SUMMARY:March Break Programming: 'Resolution (Mass of Clarity)' Clay Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Resolution (Mass of Clarity)\nPA System\nFloor 1\n \nJoin us throughout March Break to create a clay miniature for the second phase of the workshop Resolution (Mass of Clarity) by art collective\, PA System. \n“Imagine a dream\, desire\, goal\, aspiration\, need\, resolution or hope that you have for yourself and mould it as a miniature.” \nOn Floor 1 of MOCA you can sculpt a clay representation of a need\, desire\, dream\, or goal to make your intention tangible. The exercise draws on strategies of visualization\, and is similar to sympathetic magic\, wherein symbolic representations – like a vision board – are used to influence real life. Anyone can participate in this growing installation of clay miniatures. \nThis project is an off-shoot from the artists’ ongoing work: Future Snowmachines in Kinngait (FSIK). As part of their ongoing project Embassy of Imagination\, Kinngait (Cape Dorset\, Nunavut) youth were asked to choose an object to represent their desire for mobility and connection to the land. They imagined and sculpted snowmobiles as play-dough miniatures. PA System translated the miniatures into larger sculptures through 3D printing\, and casting in scrap aluminum (from the remains of their burnt down high school). The sculptures are being sold to support the purchase of real snowmobiles and the establishment of the local Land and Cultural Leadership Program for youth. The initial iterations of FSIK were created with youth aged 13-16: Janice Qimirpik\, Moe Kelly\, David Pudlat\, Christine Adamie\, Lachaolasie Akesuk and Nathan Adla. \n  \nDrop in during museum hours to attend this workshop. \nMuseum hours: \nMonday 10am – 5pm\nTuesday Closed\nWednesday 10am – 5pm\nThursday 10am – 5pm\nFriday 10am – 9pm\nSaturday 10am – 5pm\nSunday 10am – 5pm \n \n\n\nPA System\, Resolution (Mass of Clarity)\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Female Voices with Lisa Steele | Anique Jordan
DESCRIPTION:“They all dreamt of each other that  night\, as was natural…”* \n\nMOCA has invited artist and writer Lisa Steele to organize a series of talks and screenings that intersect\, interact\, or just plain act up with the lively resonances that exist between the iconic contemplations of Chantal Akerman and the deeply\, contemporary investigations of Basma Alsharif.\n\n  \nAnique Jordan speaks about her work as an artist\, a curator and a writer in Memory\, Urgency\, and Performing the Archive. \nAward-winning artist\, writer and curator\, Anique Jordan\, looks to answer the question of possibility in everything she creates. Working for over a decade at the crossroad of community economic development and art\, Jordan’s practice stems from and returns to the communities that inform it. As an artist\, Jordan’s work plays with the foundations of traditional Trinidadian carnival and the theory of hauntology challenging historical narratives and creating\, what she calls\, impossible images. She works across temporalities bringing historical data towards a contemporary analysis. This work creates space to reinterpret the archives offering a new and speculative vision of the future. Principally interested in Canadian histories which speak to Black Canada\, women\, working class communities and explores the relationships between Black and Indigenous peoples\, Jordan’s work ultimately questions the authority of the Canadian state. Jordan is the founder of Black Wimmin Artist\, a network of over 100 artists which recently organized The Feast- a gathering of 100 Black women and gender non-conforming artists held at the AGO. \nIn 2017 Jordan was awarded the Toronto Arts Foundation Emerging Artist of the year award\, she recently completed a 2017-2018 artist residency at the University of the West Indies (Trinidad and Tobago) and is the 2018-19 Osgoode Hall Law School Artist-in-Residence. \n  \nToronto based Lisa Steele works in video\, photography\, film and performance as well as writing and curating on video and media arts. Her videotapes have been extensively exhibited nationally and internationally and some of Steele’s best known work has focused on the female body and its depiction in film. With long-time collaborator Kim Tomczak\, she co-founded Vtape; and is a recipient of the YWCA Woman of Distinction Achievement Award and the “Long Haul” Untitled Art Award\, and\, with Tomczak\, the Governor General’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in Visual and Media Arts. \nThe event is free to attend\, but does require registration. Please sign up in advance to ensure your spot.\n\nMuseum admission is required for entry to Chantal Akerman and Basma Alsharif’s exhibitions\, which can be purchased online or at the museum.\n\nRegister here\nView all Female Voices programming. \n*The Voyage Out\, Virginia Woolf\, 1915. \n \nAnique Jordan\, 94 Chestnut at the Crossroads\, 2016 (image courtesy of the artist).

