SUMMARY:Digital Justice Lab Workshop: Imagining Feminist Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to imagine a feminist digital voice interface? Through a series of speculative design exercises\, we will prototype and discuss what voice technologies might look like if we designed them in line with the central commitments of feminism: participation\, agency\, embodiment\, equity\, empowerment\, plurality and justice. Participants will learn the basics of designing a conversational UI but no prior coding skills are needed. \nImagining Feminist Interfaces is presented in partnership with Digital Justice Lab and Trinity Square Video. \ntendernet is a collective of female-identifying technologists\, writers\, educators\, designers and activists whose work explores speculative design\, networked devices and privacy through an intersectional feminist framework. Most recently\, the collective has led workshops aimed at developing radical feminist interventions to emerging technologies\, with a focus on voice interfaces. Becca Ricks and Zoe Bachman are co-founders of tendernet. tendernet.us \nThe Digital Justice Lab’s (DJL) mission is to focus on building a more just and equitable digital future. Working alongside technologists\, community activists and policymakers\, DJL helps shape a better public understanding of technology and its impact on communities across the country. Through capacity building\, public engagement and continuous collaboration\, DJL supports diverse communities in making informed decisions around digital issues. Digital Justice Lab is a project of Tides Canada\, a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing uncommon solutions for the common good. \nWe recommend that workshop participants bring a laptop. \nThis workshop is part of a series of workshops presented in partnership with Digital Justice Lab for Age of You. \nRegister here \n  \n\n  \n \n\n\n\nImage courtesy Digital Justice Lab

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!

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.

SUMMARY:Artists on Artists: Hannah Epstein on "Age of You"
DESCRIPTION: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.

Epstein will lead a tour and discussion of Age of You\, with refreshments to follow. \nMOCA’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. \n\n  \n\n \nHannah Epstein\, You’re Tearing Me Apart\, 2019.\n

SUMMARY:Pint-Sized Conversations: Body of Work with Cason Sharpe (Art Metropole)
DESCRIPTION:Pint-Sized Conversations a weekly 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\n“Body of Work” talk invites 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\nCason Sharpe will give an introduction to the world of arts publishing by providing micro-reviews of three titles available from the Art Metropole catalogue. By dissecting these three books\, Cason will distinguish the artist book as a unique form that exists in conversation with but separately from the more traditional worlds of visual art or literary publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\nCason Sharpe is a writer currently based in Toronto. His fiction and criticism has appeared in Canadian Art\, C Magazine\, PRISM International\, The Hart House Review\, and GUTS Canadian Feminist Magazine\, among others. His first collection of short stories\, Our Lady of Perpetual Realness\, was released by Metatron Press in 2017. He has worked as the Manager of Art Metropole since 2018. \n\n\n\n\n\nArt Metropole is a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the production\, dissemination and contextualization of artist-initiated publication in any media\, especially those formats and practices predisposed to sharing and circulation. Found in 1974 by the artist collective General Idea\, Art Metropole now operates a retail storefront in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto\, as well as its own publishing program\, and an extensive archive at the National Gallery of Canada.\n\n\nLearn more about Pint-Sized Conversations\n\nPhoto by Ben Rahn Photography Inc.

SUMMARY:From the Bay Area to the Arctic:  Shezad Dawood and Alice Xia Zhu
DESCRIPTION: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. \nShezad Dawood is an interdisciplinary artist\, who uses research and collaboration as a way of informing his work in film\, installation\, writing\, publishing\, VR and sculpture. His key concerns are marine ecology\, non-aligned movement and the ethics of place. Dawood’s work has been exhibited and won awards at multiple biennales and film festivals\, and features in the permanent collections of LACMA\, TATE\, and the British Museum\, among others. \nAlice Xia Zhu is a Master’s student working under Chelsea Rochman in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. She studies the sources and fate of microplastics in San Francisco Bay. Alice hopes her research can inform policy to mitigate plastic pollution entering The Bay. Alice is also a part of the U of T Trash Team\, a team of graduate and undergraduate students who strive to connect people and increase literacy concerning material consumption and waste with creative and practical actions. \nPublic programmes for Leviathan are supported by Brenda Simpson.  \nRegister Here \nImage Credit: Location in the Arctic\, Clara Thaysen\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Art Metropole - Martin Creed: Getting Changed
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis concert kicks off Creed’s 2019/2020 North American tour. Part of the performance will also be recorded for a forthcoming Art Metropole release\, alongside a vinyl re-release of “I Can’t Move”\, originally published by Art Metropole as a CD in 1999. \nProduced with support from Museum of Contemporary Art\, Toronto \nGet tickets here

