SUMMARY:Artist Talk | Apolonija Šušteršič (Light Therapy)\, Aaron Labbé (LUCID)\, November Paynter (Artistic Director MOCA)
DESCRIPTION:How can culture and museums contribute to well-being in society? \nArchitect and artist\, Apolonija Šušteršič first installed Light Therapy in 1999 at Moderna Museet in Stockholm to explore how contemporary museums can act as a public space\, and as social spaces for wellbeing. \nBased in Toronto\, Aaron Labbé is determined to change the way we approach the treatment of mental health. Inspired by the lack of non-invasive therapy options\, Aaron created LUCID\, an immersive sensory experience that aims to help people cope with anxiety\, stress and depression\, as well as improve overall mental health. \nIn a conversation moderated by Paynter\, Šušteršič and Labbé will share their work and areas of concern\, and together consider how institutions can find ways to bridge disciplines and introduce ideas to improve public well-being. \nLight Therapy is the second project in the Art in Use series at MOCA. This year-long program presents works and public events that ask: Can art motivate social\, political and cultural change? What meaningful role does art play in our lives? How can we use it as a tool? \n  \nApolonija Šušteršič’s work is related to a critical analysis of space; usually focused on the processes and relationships between institutions\, cultural politics\, urban planning and architecture. Her broad-ranging interests stem from the study of space and continue its investigation into the social and political nature of our lived environment. She holds a PhD from the University of Lund\, Malmö Art Academy\, Sweden and is a professor in the Department of Art & Public Space art at Oslo National Academy for the Arts. She has participated in contemporary art institutions and events internationally. \nFor MOCA’s installation of Light Therapy\, we sought the advice of Aaron Labbé who has spent more than four years exploring non-invasive therapy options including light and sound. Labbé’s thesis project resulted in LUCID\, an immersive sensory experience designed to provide therapeutic support. LUCID is installed on Floor 1 of MOCA from January 18 – 27. \n#themuseumisnotwhatitusedtobe #lighttherapy #artinuse \nThis event is sold out! \nDepending on capacity\, there may be tickets available at the museum before the event.\nLUCID runs Jan. 18-27 and ‘Light Therapy’ is on view until April 30. \n  \n \nApolonija Šušteršič’\, Light Therapy\, 2018.

SUMMARY:Female Voices with Lisa Steele | Anique Jordan
DESCRIPTION:“They all dreamt of each other that  night\, as was natural…”* \n\nMOCA has invited artist and writer Lisa Steele to organize a series of talks and screenings that intersect\, interact\, or just plain act up with the lively resonances that exist between the iconic contemplations of Chantal Akerman and the deeply\, contemporary investigations of Basma Alsharif.\n\n  \nAnique Jordan speaks about her work as an artist\, a curator and a writer in Memory\, Urgency\, and Performing the Archive. \nAward-winning artist\, writer and curator\, Anique Jordan\, looks to answer the question of possibility in everything she creates. Working for over a decade at the crossroad of community economic development and art\, Jordan’s practice stems from and returns to the communities that inform it. As an artist\, Jordan’s work plays with the foundations of traditional Trinidadian carnival and the theory of hauntology challenging historical narratives and creating\, what she calls\, impossible images. She works across temporalities bringing historical data towards a contemporary analysis. This work creates space to reinterpret the archives offering a new and speculative vision of the future. Principally interested in Canadian histories which speak to Black Canada\, women\, working class communities and explores the relationships between Black and Indigenous peoples\, Jordan’s work ultimately questions the authority of the Canadian state.

SUMMARY:March Break Programming: 'Resolution (Mass of Clarity)' Clay Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Resolution (Mass of Clarity)\nPA System\nFloor 1\n \nJoin us throughout March Break to create a clay miniature for the second phase of the workshop Resolution (Mass of Clarity) by art collective\, PA System. \n“Imagine a dream\, desire\, goal\, aspiration\, need\, resolution or hope that you have for yourself and mould it as a miniature.” \nOn Floor 1 of MOCA you can sculpt a clay representation of a need\, desire\, dream\, or goal to make your intention tangible. The exercise draws on strategies of visualization\, and is similar to sympathetic magic\, wherein symbolic representations – like a vision board – are used to influence real life. Anyone can participate in this growing installation of clay miniatures. \nThis project is an off-shoot from the artists’ ongoing work: Future Snowmachines in Kinngait (FSIK). As part of their ongoing project Embassy of Imagination\, Kinngait (Cape Dorset\, Nunavut) youth were asked to choose an object to represent their desire for mobility and connection to the land. They imagined and sculpted snowmobiles as play-dough miniatures. PA System translated the miniatures into larger sculptures through 3D printing\, and casting in scrap aluminum (from the remains of their burnt down high school). The sculptures are being sold to support the purchase of real snowmobiles and the establishment of the local Land and Cultural Leadership Program for youth. The initial iterations of FSIK were created with youth aged 13-16: Janice Qimirpik\, Moe Kelly\, David Pudlat\, Christine Adamie\, Lachaolasie Akesuk and Nathan Adla. \n  \nDrop in during museum hours to attend this workshop. \nMuseum hours: \nMonday 10am – 5pm\nTuesday Closed\nWednesday 10am – 5pm\nThursday 10am – 5pm\nFriday 10am – 9pm\nSaturday 10am – 5pm\nSunday 10am – 5pm \n \n\n\nPA System\, Resolution (Mass of Clarity)\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Collective City Toronto Documentary Screening: Spontaneous Combustion
DESCRIPTION:SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION\nSpontaneous Combustion was a collective of contemporary visual artists\, many who had graduated from the Ontario College of Art in the early-to-mid 1980’s. These artists worked in a variety of media ranging from large format printmaking to holography and almost all presented their work in installation format. \nIn interviews supported by archival film and photography\, Spontaneous Combustion founders b.h. yael\, Gwen MacGregor and Caroline Langill discuss the collective’s origins\, the role of the artist as curator and how few opportunities existed for installation artists – particularly for artists who were working with kinetic work or electronics. \nCOLD CITY GALLERY\n“The brainchild of Toronto artist Dyan Marie\, Cold City was formed as a new way to exhibit and sell work. While many hybrid galleries similar to the Cold City model have flourished since\, Cold City was arguably the first of its kind in Toronto.” The Cold City Years: Power Plant \nThrough interviews with Cold City founder Dyan Marie and artists Peter Bowyer and Eldon Garnet\, as well as archival photos and videos\, this film chronicles this collectives’ ties to literary and critical journals of the day – the name Cold City was adapted from the “Cold City Fiction” issue of Impulse magazine. The artists also discuss the operational philosophy of the gallery and the devastating effect that the AIDS crisis had on the gallery and Toronto’s visual arts community. \nPAINTING DISORDERS\nPainting Disorders launched their celebrated inaugural show in November 1994 in a rough space on King West. Eye Magazine called the show “a focused\, strategic view of the place of painting in the information age” and Canadian Art magazine wrote that it was “one of those tight-as-a-drum shows where each artist carefully reins in his or her work to create an impression of unity and purpose.” \nIn interviews with Painting Disorders founding members Eric Glavin\, Angela Leach and Mark Bell we delve into this collective’s desire to explore the diversity of expression to be found in contemporary non-representational painting. The artists also discuss their influences as well as the challenge in finding opportunities to show their work in an artist-run or commercial gallery scene that had little capacity to exhibit emerging artists. \nRegister here
