Artist Talk: GORDON SHADRACH

Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Artist Talk:  GORDON SHADRACH

HOW WE PAINT ARTIST SERIES

Have you ever looked at a painting and wondered ‘how did they do that?’; “How We Paint” is a unique artist speakers series presented by the program of Contemporary Drawing and Painting at OCAD University. Unlike a traditional artist talk, this programming invites esteemed local Toronto artists to share their materials and processes with the arts community at large. This dynamic programming will pull back the curtain on the artist studio and instigate conversations around our creative decision-making processes.

Funded in Part by the Slaight Family Foundation

Gordon Shadrach’s work has always focused on the ways people communicate non-verbally. Inferences are made daily by people when they interact with others and Shadrach invites viewers to utilize those skills when engaging with his portraits. Shadrach’s early works explored portraits that focused on the wearer’s shoes and clothing with no face shown, enabling the viewer to complete the portrait; imagining the unseen, and deciding on the race, gender, and social status of the sitter. Shadrach continues to investigate the semiotics of clothing and its impact on how Black men are portrayed.  Clothing can change how someone is perceived and relays information to others; however, society can reduce someone and make superficial judgments based solely on cultural biases. Shadrach’s portrait series of contemporary Black men dressed in historical clothing are framed in damaged antique and vintage frames. The patina and wear of the frames suggests historic weight and places the portraits during a time when Black people were rarely depicted in Western portraiture. Shadrach also explores color and pattern in the backgrounds of his portraits of Black people as a way of examining the innate bias of Western Art and Colour Theory. He invites viewers to reflect on their own interpretation of colors and how they relate to the subject.

Portrait artist Gordon Shadrach was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario in 1966 and has lived in Toronto for over 25 years. Gordon started painting in 2013 and paints in oil and acrylic on wood. He has exhibited in solo and group art shows in Canada and the United States. He works from photographs at his in-home studio in Toronto’s East end. He received his B. Des. (MAAD) from OCAD University and has a Master of Education degree from Niagara University. In the Spring of 2018, Gordon’s painting, “In Conversation”, was included in an exhibit developed by the Royal Ontario Museum titled, “Here We Are Here: Black Canadian Contemporary Art”. In the Summer of 2018, the exhibit went on tour and was presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and opened at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in June of 2019. Aside from his portraits, Gordon is known for his insightful artist’s talks and has appeared as a panelist on the TVO’s the Agenda (Reinventing the Museum) and CBC Radio’s Metro Morning (Group of Seven Out, Under-represented Artists In at the AGO).

Thursday, October 3, 2019 - 3:30pm to 5:00pm

Please join the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and School of Interdisciplinary studies for an artist talk by Yhonnie Scarce.

Yhonnie Scarce was born in Woomera, South Australia, and belongs to the Kokatha and Nukunu peoples. A master contemporary glass blower, Yhonnie Scarce’s practice explores the political nature and aesthetic qualities of glass. Scarce’s work often references the on-going effects of colonisation on Aboriginal people; in particular her research has explored the impact of the removal and relocation of Aboriginal people from their homelands and the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their families. Family history is central to Scarce’s work, drawing on the strength of her ancestors, she offers herself as a conduit, sharing their significant stories from the past.

Scarce was recently announced as the winner of the prestigious National Gallery of Victoria Architecture Commission 2019 which will be unveiled this coming November. In 2018 Scarce was the recipient of the Kate Challis RAKA award, for her contribution to the visual arts in Australia, as well as the Indigenous Ceramic Award from the Shepperton Art Museum. Currently her work is in the exhibition Ways of Being: Yhonnie Scarce and Michael Belmore, curated by Miriam Jordan-Haladyn and Julian Jason Haladyn, on display in Museum London from 14 September 2019 to 5 January 2020.

April Hickox: Artist Talk

Thursday, October 3, 2019 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Through lens-based explorations of site and place, she investigates collective histories embedded in the landscape. Her work observes tracts of land that have escaped development or areas that are in the process of natural regeneration, primarily in the Carolinian forest areas of Ontario. "My work questions what is 'wild' and how we are renegotiating our relationship with wilderness and our environment".

April's current studio practice borrows from traditions of still life painting to explore ideas of personal narrative and memory. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally and has work in numerous public and private collections in Canada.

MacLaren Benefactors and contributing artists are invited to join us on October 3 for the annual Benefactor Artist Talk, an exclusive event for those involved with the programme. Our speakers this year are Barrie artist Jonathan Sadowski and Toronto artist April Hickox. A wine and cheese reception will precede short presentations by the artists and a Q&A session will follow.

