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. 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. \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.

DESCRIPTION: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.

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. Please arrive early to view the exhibition. \n\n \nAgnieszka Kurant\, A.A.I. 2017.\nSculptures built by colonies of living termites from colored sand\, gold and broken crystals.\nCourtesy the artist and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery\, New York / Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Painting with Food
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores different ways to create art using sustainable and natural materials. Artist Maria Queiroga will show participants how to use foods like beet juice and hibiscus tea to create safe and chemical-free inks.  You will have a chance to make beautiful\, abstract paintings using natural ink on paper. \nAbout Maria Queiroga \nBrazilian-born Maria Queiroga is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working with painting\, photography and installation. Her work is mostly focused on themes of memories and self-consciousness. Currently and in parallel with her artistic practice\, she works at the MOCA as part of the Visitor Experience team. \nDon’t forget to check out The Life of a Dead Tree by Mark Dion\, during its last weekend at the museum. You can observe and participate in a kind-of autopsy of the tree that will unfold over the course of the exhibition. This shared investigation will remove\, preserve and document all the various life forms the tree continues to support. Most importantly\, the project will act as a site for conversations around specific pernicious\, invasive insects threatening North American forests\, such as the Emerald Ash Borer and Elm Bark Beetle. \n\nSuggested donation: $5 per person

SUMMARY:Vector Festival | Bio-Sonification: Non-Human Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Collaborate bio-sonically with non-human organisms around you! As part of Vector Festival\, InterAccess is pleased to partner with MOCA Toronto to host a free workshop with Tosca Hidalgo y Terán. Drop by on Sunday\, July 14 between 1-4pm on Floor 1 to listen to bio-data through various analogue synthesizers\, plants\, moss and mushrooms and experience a non-human bio-sonification symphony! \nBio-sonification is a process to translate complex real-time sensor data into musical notes and controls\, exploring the auditory sensory modality to provide insights into invisible phenomenon. Participants will get a chance to place electrodes onto plants\, fungi\, themselves or each other to have their bio-data turned into music. \nAbout the Artists: Tosca Teran\, aka Nanotopia\, is an interdisciplinary artist. Her work has been featured at SOFA New York\, Culture Canada\, and The Toronto Design Exchange. Tosca has been awarded artist residencies with Nes\, Skagaströnd\, The Ayatana Research Program in Ottawa and The Icelandic Visual Artists Association through Sím\, Reykjavik Iceland. Tosca is currently an invited Bio-Artist in residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto in partnership with the Ontario Science Centre. This summer Tosca will further her research in bio-sonification and bio-remediation with local mycologists at Bilpin Australia where she is the recipient of the 2019 BigCi Environmental Award at Wollemi National Park within the UNESCO World Heritage site in the Greater Blue Mountains. \n“I view my research as a collaborative effort with the non-Human entities I touch\, caress\, grow. Having ‘minds’ of their own\, my work explores sculpting forms with living mycelium\, and bio-sonification. My fascination with mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms) is compounded by a number of factors: fungi are neither plant nor animal and fungi can clean up ecological disasters.” \nCheck out more of Tosca’s work here:\nNanotopia.net\nwww.toscateran.com\n@MothAntler \nAbout Vector Festival: Vector Festival is a participatory and community-oriented initiative dedicated to showcasing digital games and creative media practices. Presenting works across a dynamic range of exhibitions\, screenings\, performances\, lectures\, and workshops\, Vector acts as a critical bridge between emergent digital platforms and new media art practice. The festival was founded in 2013 as the “Vector Game Art & New Media Festival” by an independent group of artists and curators: Skot Deeming\, Clint Enns\, Christine Kim\, and Katie Micak\, who were later joined by Diana Poulsen and Martin Zeilinger. \nQuestions? If you have any questions about the workshop or special requirements\, please contact us at education@interaccess.org.

SUMMARY:Decomposers: Molds\, Fungi\, Mushrooms\, Yeast  | With in-museum scientist Alexandra Ntoukas
DESCRIPTION:Every Sunday\nJune 2–July 28\n2pm \nDecomposers\, such as molds\, fungi and mushrooms\, are part of the final stages in the decline of a tree. They break down wood and create opportunities for insect life. Join our in-museum scientist\, Alexandra Ntoukas\, for a workshop that focuses on the different types of decomposers and their unique characteristics and functions. Using magnifying glasses\, participants will learn how to identify molds and the important role decomposers play in our ecosystems. \nFree with museum admission\nChildren under 12 must be accompanied by a caregiver. \n\nIn-museum Scientist: Alexandra Ntoukas\nEvery Thursday–Sunday\nMay 24–July 28 \nThroughout the duration of The Life of a Dead Tree\, MOCA’s in-museum scientist\, Alexandra Ntoukas\, will conduct research and interact with the ash tree on display. She will be collecting data on the types of insects found within the tree; the physical impressions that destructive insects leave on the surfaces of trees; and the ways in which molds and fungi decompose trees. Visitors will be able to experience and learn from Alexandra’s research as the exhibition unfolds. Every Thursday–Sunday\, Ntoukas will be available for demonstrations and discussions around her work. \n\n \n  \nPhoto by Alexandra Ntoukas.
