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\, Archiving Eden: Exchange (detail)\, 2019\, Installation view at MOCA Toronto\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Artists on Artists: Daniel Rotsztain on Carlos Bunga’s "A Sudden Beginning"
DESCRIPTION:MOCA Toronto will be temporarily closed effective Saturday\, March 14\, to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our communities. We are closely monitoring the situation with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Toronto Public Health.\nWe will be rescheduling this event. Please stay tuned on our website for new dates or changes. \n\nAt an existential moment in Toronto’s development\, how does Carlos Bunga’s A Sudden Beginning respond\, not just to MOCA\, but to the city beyond? This tour by urban geographer Daniel Rotsztain will explore how Bunga’s work can help us grapple with the uncertainty and impermanence of a rapidly changing urban environment. How do we locate ourselves in a city that is shifting beneath our feet? Where do our stories live when the landscape is unstable? Bunga’s immersive\, impermanent sculptures offer clues. \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  \nDaniel Rotsztain is an urban geographer\, artist\, writer and cartographer whose work examines our relationship to the places we inhabit. The author and illustrator of All the Libraries Toronto and A Colourful History Toronto\, Rotsztain’s work has been featured in the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star and as a regular segment on CBC Radio’s Here and Now. A frequenter of libraries\, malls and strip malls\, Rotsztain seeks to understand and support the diverse settings of the city’s public life through walking tours\, residencies and landscape interventions. He is the co-lead of plazaPOPS\, an initiative dedicated to recognizing and enhancing strip mall parking lots as community gathering spaces in Toronto’s inner suburbs. \n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy the artist.

SUMMARY:Drawing to Communicate with Dalia Hassan
DESCRIPTION:MOCA Toronto will be temporarily closed effective Saturday\, March 14\, to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our communities. We are closely monitoring the situation with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Toronto Public Health.\nWe will be rescheduling this event. Please stay tuned on our website for new dates or changes. \n\nThough drawing is typically viewed as a springboard to further artistic production\, this workshop will explore drawing as a fundamental practice in its own right. Participants will be encouraged to express their personal experiences through the lines\, shapes\, colours and textures they draw\, contributing to and building upon each other’s work in a group activity designed to open up communication and response. \nIn addition to guiding the workshop\, artist and Akin studio resident Dalia Hassan will share her experiences in contemporary drawing and display samples of her work to provide participants with examples of different drawing techniques. \n  \nDalia Hassan is a Cairo-born\, Toronto-based visual artist. She received her Bachelor of Visual Arts from the American University in Cairo in 2007 and has spent the majority of her career working as an independent artist in Egypt. Hassan’s earlier work explored themes relating to city life\, reflecting the abnormalities of her urban environment in a fantasized setting\, often with gallows humor. Hassan’s recent practice\, however\, has turned toward abstraction\, focusing on the mind and the relationship between consciousness and existence. Her work has been exhibited in Cairo and Toronto. \nThis workshop occurs on TD Community Sunday. Admission to the museum is free all day! \n\n\nDalia Hassan\, DRW 12-19\, sumi ink\, felt-tip pen and watercolour on paper\, 8.5 x 11 inches\, 2019
