of my abandoned buildings\, looking as new as when I copy-pasted and re-coded modules to build them. I began to think of how I could make an electronic building age gracefully\, instead of just looking dated. I went back to Second Life\, and tried to teach a building how to become a ruin. \nSomewhere in the process\, I turned my electronic ruin into soft building parts\, upholstered with digitally printed textures. On these new ruins\, visitors could comfortably lie down to watch the story of my Soft (ware) Ruin.” \nExtract from text by Andreas Angelidakis \n\nLast entry time: 6:30 a.m. \n  \nAccessibility: \nMOCA Toronto is a barrier-free and accessible museum for all. We are located on the first five floors of the Tower Automotive Building\, with elevators serving each floor. The museum has wheelchair and stroller parking as well as two walkers and wheelchairs available onsite for use. If you have other needs we should know about\, contact us at visitorexperience@mocalegacy.webpreview.site ahead of time to make any arrangements. \nAndreas Angelidakis\, Installation View DEMOS – A Reconstruction\, 2018. Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada.

SUMMARY:Stephen Wright: Getting Used to Usership
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Wright: Getting Used to Usership\nThe Museum Is Not What It Used To Be speaker series\nThursday\, February 22\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm\nThe Commons at 401 Richmond \nRSVP for free admission \n  \nThe program of talks\, The Museum Is Not What It Used To Be\, invites arts professionals to share their thoughts on how to create a museum model that answers to the pressures of our extreme present\, but at the same time establishes a meaningful and enduring agenda. \nThe third speaker in the series\, Stephen Wright\, is a Canadian\, Paris-based writer and co-director of the PhD-level artistic research program “Document & contemporary art” at the European School of Visual Art (ÉESI). His talk\, Getting Used to Usership\, will explore his research over the past decade examining the ongoing usological turn in art-related practice\, focusing on the shift from modernist categories of autonomy to an art on the 1:1 scale\, premised on usership rather than spectatorship. He is the author of “Toward a Lexicon of Usership“\, is currently preparing a book on the “Politics of Usership” and a companion volume\, “Not\, Not Art.” \n“The Museum Is Not What It Used To Be\, that’s for sure\, but what did it “used to be”? And what does that odd verbal construction even mean? Since its inception some two centuries ago\, the Museum’s task has been to showcase the specificity of art\, often warehousing exemplary instances for periodic display. Art’s specificity outside the realm of use was instituted as the cornerstone of the museum’s conceptual architecture. But over the past two decades\, with the deactivation of art’s aesthetic function\, a patent dissatisfaction with so-called autonomous art\, and a quest for greater traction amongst practitioners\, it is art’s compatibility with other social processes that has come to replace specificity as art’s operative horizon. Today museums — or at least those that care about keeping step with art’s evolving modus operandi — find themselves repurposing what they are “used to” as they experiment with this compatibility and make way for its usership. Still\, is there some link between the proscription of use and what the museum “used to be”? There is a line in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night\, “How use doth breed a habit in man!”\, which seems to point to a gradual slippage from one use\, to common use\, to custom\, to habit. Today\, breaking the modernist museum’s habits (not bad habits\, merely ill adapted to the challenges of the present) requires reverse engineering that trajectory toward new modes of common use.” – Stephen Wright

SUMMARY:Kate Fowle: The Reflexive Museum
DESCRIPTION:Kate Fowle: The Reflexive Museum\nThe Museum Is Not What It Used To Be speaker series\nWednesday\, November 29\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm\nScrap Metal Gallery\, 11 Dublin Street\, Unit E \n  \n\n\n\n\nKate Fowle is Chief Curator for the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and Director-at-Large at Independent Curators International (ICI) in New York. \nFounded in 2008\, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art was one of the new wave of institutions established since the turn of the millennium in (re)emerging art centres around the world. Conceived as a place where people\, art\, and ideas\, create history\, the Museum provides access to knowledge\, the agency to ask questions\, and a forum for public debate. Through prioritizing collaboration and dialog it has developed as a production house\, working closely with artists to form a broad program of exhibitions\, performance\, education\, training\, research\, and publishing that engages with both international and local concerns. \nHaving welcomed over 2 million visitors since 2015—when Garage moved to its first permanent home—the Museum has become integral to Moscow’s creative life.  Now\, in preparation for the 10th anniversary\, attentions are turning to the future. As a contemporary institution in an evolving\, young culture—one that is not beholden to either the nineteenth- or twentieth-century museum models—the question is what imaginaries will support the advancement of a reflexive museum that can critically contribute to twenty-first-century society? \nWith thanks to Scrap Metal Gallery for providing the venue.