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:Art Metropole: Nacre Journal - Issue 1 Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join Art Metropole for the launch of Nacre Journal – Issue 1: We Regret to Inform You \nFeaturing presentations by Joshua Escobar\, Brennan Kelly\, Lauren Lavery\, and Anastasia Kolas\, and video screenings from Jessica Wilson and Ian Burnley. \nDoors 6:30 PM\nEvent 7-9 PM \n________ \nVideo Voicemail: \nJoshua Escobar a.k.a. DJ Ashtrae is the author of Caljforkya Voltage (No\, Dear/Small Anchor Press) and XXOX FM (DoubleCross Press\, 2019). Bareback Nightfall\, his first full-length collection\, is forthcoming in 2020 from Noemi Press and Letras Latinas. A CantoMundo fellow\, he publishes Orange Mercury and lives in San Bernardino. \nLive readings:  \nBrennan Kelly is a Toronto-based visual artist\, writer\, and designer. He received an MFA in studio art from the University of Guelph in 2018. His work has been exhibited and featured in publications throughout North America. \nLauren Lavery is a Toronto-based visual artist\, writer and editor of the exhibition review magazine Peripheral Review. Her writing has been published by LUMA Quarterly\, Public Parking\, Peripheral Review\, and has written texts for Y+ Contemporary and Xpace Cultural Centre in Toronto. She has exhibited in Vancouver\, Winnipeg\, Toronto and Cambridge\, ON. She holds a BFA with honours from Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts in Vancouver. \nLecture-performance: \nWe Regret To Inform You \nBorn in Minsk\, Belarus\, Anastasia Kolas is a visual artist based in Toronto. She is the editor and founder of Nacre Journal. Through spatial installation\, sculpture and lens-based media Anastasia traces image residue: her practice engages with accumulative effects of globalized aesthetic production as it is metabolized within locally configured environments. Anastasia holds Film/Video MFA from Bard College and Fashion Design BA from Ryerson University. \nThrough the live presentations: \nVideo: Jessica Wilson – Emergency (1) – loop \nJessica Wilson’s work draws on methods used for architectural renderings\, medical animation\, game design\, cinematography\, and visual effects\, developing computer generated characters and places. The environments she builds are textured with images she takes from the physical\, virtual\, mental and emotional worlds that she inhabits. Her work calls into question the notion of the invisible and the immaterial\, asking if it is possible to reconsider seemingly invisible forces and the physical effects they have on a body. Jessica Wilson (b.1991) lives and works in NYC. \nScreening: \nIan Burnley “1972\, Signing Off”\, video\, 16 min\, 2015 \nIan Burnley is an artist and experimental filmmaker living in Queens New York. A native of New York City\, he was born in 1985 in Manhattan\, and was raised on Staten Island within a multiracial family; black and Polish. He received a BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art\, and an MFA from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. Ian is currently a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts\, New York City\, primarily teaching video and film courses at the undergraduate level. \n“Forgery” is a process in which sleight-of-hand and camouflage are used to recreate the identity and provenance of a subject in order to subvert and replace it. This definition of forgery operates as a framework in Ian Burnley’s recent moving-image works. He often begins by finding an interview in an out-of-date newspaper or magazine and work with actors to re-imagine this outmoded conversation by transposing it from the past into a contemporary setting; printed words are voiced once again by living subjects. The uncanny\, sometimes humorous re-embodiment of the original text is an invitation to viewers to reevaluate their own understanding of the source material\, as well as the relationship between historical time\, narrative conventions and authorship. The scenes described in his films and videos are moments in which nothing seems to fit neatly together at all. \n______ \nDonation cash bar.\nPrint magazine copies for sale. \nArt Metropole is located at 158 Sterling Road\, on the ground floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art\, which is fully accessible. If you have any concerns about accessibility\, please contact us at info@artmetropole.com. \n______ \nJournal online: https://nacre-journal.com

SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Apolonija Šušteršič (Light Therapy)\, Aaron Labbé (LUCID)\, November Paynter (Artistic Director MOCA)
