Group Exhibition – MOMENTA Biennale de I’image

Exhibition: The Life of Thing
Presented by MOMENTA Biennale de I’image, Montreal
Curated by María Wills Londoño and Audrey Genois
Date: Sept 4-Oct13, 2019
Opening: September 4th at 5:00pm
Address: Galerie de L’ UQAM
1400 Rue Berri, Montréal, QC

Under the theme The Life of Things, MOMENTA 2019 explores the nature—or even the personality—taken on by objects conveyed through images. Through the eyes of 39 artists from 20 countries, the biennale examines the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which material production is prevalent. With respect to the issues of consumption that characterize the contemporary world, these thingified objects are given dizzying visibility even as, ironically, they are rendered invisible by boundless accumulation. For its 2019 edition, the biennale brings out universes that are constructed between individuals and their environment, highlighting transferences that take place between subject and object.

MOMENTA transcends the polarization between the symbolic and the functional in the economies of the object. To this end, the biennale’s four thematic components offer different ways of imagining the relationships between human beings and objects. Encompassing a variety of ideas tied to questions of consumption, these components intersect in various ways to shed light on the works shown. They allow us to envisage the complexity of the connotations and resonances of things in contemporary societies.

NCY Feminist Film Week at Anthology Film Archives

I am very please to announce that my video ” Everywhere and All at Once” will be screened at NCY Feminist Film Week at Anthology Film Archives in New York City on March 10, 2019

Program: Object Subject, curated by Maya Suess
Time: 6:00pm
Address: Anthology Film Archives
32 Second Avenue (at 2nd St.)
New York, NY 10003 USA

For this program, a visual and auditory exploration of the tactile, the viewers will be invited as they enter the cinema to select an object to hold for the duration of the screening. We are material creatures who encounter the tangible world through our physical senses, and we get to know our environment and ourselves through tactile experiences. Objects help us contextualize ourselves in the world, they bring us together, they help us express thoughts and ideas, they define us. This program presents works by visual artists, performance artists, and filmmakers exploring ideas of family, community, self, and sexuality through the objects around them.

Group Exhibition – The Breadth of Distance

I am very glad to announce that I have a group exhibition. The Breadth of Distance, at L Space, Humber Galleries, Toronto

Exhibition: February 4, 2019 – April 5, 2019
Opening:  Wednesday, February 6th, 5-8pm
Curated by: Alize Zorlutuna
Address: Humber College, Lakeshore Campus L Building, 19 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive, Toronto, ON M8V 4B

we carry continents,
cross oceans,
traverse vast distances while still.

the scent of comfort,
is also longing.
what goes unsaid,
a kind of knowing.

how do elsewheres live in the body?

in dreams?
half-remembered tongues.
in what cannot be named.

Bringing together photography, video, installation, and sculpture, these artworks shift across geographies, cultural perspectives, and time. Considering grief, longing, care and resilience, they articulate how relationships to place, representation, and belief shape who we are and how we move in the present.

This exhibition asks us to reckon with how we came to be here on this land. Whether we are Indigenous, multi-generational settlers, or recent immigrants, our current moment demands we think through how we might build mutual understanding and empathy while recognizing our many differences.

Workshop–Surrey Art Gallery

I am very pleased to announce that I will have a workshop with youth at  Surrey Art Gallery, BC,  as part of Art Together on April 3, 2018, presented by AgentC Project

This performance art workshop is designed for students who want to learn how to use performance to both challenge and change. This workshop combines a brief introduction of performance art, movements and gestures exercises, and improvisations, helping students to create live art images, actions and rituals, fostering new understanding of the body-based art in our everyday lives. Through this workshop, students will learn how to access and develop their powerful and creative imaginations in an engaging and fun way.  Students will also learn new approaches to art making, how to create various personas, and how to collaborate with their fellow performers to create a new form of art that will challenge traditional ideas of art and transcend the boundaries of nation, gender, and racial identity.

time: 7:00pm-9:00pm, April 3, 2018
Gallery: Surrey Art Gallery
Address: 13750 88 Ave, Surrey, BC, Canada.  V3W 3L1
