SUMMARY:Sound Performance | Jeneen Frei Njootli
DESCRIPTION:Jeneen Frei Njootli is a Vuntut Gwich’in artist and a founding member of the ReMatriate Collective. In her interdisciplinary practice she uses media such as performance\, sound and textiles. Much of her work deconstructs the history of the materials she uses. She investigates their relationship to trade\, ceremonial regalia\, and the politics of First Nations art. Her cinematic-scale photograph Knowledge Transference IV is included in MOCA’s inaugural exhibition BELIEVE\, and she is shortlisted for the 2018 Sobey Art Award. \nNjootli’s live sound performances are sonic landscapes; frequencies and living energies that carry knowledge\, information and stories related to her personal experience and the world around her. \nJoin us for a special performance on Floor 1. No registration required.\n \n  \n \nPhoto courtesy of the artist.

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.

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.

Through this disassembly new narratives emerge that reconfigure the principles that once dominated these systems.

SUMMARY:The Museum Is Not What It Used to Be: Vasif Kortun
DESCRIPTION:The 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 first speaker\, Vasif Kortun\, founding Director of Research and Programs\, SALT\, Istanbul and Ankara\, will explore institutional time frames\, non-capitalist museum conditions\, zombie institutions and survivalist expansions with his talk\, Questions on Institutions. \n“The average lifespan of a private company is less than a century\, something like 75 years\, but public time is supposed or expected to be more or less infinite. The museum is a three centuries old operation making it older than most countries\, economic or political systems. It has however veered away from its legacy to align with others\, namely the theme park and the industrial fair.”  Vasif Kortun \nFuture speakers will include Kate Fowle\, Chief Curator for the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and Director-at-Large at Independent Curators International in New York as well as Alistair Hudson\, Director of Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.\n \n  \nWatch the video:\n \n\n  \nVasif Kortun: Questions on Institutions\nSunday\, October 1\n2:30– 4:00pm\nUniversity of Toronto\nJohn H.

SUMMARY:The Museum presents Vera Frenkel's Points of Departure: Words & Works at the Toronto Art Book Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Museum celebrates the launch of Vera Frenkel’s new book\, Points of Departure: Words & Works\, at Toronto’s inaugural Art Book Fair. \nThis ambitious and beautiful publication features a brilliant overview of Frenkel’s practice by Jonathan Shaughnessy\, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the National Gallery of Canada\, and has its roots in “Ways of Telling“\, the exhibition he curated for our museum in the Winter of 2014. \nVera Frenkel is among a small number of artists who have changed the way in which art is practiced in Canada. Her recombinant\, exploratory works\, addressing themes of human migration\, cultural memory\, censorship and the bureaucratization of experience have been exhibited in key venues from documenta IX\, Kassel to the Setagaya Art Museum\, Tokyo; from MoMA\, New York to the Martin-Gropius Bau\, Berlin. \nThe book explores Frenkel’s use of interdisciplinary\, socially engaged approaches throughout her practice and underscores the impact of her work on Canadian contemporary art. \nVera Frenkel and Jonathan Shaughnessy plan to be in attendance. \nDate and time:\nSaturday\, June 18\, 3-5pm (Remarks at 3:30pm). Free Admission. \nLocation:\nArtscape Youngplace\n1​80 Shaw Street\, Toronto\, ON \nAbout TOABF:\nThe Toronto Art Book Fair (TOABF) is a free public event featuring curated exhibitions\, 75 Canadian and international vendors\, and community programming that includes a speaker series\, readings\, talks\, launches and workshops.