DESCRIPTION:How can culture and museums contribute to well-being in society? \nArchitect and artist\, Apolonija Šušteršič first installed Light Therapy in 1999 at Moderna Museet in Stockholm to explore how contemporary museums can act as a public space\, and as social spaces for wellbeing. \nBased in Toronto\, Aaron Labbé is determined to change the way we approach the treatment of mental health. Inspired by the lack of non-invasive therapy options\, Aaron created LUCID\, an immersive sensory experience that aims to help people cope with anxiety\, stress and depression\, as well as improve overall mental health. \nIn a conversation moderated by Paynter\, Šušteršič and Labbé will share their work and areas of concern\, and together consider how institutions can find ways to bridge disciplines and introduce ideas to improve public well-being. \nLight Therapy is the second project in the Art in Use series at MOCA. This year-long program presents works and public events that ask: Can art motivate social\, political and cultural change? What meaningful role does art play in our lives? How can we use it as a tool? \n  \nApolonija Šušteršič’s work is related to a critical analysis of space; usually focused on the processes and relationships between institutions\, cultural politics\, urban planning and architecture. Her broad-ranging interests stem from the study of space and continue its investigation into the social and political nature of our lived environment. She holds a PhD from the University of Lund\, Malmö Art Academy\, Sweden and is a professor in the Department of Art & Public Space art at Oslo National Academy for the Arts. She has participated in contemporary art institutions and events internationally. \nFor MOCA’s installation of Light Therapy\, we sought the advice of Aaron Labbé who has spent more than four years exploring non-invasive therapy options including light and sound. Labbé’s thesis project resulted in LUCID\, an immersive sensory experience designed to provide therapeutic support. LUCID is installed on Floor 1 of MOCA from January 18 – 27. \n#themuseumisnotwhatitusedtobe #lighttherapy #artinuse \nThis event is sold out! \nDepending on capacity\, there may be tickets available at the museum before the event.\nLUCID runs Jan. 18-27 and ‘Light Therapy’ is on view until April 30. \n  \n \nApolonija Šušteršič’\, Light Therapy\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Art Metropole: Discussion with Scapegoat editors and issue contributors
DESCRIPTION:Join Scapegoat Journal at MOCA and Art Metropole for the launch of our next issue! \nScapegoat Issue 11: LIFE\n\nArchitectural modernity is an emphatically secular modernity that imagines itself to have been recently liberated from an age in which architecture was a metaphysical discipline\, and whose architectural forms were constrained by the metaphysical requirements of the king or the church.\n\n \n\nToday\, architects do not see themselves as metaphysicians\, and yet there is unfinished metaphysical business at the core of the modern project that continually undermines this narrative of liberation. Hidden within the new rationalist core of architectural modernity is the old western metaphysical distinction between life and non-life — the living and the non-living — which in the 21st century has increasingly become a site of political struggle in the built environment\, linking struggles over reproductive rights\, environmental justice\, climate change\, archaeology\, and urban design.\n\n \n\nIn the LIFE issue we find evidence of architecture’s ongoing metaphysical work in the use of architectural building codes as a tool to limit women’s reproductive choices in Texas\, the US military’s conversion of the Aleutian archipelago into its own private radiation sensor\, the management of racialized ghosts in Indonesian squatter settlements\, the rise of neo-vitalist urbansim in Europe\, and the introduction of the logic of automation into burial practices in Tokyo.\n\n \nContributors include Alexander Arroyo\, Maros Krivy\, Rosemary Joyce\, Craig Damion Smith\, Will Fu\, Sanford Kwinter\, Noah Scheinman\, Larissa Belcic and Michelle Shofet\, Fan Wu\, Rouzbeh Akhbari and David Schnitman\, Micah Lexier\, Oliver Vilela\, Joe Culpepper\, Matthew Allen\, Michael Fisch and Erez Golani Solomon\, George Johannes and Lori Brown and Eliza McCullough\, and Adam Bobbette.

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: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:
