SUMMARY:Winter 2020 Members' Preview & Public Opening
DESCRIPTION:Members’ Preview: 6–7:30 pm\nPublic Opening: 7:30–10 pm (No tickets required) \nMOCA’s Winter 2020 Programme brings together the work of artists Carlos Bunga\, Shelagh Keeley\, Megan Rooney and Sarah Sze\, all of whom address space as a physical and emotional construct to be endlessly rebuilt. Spanning the four floors of the museum\, their artistic statements are set into a dialogue that emphasizes the transient and precarious conditions of our time. \n\nSpecial performance: Intervening A Sudden Beginning: allie higgins\, Lauren Runions\, Denise Solleza\, Yui Ugai and Shelby Wright\nTo mark the opening of MOCA’s 2020 winter exhibitions\, this performative intervention will take place within and alongside Carlos Bunga’s large-scale cardboard installation\, A Sudden Beginning. Through a succession of slow and deliberate movements carried out by five dancers\, this performance positions Bunga’s installation as a passageway and transitional space\, softening the relationship between body and materiality. Two performances will take place during the night: \n\n7 pm (Members’ Preview)\n8:30 pm (Public Opening)\n\n\nThe Akin Studios will be open to the public (6–9 pm)\nLight food and drink available during the Members’ Preview (6–7:30 pm)\n\nSee all upcoming exhibitions \nClaim your tickets here\nMembers: Please log in first to claim tickets \nNeed to renew your membership?\nLog in here \n\n\n\n\n\nMegan Rooney\, Installation view: Fire on the Mountain\, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Helen Liene Dreifelds
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations with MOCA is a monthly 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\nBody of Work talks invite 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\n\nHow can encounters with materials reveal knowledge about individual and collective care? What if textile-informed objects could aid in relational service work? These questions drive Helen Liene Dreifelds’ process-based sculpture and installation practice. In this talk\, Dreifelds will discuss the ways in which she utilizes handwoven textiles as entry points for her research into affective labour\, social geography\, duration\, and combined sensory experiences such as sight and touch. \nHelen Liene Dreifelds is a sculpture and installation artist whose work is informed by textile thinking. She recently participated in the Akin Studio Program at the MOCA Toronto (2019) and completed the Artist-in-Residence program at Harbourfront Centre’s Craft & Design Studios (2018). She holds a BA in Applied Human Sciences with a minor in Art History from Concordia University (2009) and a DEC in Constructed Textiles from the Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles (2014). She has exhibited in Toronto and Montreal\, including exhibitions at Cambridge Art Galleries\, Lonsdale Gallery\, and Propeller Centre for the Visual Arts.  \n  \n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome! If you’d like to reserve a spot\, you can buy a ticket for $5 and enjoy a free pint when you arrive.\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations \n\nRegister for tickets\n\nHelen Liene Dreifelds\, Meanwhile (detail)\, Medium and technique: Mixed media installation\, 2019.\nImage courtesy of Yuula Benivolski

SUMMARY:Archiving Eden: Seed Exchange by Dornith Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Archiving Eden: Exchange presents x-ray images of 5\,000 seeds — the smallest number required to preserve a single plant species. Housed within a vault-like structure\, the installation by artist Dornith Doherty comes to life during seed exchange events\, where visitors are invited to take home an image from the vault’s walls and replace it with a transparent envelope containing a single Canadian seed. Over time\, the installation will change both physically and visually: from representational to actual\, dark to light. \nThe seeds available for exchange are representative of common agricultural crops grown in Canada\, including soy\, corn and beans\, as well as a variety of native wild plant species. The black-and-white x-rays lining the installation’s walls were captured by Doherty in collaboration with scientists at several international seed banks. \nMOCA presents Archiving Eden: Exchange as the fifth installment of Art in Use\, a series devoted to exploring the ways in which museums can be socially and politically useful. With Archiving Eden: Exchange\, viewers are encouraged to examine their collective responsibility to care for the environment while reflecting on the monumental effort required to safeguard biodiversity. At the close of the exhibition\, the 5\,000 seeds will be donated to the Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Library — a collection of vegetable\, herb and flower seeds that growers can borrow from and donate to. \nLearn more \nThe Power of a Single Seed\nWith Sayeh Dastgheib-Beheshti\n \nJoin us for a 15-minute drop-in workshop on how to grow a native Ontario plant from a single seed. Native plants have evolved over millennia to thrive in a specific climate and are an integral part of our environment. They offer food\, shelter and ecosystems for wildlife and humans alike. Each day of the workshop series will feature a different plant variety. You will learn about its characteristics\, its importance to wildlife\, as well as the basics of seed stratification and preparing a seed to grow in its preferred environment. At the end of the workshop\, you will leave with a seed that is already stratified\, or one that you can stratify to grow at home. \nFree\, drop-in\, all ages\, 1-4 pm \n\n\n\n\nDornith Doherty\, Vault: Exchange (detail)\, Installation view at the Ontario Science Centre Toronto\, Canada. April – August 2019.

