SUMMARY:Between Us: 3.9 Collective\, Protection Spells and "Black Magic"
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n	Online pre-registration required \n \n	\n	\n				In the 2010 census\, the African American population of San Francisco—a city rich in Black politics\, art and creativity—had declined to 3.9 percent. If\, as the 3.9 collective mandate states\, being “Black” is now synonymous with “vanishing\,” what does it mean to be Black\, creative and in America at this time? In their response to the Native Art Department International’s prompt of investigating “protection spells” during this time of universal upheaval\, the 3.9 collective situates the concepts of “protection\,” “strength\,” “resilience\,” and “endurance” as both individual\, embodied practices and collective acts of creative and cultural production. In this conversation\, they will unpack the conceptual framework for their Shift Key-created project\, “Black Magic\,” exploring what it means to bear witness to\, for and with a dwindling population of African Americans—creative and otherwise—in an increasingly gentrified locale. \nAbout the Speakers\nThe 3.9 Art Collective is an association of African American artists\, curators\, and art writers who live in San Francisco\, and who came together to draw attention to the city’s dwindling black population. The 3.9 Art Collective bears witness to this phenomenon and seeks to reverse it by drawing attention to the historical and ongoing presence of black artists in the city and creative expression in its black communities. Through multiple forms of presentation and outreach\, we create and claim spaces to display our art work; nurture young artists and develop educational programs for students; and write about and curate exhibitions meant to generate productive\, cross-cultural dialogues. \n  \n\nAbout Between Us\nBetween Us is a new public programme series where informal conversations delve into the Museum’s online and physical exhibitions. The discussions will emphasize culturally-rooted creative practice and the aesthetics of social engagement to ask: “How do we know ourselves\, and the world around us\, artistically?” \n \n	\n	\n			\n	\n	 \nImage: 3.9 Art Collective.

SUMMARY:Between Us: Eriola Pira with Loreto Garín Guzmán and Federico Zukerfeld of Etcétera
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n	Online pre-registration required \n \n	\n	\n				Join Eriola Pira—curator at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School in a scintillating conversation—with Loreto Garín Guzmán and Federico Zukerfeld of Etcétera on the aesthetics of protest\, the politics of performance and what it means to present collective\, embodied artistic practice in a globalized—yet fractured—world. In situating lived experience at the centre of their creative explorations\, Etcétera’s Guzmán and Zukerfeld call attention to the fundamental interconnectedness between human\, animal and plant life forms in their MOCA Toronto “Shift Key” presentation Letter for Buen Vivir. Through a use of pantomime and humour\, Etcétera call attention to what has now become a preternatural reliance between human existence and the natural world\, elevating the seemingly mundane into critical points of ethical inquiry. \nAbout the Speakers\nEriola Pira is curator at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. Most recently\, as Director of Programs\, Pira led Art in General’s international collaborations\, residencies\, public events and fellowship programs building on her professional networks and experiences as Program Director and Curator at the artist-founded NARS Foundation\, as Program Director for The Foundation for Culture and Society\, where she led a network and exchange program between 12 art organizations throughout Central and Eastern Europe and the US. In this capacity\, she also organized a number of international exhibitions\, publications and symposia\, and created a Curatorial Fellowship. A native of Albania\, Pira has an M.A. in Visual Culture Theory from New York University and is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship\, a Global Cultural Leadership Fellowship\, and a Jeannette K. Watson Fellowship. \n  \nFormed in 1997 in Buenos Aires\, Etcétera is a multidisciplinary collective composed of visual artists\, poets\, and performers. Since 2007 it has been led by co-founders Loreto Garín Guzmán (Chile) and Federico Zukerfeld (Argentina). In 2005\, they were part of the founding of the International Errorist Movement\, an international organization that proclaims error as a philosophy of life. In addition to participating in exhibitions in museums and biennials such as the biennials of Jakarta (2015)\, São Paulo (2014)\, Athens (2013)\, Istanbul (2009)\, and Taipei (2008)\, they often work with street-art\, public interventions\, actions\, and performances that are necessarily contextual\, ephemeral\, and circumstantial. In 2015\, they received the Prince Claus Award in the Netherlands. From 2020-2022 Etcétera is the Boris Lurie Fellow\, at the Vera List Center\, The New School with their fellowship project\, NEO-EXTRA-ACTIVISM\, Protocols for Buen Vivir. Their work has been recognized for its denouncement of human rights and environmental abuses through theatrical and poetic actions and statements often exercised at personal risk. \n  \n\nAbout Between Us\nBetween Us is a new public programme series where informal conversations delve into the Museum’s online and physical exhibitions. The discussions will emphasize culturally-rooted creative practice and the aesthetics of social engagement to ask: “How do we know ourselves\, and the world around us\, artistically?” \n \n	\n	\n			\n	\n	 \nImage: Eriola Pira and on the left frame; Frederico Zukerfeld and Loreto Garin Garcia  on the right frame – credit: Khaled Jarra and Etcétera Archive.

