It's Good Enough Here

It's Good Enough Here
Friday, November 9, 2007 - 5:00am to Sunday, December 2, 2007 - 5:00am

Five Canadian photo-based artists, Professor Vid Ingelevics, Lisa Klapstock, Jimmy Limit, Lisa Stinner, and alumnus Michael Taglieri, explore the diverse signatures being etched into both the natural and urban landscape. Focused on the structures and systems of order employed by our populations, with wit and intensity, the artists featured in It's Good Enough Here all respectfully embrace and explore the contemporary landscape. From parking lots to wood piles, and industrial gardens to residential gardens, the images presented serve as a record of the current stature of nature within our industrialized and developed nation.

Cirrostratus

Cirrostratus at the Ontario Crafts Council Gallery
Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 4:00am to Monday, September 24, 2007 - 5:00am

Cirrostratus is an exhibition showing the work of faculty members from OCAD's Material Art & Design department.
Alluding to the translucent and ephemeral cloud formation common in the summer months, the exhibition reflects personal moments of rejuvenation and creative production. In other words, the cirrostratus cloud is an apt metaphor for personal contemplative periods when thoughts are not anchored in day-to-day constraints but have a chance to soar.
Like rapid change in weather conditions, what links the exhibitors is the knowledge that the time for creative production is transitory, yet that the outcome can be magnificent and unexpected.
When illuminated by the long wavelengths of the setting sun, cirrostratus fills the sky with the brilliant colours of fire, belying its seeming fragility in a resplendent display. Shortly thereafter the formation will shift and the reflection will subside, making way for any number of new weather conditions. Accordingly, Cirrostratus presents the opportunity to experience a collection of inspired works born out of respite and reflection.