SUMMARY:"Age of You" Drop-In Activity: Defying Facial Recognition
DESCRIPTION:Think you can outsmart facial recognition? In this workshop\, participants get to design and construct masks and headpieces inspired by CV Dazzle\, a project by artist Adam Harvey that provides information and tips for creating “looks” that can camouflage the face from face detection technology. Using elements such as asymmetry\, tonal inverse and the concealment of certain facial features\, you will be able to learn and test which design combinations are most effective in hiding from facial recognition technology. \nLearn more about Age of You \n  \n\n

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

Can the Moon’s surface carry a tune? What does 50 years of lunar exploration sound like? In this talk\, Matt from SYSTEM Sounds will share some of the ways they’ve been able to generate sound and music using lunar data and what it means for the people of Earth. This is also your chance to play the Sonic Orbiter\, an interactive exhibit they created for their MOCA residency that lets you explore the Moon’s surface through sound.  \nMatt Russo is an astrophysicist and musician\, currently teaching physics and developing planetarium shows at the University of Toronto. He completed his PhD and postdoctoral research in theoretical astrophysics and is also a graduate of the University of Toronto’s Jazz Guitar Performance program. In May of 2017 he co-founded SYSTEM Sounds\, a sci-art outreach project that converts astronomical data into music and sound. Their work has been featured in the New York Times and they frequently collaborate with NASA to make astronomy accessible to the visually impaired. Matt’s TED Talk “What does the universe sound like? A Musical Tour” has been viewed over 1.5 million times. \n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome!

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.

SUMMARY:Victoria Sin: "If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now"
DESCRIPTION:If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now uses storytelling\, drag and theatrical devices to explore how language not only gives shape to thought\, but shapes thought. The performance stages a dialogue with a desiring queer body and a percussionist to illuminate how identity and experience are not only represented but also created and reinforced through language and naming. \nFor the North American premiere of If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now\, Sin performs alongside percussionist Nikki Joshi and wears a specially commissioned oceanic costume by Athens-based designer Dimitra Petsa. The work is site-responsive\, changing in composition each time it’s performed. If I had the words to tell you we wouldn’t be here now was first performed at Chi Wen gallery in Taipei and later travelled to the 2019 Venice Biennale. \nVictoria Sin is an artist whose work uses speculative fiction within performance\, moving image\, writing and print to interrupt normative processes of desire\, identification and objectification. Drawing upon personal encounters of looking and wanting\, their work presents heavily constructed fantasy narratives about the often unsettling experience of the physical within the social body. \nRecent presentations include Age of You\, MOCA\, Toronto (2019); Kiss My Genders\, Hayward Gallery\, London (2019); Meetings on Art\, Venice Biennale\, Venice (2019); BCE\, Whitechapel Gallery\, London (2019); Art Basel\, Hong Kong (2019); Park Nights\, Serpentine Galleries\, London (2018); and Indifferent Idols\, Taipei Contemporary Art Center\, Taipei (2018). \nNikki Joshi is a percussionist based in Toronto\, where she recently completed the 2018/19 Rebanks Family Fellowship at the Glenn Gould School. She holds a Master’s Degree from McGill University\, where she studied with Aiyun Huang. During her time at McGill\, she received the 2017 Mobility Award\, and travelled to Bern University of the Arts in Switzerland to conduct research at the school’s renowned Department of Music Theatre. Joshi holds a Bachelor’s Degree\, Performer’s Certificate\, Arts Leadership Certificate and 2015 John Beck Percussion Scholarship from the Eastman School of Music\, where she studied with Michael Burritt. \nSupport from Beverly and Jack Creed. \n  \nSOLD OUT \nPerformance starts at 7 pm. \n\n  \n \nVictoria Sin ft.

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Raoul Olou
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations with MOCA is a 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\nBody of Work talks invite 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\n\nRaoul Olou is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. His work focuses on ideas of home\, belonging and archiving the mundane. For his talk\, Olou will discuss his recent work and his use of documentary processes across various disciplines\, including animation\, experimental games and painting. Olou was a resident artist in the Akin Studio Program at MOCA from October 2018 – September 2019.\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and all are welcome! If you’d like to reserve a spot\, you can buy a ticket for $5 and enjoy a free pint when you arrive.\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nRegister for tickets\nImage courtesy the artist.

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.
