MELTDOWN:

An Investigation of a Seascape in Two Forms

Annette Mangaard MFA Thesis Exhibition

The exhibition is culled from video I shot during a two-week residency at Two Rooms in Duntara, Newfoundland last July 2016. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to film an enormous iceberg grounded in the bay during this time.  The exhibition includes a short documentary and an immersive media installation. 

The four-minute documentary portrays fishermen working from a repurposed fishing boat, using the nets, hooks and picks usually associated with the harvesting of codfish, now collecting ice for the making of designer vodka. 

In an adjacent gallery, an immersive cinematic media installation displays enlarged microscopically filmed imagery of underwater tidal pools shifting and moving with the ocean currents. Another area of the gallery invites closer inspection of the iceberg seen in a variety of weather scenarios projected onto and refracted from a series of suspended acrylic discs.

Through the juxtaposition of the documentary and an expanded cinema, I invite spectators to reflect from different vantages on the impact of environmental changes on water, including its economic, community and personal consequences.

Thursday, March 9, 2017 - 11:00pm to Tuesday, March 14, 2017 - 4:00pm

March 9 to 14, open daily from 11:00am - 4:00pm
Opening Reception: Saturday March 11, 1:00pm - 4:00pm

The exhibition Beep-Boopatronics is a project which takes nearly obsolete objects and imbues them with new, but not always useful, functionality. In particular, this exhibition takes a chord organ which plays itself, and connects it to a Beep-Boop Machine in order to examine how things can speak to each other.

Out of Order - IAMD Thesis Exhibition by Kimberley White

  A Study in Time, 2015 Plaster, sand, acrylic, ink, paper, burlap and wire on canvas. 20 x  66 in
Thursday, December 22, 2016 - 11:00pm to Friday, December 23, 2016 - 1:30am

Out of Order

Kimberley White, MFA candidate, Interdisciplinary Master's in Art, Media and Design

December 20 to 24, 2016
OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, December 22, 6 - 8:30PM

"Kimberley White’s research-based practice combines variations of painting, sculpture and installation. In this interdisciplinary exhibition she questions the conditions, limitations and violence of order and ordering practices. Drawing on histories of institutionalization and theoretical considerations of time, space and place, this work critically navigates the tensions between discipline and transgression, concealment and transparency, excess and restraint. The pieces in this collection work together to trouble the boundaries of order, and to consider what it means, or if it is possible to have meaning, out of order."

Have you seen jewelry that is "not wearable"? 

Wearable or Not?: Interacting with Contemporary Jewelry investigates the notion of wearability and presents jewelry that challenge wearing -- some are performative, some interact with the wearer, some even restrict body movement. The exhibition responds to people’s curiosity on contemporary jewelry’s wearability; although the general public knows how to appreciate traditional jewelry, most people are unfamiliar with contemporary jewelry, which is a significant achievement in the evolution of jewelry that developed since the 1960s. The six artists in the exhibition explore contemporary jewelry as a medium of art expression, pushing the boundary of wearability and experimenting with non-precious material. Through creating an multi-sensory experience that allows visitors to touch and wear some of the jewelry, the exhibition aims to generate a dynamic dialogue between the artists and the public, and provide a new perspective to interpret contemporary jewelry as an art form.

The exhibition shows works from six artists, both international and Canada-based. The experience will be engaging and fun! 

Special Programming:

Curatorial Tour -  Sunday, November 13, 2:00 - 3:30pm

Artist Talk - Saturday, November 19, 2:00 - 3:30pm

Natural Born Printers

Natural Born Printers
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - 4:00am to Sunday, May 4, 2008 - 4:00am

They were born to print, or so the story goes. You've seen the blood. Now come see the people who did it. Fresh out of OCAD's Printmaking program, the 2008 thesis group will demonstrate that prints are more than just pretty pictures. Have a glass of wine and view the evidence on the wall.

Seventeen printmakers seek to make their mark on your imagination using conventional and non-traditional approaches to the idea of the
multiple. Utilizing screen-printing, intaglio, papermaking, lithography,
digital and relief printing, the natural born printers have set up the Lennox Contemporary to showcase their abilities from installation to serial printing.

Join them for a celebration on the 25th of April 2008 in their final days
as OCAD students. The show features Mike Bradbrooke, Jessica Brousseau,
Adrienne Costantino, Elaine Chan, Eric Euler, Hazel Eckert, Sue Goldstein,
Molly Grundy, Roman Kalyniuk, Paula Krochak, James MacDondald,
Annie Morrison, Amanda Nedham, Kerry Riordan, Simone Sicard,
Kaleena Stasiak, and Luke Wilson.

Special thanks to Paul Sergeant for the mugshots.