SUMMARY:What is The Extreme Self?
DESCRIPTION:Shumon Basar\, Douglas Coupland and Agnieszka Kurant in conversation.\nModerated by Joachim Johnson \nDuring the opening week of Age of You\, we present a conversation that delves into the exhibition’s key concern: data. How have we become our data\, and how is our data becoming us? Artist Agnieszka Kurant and two of the exhibition’s curators\, Shumon Basar and Douglas Coupland\, are joined by moderator Joachim Johnson of HXOUSE to discuss our current and ever-accelerating technological moment. \nThis panel discussion is presented in partnership with HXOUSE. \nBiographies \nInterdisciplinary artist Agnieszka Kurant explores how complex social\, economic and cultural systems can operate in ways that confuse distinctions between fiction and reality or nature and culture. She investigates “the economy of the invisible\,” in which immaterial and imaginary entities\, fictions\, phantoms and emergent processes influence political and economic systems. \nSince 1991 Douglas Coupland has written thirteen novels. He is a columnist for the Financial Times\, and since 2000\, amplified his visual art production with a number of museum retrospectives\, in Canada\, The Netherlands and Germany. \nJoachim Johnson is a Toronto-based artist\, creative consultant and the Creative Director of HXOUSE; a non-profit\, next-generation incubator and accelerator at the forefront of fostering innovation and opportunity for creative entrepreneurs. For over ten years\, Johnson has worked internationally as a photographer and filmmaker with brands including Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford\, and with artists including Nelly Furtado and The Weeknd. \nShumon Basar is a Berlin/Dubai based Commissioner of the Global Art Forum. He is Editor-at-Large at Tank magazine\, Contributing Editor at Bidoun\, Curator-at-Large at Art Jameel and a member of the Fondazione Prada’s Thought Council. \nReserve your tickets \nThis event is sold out. Please see all our Age of You public programmes here. \nAge of You will be open until 7pm on September 5.

SUMMARY:Painting with Food
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores different ways to create art using sustainable and natural materials.

DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the first exhibition of Akin residency artists at MOCA: \nAdria Mirabelli\, Carrie Chisholm\, David Constantino Salazar\, Emily Woudenberg\, Emma White\, Eva Kolcze\, Helen Liene Dreifelds\, Humboldt Magnussen\, Jennifer Dany Aubé\, Jessica Thalmann\, Jieun June Kim\, Leone McComas\, Liang Wang\, Maren Boedeker\, Nuff\, Polymetis\, Raoul Olou\, Raquel Da Silva\, Samar Hejazi\, Sara Mozafari\, Stephanie Avery\, Su Bin Ee\, Tanya Louise Workman\, and Walter Segers. \nThis location at 158 Sterling Road is a site of making: from its beginnings as a historic car parts factory\, to an underground venue for raves and artist studios. Throughout the past year\, the fourth floor of MOCA has served to extend this legacy by opening space for studios\, residencies\, as well as programs exploring art’s utilitarian role in contemporary society. In the context of the site’s histories\, this exhibition features works by artists who have produced within this space as part of the inaugural Akin Studio Programme. An Index makes visible the labours of artistic creation through an open and honest charting of the processes\, challenges\, delights\, and failures of making art in the city. \n  \nCurated by Marsya Maharani and Marjan Verstappen of Younger than Beyoncé Gallery. \nThis event is free and open to the public. There will be a cash-only bar. \n\nAccessibility \nMOCA Toronto aims to be a barrier-free and accessible museum for all.\nThis event will take place on Floors 1 and 4 of the Tower Automotive Building. Each floor has elevator access. We have two wheelchairs that are available to borrow. Service animals are welcome. \nWe are in the process of updating our website to ensure full accessibility. \nIf you have other needs we should know about\, contact us at info@mocalegacy.webpreview.site in advance of your visit to make arrangements. \nGraphics by Strike Design Studio\, inspired by an archival image of factory labour at Aluminum Co. of Canada\, headquartered at 158 Sterling Road.
