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:

SUMMARY:Cultivating Legibilities of Disagreement with The Department of Unusual Certainties\, Pamila Matharu\, and Public Studio
DESCRIPTION:2 pm-4 pm\nAll ages welcome\nFree courtesy of TD Bank Group (no registration required)\nFloor 4\nPlease arrive 15 minutes early \nThe Department of Unusual Certainties\, Pamila Matharu\, Public Studio explore disagreement in different disciplines including urban geographies\, pedagogy\, and architecture. \nRehearsing Disagreement \nHiba Abdallah and Justin Langlois Rehearsing Disagreement is the first project in MOCA’s Art in Use series on MOCA’s Floor 4. 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:All the Headlines We Can't Agree With (Reading the Paper\, Together) Hiba Abdallah and Justin Langlois
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Oct. 13\, 11am-1pm\nSunday\, Oct. 14\, 11am-1pm\nAll ages welcome\nFree with admission (no registration required)\nFloor 4 \nHiba Abdallah and Justin Langlois welcome visitors to a collective newspaper reading activity. Visitors will work with the artists to scroll through current newspaper articles and highlighting headlines\, quotes\, and arguments they disagree with. The exercise will emphasise how points of disagreement with representations of the world around us can be a catalyst for meaningful conversations. \nRehearsing Disagreement \nHiba Abdallah and Justin Langlois’s Rehearsing Disagreement is the first project in MOCA’s Art in Use series on MOCA’s Floor 4. The project is comprised of four participatory works that explore disagreement and conflict through the lens of art and within the structure of the 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\, 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  \n  \nBios  \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.

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

SUMMARY:Kate Fowle: The Reflexive Museum
DESCRIPTION:Kate Fowle: The Reflexive Museum\nThe Museum Is Not What It Used To Be speaker series\nWednesday\, November 29\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm\nScrap Metal Gallery\, 11 Dublin Street\, Unit E \n  \n\n\n\n\nKate Fowle is Chief Curator for the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and Director-at-Large at Independent Curators International (ICI) in New York. \nFounded in 2008\, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art was one of the new wave of institutions established since the turn of the millennium in (re)emerging art centres around the world. Conceived as a place where people\, art\, and ideas\, create history\, the Museum provides access to knowledge\, the agency to ask questions\, and a forum for public debate. Through prioritizing collaboration and dialog it has developed as a production house\, working closely with artists to form a broad program of exhibitions\, performance\, education\, training\, research\, and publishing that engages with both international and local concerns. \nHaving welcomed over 2 million visitors since 2015—when Garage moved to its first permanent home—the Museum has become integral to Moscow’s creative life.  Now\, in preparation for the 10th anniversary\, attentions are turning to the future. As a contemporary institution in an evolving\, young culture—one that is not beholden to either the nineteenth- or twentieth-century museum models—the question is what imaginaries will support the advancement of a reflexive museum that can critically contribute to twenty-first-century society? \nWith thanks to Scrap Metal Gallery for providing the venue.

SUMMARY:Basil AlZeri: The Most Prized Of All Closets
DESCRIPTION:Basil AlZeri’s performance-lecture The Most Prized of All Closets explores the dual function of the pantry as a site of preservation and resistance. The pantry serves a basic function in a home as the place where fermented\, pickled\, preserved and dried foods are stored. With the advent of the global production and distribution of food\, many people are losing their connection to their local food practices\, traditions\, cultures\, and\, thus\, their pantries. For this reason\, social movements aiming to revitalize local food cultures and establish food sovereignty see the pantry as a vital site in the struggle against globalization and colonialism. Through an examination of the role of the pantry in Canada\, Estonia\, and Palestine\, AlZeri examines the pantry as a complex site where cultural\, economic\, political and social preservation become intertwined with practices of resistance. \n  \nBasil AlZeri: Most Prized Of All Closets\nPart of The Art of Propagation series\nWednesday\, November 8\, 7 – 9 pm\nHenderson Brewery\, 128A Sterling Rd.\nRSVP for free admission \n  \nThe Art of Propagation \nThe Art of Propagation presents a monthly conversation about varied relationships between culture\, food and social histories. The series features artists who broaden perspectives on art and culture through acts and projects of cultivation\, fermentation and propagation. \n  \nThe series will continue every second Wednesday of the month through March 2018 at Henderson Brewery\, MOCA’s future neighbour on Sterling Rd. \n  \nBasil AlZeri \nBasil AlZeri is a visual artist living and working in Toronto\, Canada. AlZeri’s practice involves the intersection of art\, education\, and food\, taking multiple forms\, such as performance\, interventions\, gallery and public installation. AlZeri’s work examines the socio-political dynamics of the family and its intersection with cultural practices\, drawing on the necessities of everyday life and the visibility of labour as sites of exploration. His work aims to facilitate a space for empathy through gestures of inclusivity and generosity. \n  \nHenderson Brewing Co.\n128A Sterling Rd\nHenderson Brewing company is a locally owned\, award winning\, neighbourhood brewery in downtown Toronto. Founded in 2014\, Henderson is all about celebrating the stories and culture of our city through the beers we brew.