T.M. Glass: The Audible Language of Flowers
May 8 to August 18, 2019

Curated by Francisco Alvarez, Dorene & Peter Milligan Executive Director, OCAD U Galleries

T.M. Glass: The Audible Language of Flowers presents recent series of images by lens-based artist T.M. Glass that feature blooms and vessels from unique gardens across the globe. Glass' distinct photographic style is characterized by extensive digital embellishment of textures and colours to enhance the emotion and geometry of flowers. Recently, the artist’s large-scale flower images expanded into the third dimension through advanced 3-D printing technology. Inspired by 17th century European flower paintings, the artist contends that contemporary digital photographers are also painters who work with pixels instead of oils.

The works have been showcased in multiple solo exhibitions and held in private collections in the Canada, the United States, Britain, France, and Australia. Glass turned to photography as the primary mode of production after studying sculpture at the Ontario College of Art and Design and pursuing a distinguished career in writing and production for film and television.

Urban Animal Ecology: Mary Anne Barkhouse in conversation with Susan Fleming

Presentations and conversation with artist Mary Anne Barkhouse and nature filmmaker Susan Fleming
Free public event as part of Onsite Gallery's exhibition, How to Breathe Forever

A new carnivore has slipped unnoticed into cities across the Eastern seaboard from Toronto to Montreal to Boston and even New York. Scientists say it is one of the most adaptable mammals on the planet but what surprises them most is how this remarkable creature manages to live right alongside us but just out of view. We share our parks, our streets even our backyards with these wild animals, that both fascinate and baffle scientists, but few of us have ever seen a coywolf.

Please join us for a public conversation between exhibiting artist Mary Anne Barkhouse and nature filmmaker Susan Fleming, on the topic of urban animal ecology.

Mary Anne Barkhouse's work examines ecological concerns and intersections of culture through the use of animal imagery. Inspired by issues surrounding empire and survival, Barkhouse creates installations that evoke considerations of the self as a response to history and environment.

Susan Fleming is an award-winning nature filmmaker with expertise on animal wildlife. Her 2014 documentary, Meet the Coywolf, addresses the coywolf: a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf which is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities. 

 

How to Breathe Forever underlines the importance and interconnectedness of air, animals, land, plants and water. The belief that everything in the universe has a place and deserves equal respect is the core of this exhibition and positions our relations with others  ̶including the ‘natural’ world  ̶as active and reciprocal. The exhibition invites you to consider an expanded personhood that attentively collaborates and exchanges with living things.

 

Mary Anne Barkhouse was born in Vancouver, BC but has strong ties to both coasts, as her mother is from the Nimpkish band, Kwakiutl First Nation of Alert Bay, BC and her father is of German and British descent, from Nova Scotia. As a result of her personal and family experience with land and water stewardship, Barkhouse’s work examines ecological concerns and intersections of culture through the use of animal imagery. Inspired by issues surrounding empire and survival, Barkhouse creates installations that evoke consideration of the self as a response to history and environment. She currently resides in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario.

Artist Talk: Michael Turner - thoughts on practice -

Sunday, January 21, 2018 - 10:00am

Michael's talk begins at a fall dinner held at the “recreational residence” of a middle-aged couple who patronize the arts not as venture philanthropists but as quiet no-strings-attached art collecting board members who give generously of their time and, when asked, their expertise (but also their money). On this occasion the couple had placed a number of high circular café tables in what might be called their ballroom. After filling our plates at the buffet table, we gathered at these smaller tables and ate, drank and chatted. The table Michael joined included a private collector, a senior manager at a public gallery and an independent curator -- all of whom Michael is acquainted with, all of whom know him as a writer. The topic of conversation he walked into was the Vancouver Art Gallery’s recently opened Dana Claxton: Fringing the Cube exhibition.

