SUMMARY:Q.W.Y.C. Programming - Diane Borsato: Arrangements\, 2015
DESCRIPTION:Diane Borsato will be producing Sogetsu-style Ikebana flower arrangements using objects and left-over materials from museum installations and receptions. \nShe will be working on the ephemeral sculptures in the gallery on Saturday June 27th and on Friday July 24th. The arrangements will be on view for approximately one week following their construction. \nDiane Borsato is a Canadian visual artist whose work explores pedagogical practices and experiential ways of knowing through performance\, intervention\, video\, installation\, and photography. Her multidisciplinary and socially engaged works are often created through the mobilization of distinct groups of people including arts professionals\, artists\, and naturalists.[2] Her work has been widely exhibited in galleries\, museums and artist-run-centres across Canada and internationally\, including the Vancouver Art Gallery\, Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, The Art Gallery of York University(AGYU)\, the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec\, At rMetropole\, Mercer Union\, the Musée d’Art Contemporain in Montreal\, and in galleries in the US\, France\, Germany\, Mexico\, Taiwan and Japan. Borsato was a Sobey Art Award nominee in 2011 and 2013 and the recipient of the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award in 2008 for her research and practices in the Inter-Arts category from the Canada Council for the Arts. In 2013\, she was an artist in residence at The Art Gallery of Ontario where she created actions\, like Tea Service (Conservators Will Wash the Dishes) and Your Temper\, My Weather\, that animated the collections and environments of the gallery. Borsato is an Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studio at the University of Guelph where she teaches in the areas of 2D Integrated Media\, Extended Practices and in the MFA program. She creates advanced\, thematic studio courses that explore social and conceptual practices that have included Food and Art\, Special Topics on Walking\,LIVE ART and Outdoor School. \nBorsato is considered to be at the forefront of relational\, interventionist and performative practices in Canada. In his essay\, The Knowing of Diane Borsato\, Philip Monk\, Curator and Director of the Art Gallery of York University\, unpacks and elucidates the complexity of Diane’s art practice saying\, “she might alternately be described as a performance artist\, an interventionist\, or a relational aesthetician. None of these\, though\, adequately describe the subtlety\, intimacy\, and often wry absurdity of her work. The artist proposes alternate forms of knowledge and processes of learning that are eccentric – yet mundane – researches into the forms and experience and boundaries of everyday life.”

SUMMARY:The Innovators Panel
DESCRIPTION:TO BE DISCUSSED PANEL SERIES: THE INNOVATORS\n 	As MOCCA embarks on a decisive moment in our evolution\, we are seizing the opportunity to initiate a timely conversation on the role and relevance of museums today through the exhibition TBD. Taken from the acronym ‘To Be Determined’\, this title describes the exhibition’s central theme: as the keepers of our culture\, a museum’s role and definition must evolve in tandem with a city’s cultural and social needs. \nSounding off from the previous panel (The Builders)\, the participants in The Innovators discussion will elaborate upon ways to contribute to community and culture and where the gaps may exist. \nIn the Toronto region\, a number of initiatives that are modest in scale and significant in endeavour innovate exhibitions\, projects and platforms. Small groups\, collectives and individuals are contributing to the creative and intellectual life of the city through resourcefulness and a special acuity to new voices and opportunities. The participants on this level work through itinerant organizations\, intimate discourses and experimental platforms to expand borders and expectations. \n  \nPanelists: \nXenia Benivolski\nKunstverein Toronto\nKim Simon \n  \nImage courtesy of Gallery TPW

Open to the general public\, no reservation is necessary. Membership and attendance fee can be purchased at the door. \n 	About the Brewtality of Fact Beer Club: \nThe purpose of The Brewtality of Fact is the testing\, exhibition and judging of the beer made by our members. \nThe beer consumed at our meetings is never sold\, but rather shared. In exchange\, members commit to offering frank feedback on the quality of the homebrew\, including its aroma\, taste\, appearance and palate. \nTo Join: \nMeetings are open to all members of the Brewtality of Fact Beer Club. Memberships cost $5 and are open to anyone 19 years of age and up. \nThe $5 membership and additional $5 per/meeting fee (for food/venue costs) can be purchased online or at MOCCA. Registration is limited to 7 persons/meeting. *Note: a limited quantity of beer is available at each meeting \nBeer Club membership will be available for purchase online as of Saturday\, September 6. \nFor all other inquiries\, contact thebrewtalityoffact@gmail.com. \n 	Brew Pub #3\nRelanding from Mugwort \nGina Badger (with Eric Emery\, brewmaster\, and cheyanne turions; the STAG Library\, editors) \nThe STAG Library (artists Aja Rose Bond & Gabriel Saloman\, Vancouver) in collaboration with artist and writer Gina Badger (Toronto)\, curator cheyanne turions and brewmaster Eric Emery will be launching the 3rd edition of Brew Pub\, a journal in the form of a beer whose contents\, labeling and other printed and online material constitute the contents of the publication. \nThis edition explores a relationship with Artemisia vulgaris\, commonly known as mugwort\, an invasive species which has spread from Eurasia across Canada\, flourishing in urban spaces that have been altered by human intervention such as abandoned lots\, rail-yards and roadsides. Mugwort has deep roots in indigenous European medicine\, relieving fatigue\, promoting lucid dreams and acting as an abortifacient. Mugwort also has been used in Gruit beers as a substitute for hops in traditional brewing processes. \nThrough the development of a beer using wild-crafted mugwort from the city of Toronto\, land with which the Huron\, Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe people have a long\, historic and profound relationship\, these artists consider what and how mugwort can teach those exploring the conflictual complexity of settlement. Mugwort can talk to us about taking root in place\, connecting with traditions across distances and back in time\, and how to cultivate these teachings in the present\, renewing our relationship to place and that which grows here. \n 	Image: Courtesy Gina Badger