SUMMARY:MOCA Lounge at Art Toronto
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with superkül\, MOCA will be sharing proposals for the entry floor landscape of its future home on Sterling Road within a lounge in the SOLO Section of the fair. \nsuperkül’s seating structure responds to the mushroom column heads found in the Auto Building\, designed by architect J. W. Schreiber. Erected in 1919\, the building continues to be an important early example of flat-slab concrete construction. At the fair\, MOCA’s installation will act as a prototype for a circular seating composition that tests form\, scale\, user-friendliness and flexibility. A key element of the finish\, the surface detailing\, will be inspired by material textures found inside the heritage building. \nCome join the conversation and help select final aspects of the design in the lead up to MOCA’s opening in spring 2018. \n  \nArt Toronto \nFriday\, October 27\, 12 – 8pm\nSaturday\, October 28\, 12 – 8pm\nSunday\, October 29\, 12 – 6pm\nMonday\, October 30\, 12 – 6pm \nMetro Toronto Convention Centre\nNorth Building\, Exhibit Hall A & B\n255 Front Street West\, Toronto  \nFounded in 2000\, Art Toronto is Canada’s international contemporary and modern art fair\, located at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in the city’s downtown core.

SUMMARY:Amy Franceschini: A Farm That Sailed Away
DESCRIPTION:Amy Franceschini\, founder of Futurefarmers\, inaugurates MOCA’s The Art of Propagation series of conversations. Thinking about site\, environmental awareness\, food culture and agriculture\, Franceschini is invited to work with MOCA and across the city on a long-term engagement. The aim\, in time\, is to filter her thinking and actions\, in collaboration with local organizations\, artists\, researchers\, designers\, architects\, scientists and farmers. Her performative lecture will discuss Seed Journey\, a seafaring voyage from Oslo to Istanbul that linked the commons as they relate to local networks and a global complex of seed savers and stewards of the land\, air and water. \nThe Art of Propagation presents a monthly conversation about varied relationships between culture\, food and social histories. Franceshini’s event will be followed by presentations with five local artists who broaden perspectives on art and culture through acts and projects of cultivation*\, fermentation and propagation. \nThe Art of Propagation will continue every second Wednesday of the month from October 2017 – March 2018 at Henderson Brewery\, MOCA’s future neighbour on Sterling Rd. \n  \nAmy Franceschini: A Farm That Sailed Away\n Part of The Art of Propagation series\nWednesday\, October 11\, 7 – 9 pm\n Henderson Brewery\, 128A Sterling Rd.\nReserve a free ticket here \n  \nClick here to read a response to A Farm That Sailed Away by Alma Mikulinsky \n  \nAmy Franceschini \nLiving and working in San Francisco\, Amy Franceschini is an artist\, designer and founder of Futurefarmers. Futurefarmers use various media to create work that has the potential to destabilize logics of “certainty”. They deconstruct systems such as food policies\, public transportation and rural farming networks to visualize and understand their intrinsic logics. Through this disassembly new narratives emerge that reconfigure the principles that once dominated these systems. Futurefarmers’ work often provides a playful entry point and tools for participants to gain insight into deeper fields of inquiry- not only to imagine\, but to participate in and initiate change in the places we live.\nClick here to reserve your ticket \n  \nHenderson Brewing Co.\n128A Sterling Rd\nHenderson Brewing company is a locally owned\, award winning\, neighbourhood brewery in downtown Toronto.

SUMMARY:The Museum Is Not What It Used to Be: Vasif Kortun
DESCRIPTION:The 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 first speaker\, Vasif Kortun\, founding Director of Research and Programs\, SALT\, Istanbul and Ankara\, will explore institutional time frames\, non-capitalist museum conditions\, zombie institutions and survivalist expansions with his talk\, Questions on Institutions. \n“The average lifespan of a private company is less than a century\, something like 75 years\, but public time is supposed or expected to be more or less infinite. The museum is a three centuries old operation making it older than most countries\, economic or political systems. It has however veered away from its legacy to align with others\, namely the theme park and the industrial fair.”  Vasif Kortun \nFuture speakers will include Kate Fowle\, Chief Curator for the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and Director-at-Large at Independent Curators International in New York as well as Alistair Hudson\, Director of Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.\n \n  \nWatch the video:\n \n\n  \nVasif Kortun: Questions on Institutions\nSunday\, October 1\n2:30– 4:00pm\nUniversity of Toronto\nJohn H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture\, Landscape\, and Design\nMediatheque (Room 200)\, 1 Spadina Crescent \n\n\n\n\n  \nThank you to the University of Toronto MVS Proseminar Series for providing the venue and to Creative Time\, and The Power Plant for supporting Vasif Kortun’s travel to Toronto.
