Shirin Fathi MOCA Toronto

Artists on Artists: Shirin Fathi on “Age of You”

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

Shirin Fathi is an Iranian-Canadian artist whose work focuses on cultural changes in relation to gender identity. Through role-play and the use of cosmetics, masks and prosthetics, Fathi uses her own body as a subject to stage ambiguous and often marginalized identities. Fathi will lead a tour and discussion of "Age of You", with refreshments to follow.

MOCA’s Artists on Artists series is a programme where local artists are invited to discuss MOCA’s current exhibitions, or a single artwork, in any format or direction of their choosing.

Martin Creed

Art Metropole – Martin Creed: Getting Changed

Art Metropole at MOCA 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto, Ontario

London artist, musician, and Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed has created many works involving live music, dance, and language—in the form of word-sculptures, talks, and songs. Most recently he has been developing a new one-person show, Getting Changed, which is a hybrid of a talk, a concert, and a cabaret. Creed has been described as “part court jester and part subversive philosopher,” and his new show explores borders both personal and national, communication in the form of clothes, and words as clothes for feelings—presented in his witty, responsive, freestyle way.

Shezad and Alice Talk

From the Bay Area to the Arctic: Shezad Dawood and Alice Xia Zhu

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

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.

Draw the internet

“Age of You” Drop-in Activity: Draw the Internet

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

What does the internet look like to you? MOCA invites you to consider this question as you explore the exhibition "Age of You", which highlights themes like data, artificial intelligence, surveillance and the limitless capabilities of the internet. Then, visit the Art Hub on Floor 1 and draw how you imagine the internet in your mind’s eye. You can add your drawing to a cumulative piece that will reveal, over the course of the day, how our visitors see the internet — as an infinite, sprawling collective of images and ideas.

Stephanie Comilang

Nuit Blanche: “It All Makes Sense” by Stephanie Comilang

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

Stephanie Comilang creates a video, light, scent and textile installation for Nuit Blanche. "It All Makes Sense" recreates a memory of the first time Comilang saw "Perfumed Nightmare" by Kidlat Tahimik — a figure who, like Comilang’s father, comes from Baguio, a mountain city and old American airbase in the Philippines. This teen moment in a basement changed Comilang’s perspective on life.

Hannah Epstein MOCA Toronto

Artists on Artists: Hannah Epstein on “Age of You”

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

Hannah Epstein works at the cross-section of textiles, experimental games and video art to reimagine the iconography of popular culture, highlighting the cultural negotiation between bottom-up (folk) and top-down (institutional) storytelling. By blurring the lines between traditional craft, popular culture and contemporary art, she aims to isolate and eliminate notions of hierarchy as archaic relics. Epstein will lead a tour and discussion of "Age of You", with refreshments to follow.