SUMMARY:Basil AlZeri: The Most Prized Of All Closets
DESCRIPTION:Basil AlZeri’s performance-lecture The Most Prized of All Closets explores the dual function of the pantry as a site of preservation and resistance. The pantry serves a basic function in a home as the place where fermented\, pickled\, preserved and dried foods are stored. With the advent of the global production and distribution of food\, many people are losing their connection to their local food practices\, traditions\, cultures\, and\, thus\, their pantries. For this reason\, social movements aiming to revitalize local food cultures and establish food sovereignty see the pantry as a vital site in the struggle against globalization and colonialism. Through an examination of the role of the pantry in Canada\, Estonia\, and Palestine\, AlZeri examines the pantry as a complex site where cultural\, economic\, political and social preservation become intertwined with practices of resistance. \n  \nBasil AlZeri: Most Prized Of All Closets\nPart of The Art of Propagation series\nWednesday\, November 8\, 7 – 9 pm\nHenderson Brewery\, 128A Sterling Rd.\nRSVP for free admission \n  \nThe Art of Propagation \nThe Art of Propagation presents a monthly conversation about varied relationships between culture\, food and social histories. The series features artists who broaden perspectives on art and culture through acts and projects of cultivation\, fermentation and propagation. \n  \nThe series will continue every second Wednesday of the month through March 2018 at Henderson Brewery\, MOCA’s future neighbour on Sterling Rd. \n  \nBasil AlZeri \nBasil AlZeri is a visual artist living and working in Toronto\, Canada. AlZeri’s practice involves the intersection of art\, education\, and food\, taking multiple forms\, such as performance\, interventions\, gallery and public installation. AlZeri’s work examines the socio-political dynamics of the family and its intersection with cultural practices\, drawing on the necessities of everyday life and the visibility of labour as sites of exploration. His work aims to facilitate a space for empathy through gestures of inclusivity and generosity. \n  \nHenderson Brewing Co.\n128A Sterling Rd\nHenderson Brewing company is a locally owned\, award winning\, neighbourhood brewery in downtown Toronto.

SUMMARY:MOCA Lounge at Art Toronto
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with superkül\, MOCA will be sharing proposals for the entry floor landscape of its future home on Sterling Road within a lounge in the SOLO Section of the fair. \nsuperkül’s seating structure responds to the mushroom column heads found in the Auto Building\, designed by architect J. W. Schreiber. Erected in 1919\, the building continues to be an important early example of flat-slab concrete construction. At the fair\, MOCA’s installation will act as a prototype for a circular seating composition that tests form\, scale\, user-friendliness and flexibility. A key element of the finish\, the surface detailing\, will be inspired by material textures found inside the heritage building. \nCome join the conversation and help select final aspects of the design in the lead up to MOCA’s opening in spring 2018. \n  \nArt Toronto \nFriday\, October 27\, 12 – 8pm\nSaturday\, October 28\, 12 – 8pm\nSunday\, October 29\, 12 – 6pm\nMonday\, October 30\, 12 – 6pm \nMetro Toronto Convention Centre\nNorth Building\, Exhibit Hall A & B\n255 Front Street West\, Toronto  \nFounded in 2000\, Art Toronto is Canada’s international contemporary and modern art fair\, located at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in the city’s downtown core.
