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:

The project comprises of four participatory works that explore disagreement and conflict through the lens of art and within the structure of museum. Inviting visitors to share their lived experiences\, the artists present the argument that co-existing in difference is a generative part of our civic responsibility. \nAs an extension to their project a weekend program\, Cultivating Legibilities of Disagreement\, features participatory activities\, talks\, and workshops that frame the question: how does disagreement play a useful role in our everyday? By identifying the positive effects of differences\, participants can develop the skill of agreeing to disagree. \n  \nBios \nThe Department of Unusual Certainties is a multi-disciplinary studio who designs a collaborative process for engagement\, communication and education. \nIn 2010\, DOUC started as a result of a shared need to ask questions about our everyday existence. This curiosity continues to grow and has manifested over the years through projects that traverse urban design\, public art\, education\, cartography and social engagement. \nPamila Matharu (Birmingham\, UK\, 1973- ) is an immigrant-settler with an interdisciplinary practice as an artist\, educator\, and cultural producer. She engages close readings of gaps\, omissions and fissures of the unexamined intersectional life and the everyday. A graduate of Visual Arts and Fine Arts Education from York University (2002)\, she’s been grant recipient from the Toronto\, Ontario and Canada Art Councils and continues to contribute to Toronto artist-run culture community for over the past 24 years; that has primarily focused on artist-run cultural production\, advocacy\, and art-worlding. Her upcoming solo show One of These Things are Not Like the Other\, debuts at A Space Gallery\, March 15 – April 20\, 2019. \nPublic Studio is the collective art practice of filmmaker Elle Flanders and architect Tamira Sawatzky. Public Studio creates large-scale public artworks\, lens-based works\, films\, and immersive installations\, which focus on conflict and landscape in the everyday. \nHiba Abdallah is a text-based artist who often works with others to develop public installations\, projects\, and exhibitions about the narratives of place. Abdallah’s work cultivates a playful yet reverent sense of community that seeks to foster collective public imagination. \nJustin Langlois is an artist\, organizer\, and currently an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean of Integrated Learning in the Faculty of Culture + Community at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. His practice explores collaborative structures\, critical pedagogy\, and custodial frameworks as tools for gathering\, learning\, and making. \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.

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.

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