SUMMARY:Michael Lin in Conversation with Kathleen Bartels
DESCRIPTION:Register now\n\n	Online pre-registration required \n \n	\n	\n				Join MOCA’s Executive Director Kathleen Bartels and artist Michael Lin for a discussion that explores a decade of Lin’s monumental painting installations. In 2010 Lin was commissioned by Bartels and her curatorial team to create a significant painting intervention that was installed on the exterior of the Vancouver Art Gallery. The project invited visitors to reconsider the building’s history and neo-classical architecture in a new light\, while acknowledging the city’s diverse cultural traditions. Titled A Modest Veil\, this was the first presentation of Lin’s work in Canada.  \nTen years later\, in her new position at MOCA Toronto\, Bartels invited Lin to create a painted series of floor and seating structures for the entrance floor of the Museum. Lin’s work Archipelago (2020)\, incorporates motifs from Taiwanese\, Indonesian\, and Hawaiian-inspired textiles. Much like the work in Vancouver\, Lin engaged local artists to help create his vision. An open call process employed eleven artists in the painting of Archipelago. These emerging artists also received mentorship from Lin\, his studio\, local project manager Vanessa Maltese and the team at MOCA.  \nWhen the Museum reopens\, Archipelago will offer a meditation on realities that emerged in 2020 via its reference to a chain of separate\, but related\, islands. Bartels and Lin will discuss how his large-scale paintings invite visitors to position themselves within an artwork\, his inspiration for their colours and patterns\, and how his work continues to function as a meeting space despite the current challenges we are facing under COVID-19 gathering restrictions. \nMichael Lin’s (b. 1964\, Taiwan) work has been exhibited internationally in major institutions and international Biennials around the world\, including the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Tokyo; UCCA\, Beijing; Vancouver Art Gallery; Lyon Biennial; Singapore Biennial and Towada Art Center\, Japan. \n \n	\n	\n			\n	\n	\nMichael Lin\, Archipelago\, 2020.

SUMMARY:Sarah Sharma: "From Mommy’s Basement to Outer Space"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will draw a line between Mommy’s Basement to Outer Space and offer a feminist alternative to the technological escapism that pervades our present moment\, justly termed the Age of You. The lone male in Mommy’s Basement\, equipped with technological portals to more habitable worlds\, is by now a common cultural trope. But the cliché goes beyond the wounded masculinity that festers in the extreme right wings of the political spectrum. Mommy’s Basement contains a motley crew of men who temporarily descend and retreat from social life\, including the hikikomori (Japan)\, alt-right hate mongers\, internet trolls\, the new precariat\, internet addicts\, gamers\, enterprising tech-bros\, and (maybe) a few geniuses hard at work. But as this talk will argue\, Mommy’s Basement isn’t a futile space: it is a powerful media lab\, where unjust ideas about gender and social difference become part of the logic of new technological designs. \nSarah Sharma is Associate Professor of Media Theory at the ICCIT/Faculty of Information and Director of the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto. Her research and teaching focuses on the relationship between technology\, time and labour and in particular on issues related to gender\, race and class. She is the author of In the Meantime: Temporality and Cultural Politics (Duke UP\, 2014) and is currently working on a new book\, The sExit\, which explores the relationship between technology\, gender and cultural fantasies of exit. At the McLuhan Centre\, Sarah directs interdisciplinary research and public programming concerned with navigating and understanding the complexities of contemporary digital life. \nRegister here \n  \n\n

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. Their Skins workshops in Aboriginal Storytelling and Experimental Digital Media are aimed at empowering youth. In 2015 they launched IIF\, the Initiative for Indigenous Futures. \nPortrait by Zoe Tennant\, 2018.

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:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Cason Sharpe (Art Metropole)
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations a weekly 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\n“Body of Work” talk invites 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\nCason Sharpe will give an introduction to the world of arts publishing by providing micro-reviews of three titles available from the Art Metropole catalogue. By dissecting these three books\, Cason will distinguish the artist book as a unique form that exists in conversation with but separately from the more traditional worlds of visual art or literary publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\nCason Sharpe is a writer currently based in Toronto. His fiction and criticism has appeared in Canadian Art\, C Magazine\, PRISM International\, The Hart House Review\, and GUTS Canadian Feminist Magazine\, among others. His first collection of short stories\, Our Lady of Perpetual Realness\, was released by Metatron Press in 2017. He has worked as the Manager of Art Metropole since 2018. \n\n\n\n\n\nArt Metropole is a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the production\, dissemination and contextualization of artist-initiated publication in any media\, especially those formats and practices predisposed to sharing and circulation. Found in 1974 by the artist collective General Idea\, Art Metropole now operates a retail storefront in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto\, as well as its own publishing program\, and an extensive archive at the National Gallery of Canada.\n\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nPhoto by Ben Rahn Photography Inc.

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.