(con’t)

Michael Turner is a writer of fiction, criticism and song based in the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. His books include Hard Core Logo (1993), The Pornographer's Poem (1999), Fred Herzog: Vancouver Photographs (with Grant Arnold) (2007), 8x10 (2009) and, most recently, 9x11 and other poems like Bird, Nine, x and Eleven (2018), while reviews and features have appeared in magazines and journals such as Art 21, Canadian Art, Mousse and Modern Painters. He has contributed essays to anthologies Intertidal: Vancouver Art and Artists (Belkin Gallery/MuHKA, 2006), Vancouver Art & Economies (Artspeak, 2007), Ruins in Process: Vancouver Art in the Sixties (Belkin, 2009), and to exhibition catalogues on the work of artists such as Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Brian Jungen and Ken Lum. Curatorial projects include "to show, to give, to make it be there": Expanded Literary Practices in Vancouver, 1954-1969 (SFU Galleries, 2010); Letters: Michael Morris and Concrete Poetry (Belkin, 2012), with Scott Watson; A Postcard from Victoria (AGGV, 2013); and Mainstreeters: Taking Advantage, 1972-1982 (PHG/Satellite, 2015), with Allison Collins. A frequent collaborator, Turner has written scripts with Stan Douglas (Journey into Fear, 2001; Suspiria, 2002), poems with Geoffrey Farmer (Broadsiding, VPL, 2010) and songs with recording artists such as cub, Dream Warriors, Fishbone and Kinnie Starr.

Free

Onsite Gallery
199 Richmond St. West

Panel talk with exhibiting artists Maryanne Casasanta, DaveandJenn and Pejvak (Rouzbeh Akhbari + Felix Kalmenson)
Moderated by Lisa Deanne Smith

Collaboration is the keystone of many of the exhibiting artists’ practices in Onsite Gallery's Winter exhibition, How to Breathe Forever. Taking place at Onsite Gallery, the artists will share their perspective on what collaboration means to them and their practice.

 

How to Breathe Forever underlines the importance and interconnectedness of air, animals, coral, humans, insects, land, plants and water. The belief that everything in the universe has a place and deserves equal respect is the core of this exhibition and positions our relations with others — including the natural world — as active and reciprocal. The artwork invites you to consider a personhood that attentively collaborates and exchanges with all living things.

 

Maryanne Casasanta (Toronto, Ontario)
Maryanne Casasanta is an artist educator working in photography, video and performance. Central to her practice is the relationship between art and home, and art and life. Often documented through photos or video, performances of light gestures and subtle interventions propose ways of transforming a routine experience, promoting an active immersion—and reconsideration of—small, ordinary events. Maryanne observes other areas of research such as, process-based learning and art making, co-creation, and movement, which she explores by working alongside artists across a number of fields. She has exhibited widely and her projects have been supported by the Ontario Arts Council and Toronto Arts Council. Maryanne earned a BFA from OCAD University (Integrated Media, 2005) and holds an MFA from the University of Guelph (2014). She is currently a Master of Education candidate in the Curriculum, Teaching and Learning program at the University of Toronto.

DaveandJenn (Calgary, Alberta)
DaveandJenn (David Foy and Jennifer Saleik) have collaborated since 2004. Foy was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1982; Saleik in Velbert, Germany, in 1983. They graduated with distinction from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2006, making their first appearance as DaveandJenn in the graduating exhibition. Experimenting with form and materials is an important aspect of their work, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, animation and digital video. Over the years, they have developed a method of painting dense, rich worlds in between multiple layers of resin, slowly building up their final image in a manner that is reminiscent of celluloid animation, collage and Victorian shadow boxes. They have been shortlisted for RBC’s Canadian Painting Competition (2006, 2009), awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta’s Biennial Emerging Artist Award (2010) and longlisted for the Sobey Art Award (2011). Their work can be found in both private and public collections throughout North America, including the Royal Bank of Canada, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Calgary Municipal Collection and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Pevjak — Rouzbeh Akhbari (Tehran, Iran/Toronto, Ontario) and Felix Kalmenson (St. Petersburg, Russia/Toronto, Ontario)
Pejvak (Rouzbeh Akhbari & Felix Kalmenson) is the long-term collaboration between Felix Kalmenson and Rouzbeh Akhbari. Through their multivalent, intuitive approach to research and living, they find themselves in a convergence and entanglement with like-minded collaborators, histories and various geographies.

Rouzbeh Akhbari is an artist working in video installation and film. His practice is research-driven and usually exists at the intersections of political economy, critical architecture, and planning. Through a delicate examination of the violences and intimacies that occur at the boundaries of lived experience and constructed histories, Akhbari uncovers the minutiae of power that organize and regiment the world around us.

Felix Kalmenson is an artist whose practice navigates installation, video and performance. Kalmenson’s work variably narrates the liminal space of a researcher’s and artist’s encounter with landscape and archive. By bearing witness to everyday life, and hardening the more fragile vestiges of private and collective histories through their work, Kalmenson gives themselves away to the cadence of a poem, always in flux.