Mugwort has deep roots in indigenous European medicine\, relieving fatigue\, promoting lucid dreams and acting as an abortifacient. Mugwort also has been used in Gruit beers as a substitute for hops in traditional brewing processes. \nThrough the development of a beer using wild-crafted mugwort from the city of Toronto\, land with which the Huron\, Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe people have a long\, historic and profound relationship\, these artists consider what and how mugwort can teach those exploring the conflictual complexity of settlement. Mugwort can talk to us about taking root in place\, connecting with traditions across distances and back in time\, and how to cultivate these teachings in the present\, renewing our relationship to place and that which grows here.

SUMMARY:Seeking Bones: Performance by Archer Pechawis

I explore this fascination in performance. Using digital technologies I attempt to locate and query this meeting place\, however fleeting. My work is a temporary roadmap. These maps are signposts of the moment\, which I create to share.” – A.P. \nArcher Pechawis is a media-integrated performing artist\, New Media artist\, writer\, curator\, teacher and dad. He has been creating solo performance works since 1984. His practice investigates the intersection of Plains Cree culture and digital technology.

SUMMARY:DOUGLAS KAHN: FROM SOUND IN THE ARTS TO ENERGIES
DESCRIPTION:2014 Goldfarb Summer Institute Lecture\n\n\n 	Sound is but one physical energy among others. John Cage opened music up to sound\, more precisely\, Western art music to a world of what he called all-sound; it seems important to keep going and open sounds to energies. From a vernacular base of energies long appealed to by artists and musicians\, energies course through structures of poetic images\, the workings of photographs\, the electrochemistry of the body\, telecommunications aspiring to the speed of light\, the earth’s atmosphere and the solar-terrestrial interactions underpinning global warming. \nDouglas Kahn is Professor of Media and Innovation at the National Institute of Experimental Arts (NIEA)\, the University of New South Wales. Until recently\, he was Founding Director of Technocultural Studies and Professor at the University of California\, Davis. He studies the intersections of history\, theory and contemporary practice in the arts\, media arts\, music\, science\, technology and ecology\, from the late-19th Century to the present\, with an emphasis on the traditions of modernism\, the avant-garde\, and experimentalism. He is author of Noise\, Water\, Meat: A History of Sound in the Arts (MIT Press\, 1999)\, co-editor with Larry Austin of Source: Music of the Avant-garde (University of California Press\, 2011)\, a collection\, edited with the art historian Hannah Higgins\, of Mainframe Experimentalism: Early Computing and the Foundation of Digital Arts (University of California Press\, in-press)\, and most recently an overview of the aesthetics of naturally-occurring electromagnetism in the arts\, music and science from the late-19th Century to the present\, Earth Sound Earth Signal: In the Nature of Electromagnetism (University of California Press\, 2014).  \nThe 2014 Goldfarb Summer Institute is titled Sonic Praxis in X Actions and takes as its primary interest sound and sound art\, especially as it has unfolded in and around the visual arts\, its discourses\, and institutions during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Themes to be explored in this intensive three-week graduate course include: the challenges sound and sound art pose to “the visual arts” and visual culture more broadly as well as the opportunities emerging out of these; the materialities of sound and the role the latter might play within emergent speculative thought; and modes of intuiting novel political orientations through sonic practices. In addition\, the course will consider sound as one means of navigating transdisciplinary vectors that cut across the domains of art\, science\, and technology. Taking its cue from a range of mid twentieth-century propositions associated with the artistic avant-garde\, the course will be structured through a series of on- and off-campus “actions” that will allow students to consider these themes at the seminar table\, in the studio\, on the street\, and in the gallery. \nPresented by MOCCA\, The Goldfarb Summer Institute\, and the Department of Visual Art and Art History\, York University
