Ginette Legaré: Running out of Ink

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 10:00am to Saturday, May 18, 2019 - 5:00pm

Ginette Legaré’s solo exhibition, Running out of ink, presents a series of new wall-mounted works made out of discarded zip ties picked up during random walks and bike rides in urban and rural settings. In keeping with the artist’s interest in using diverse methods of speaking through discards and other environmentally dispersed opportunities, many trails and connections became allegorically available along the way. Her series of ink-deprived sketches alludes to moments seized and possible insights gained— wandering, looking, thinking.

The artist would like to acknowledge financial support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario— and of the Centre d’artistes Vaste et Vague Residency program.

Running out of ink, will take place from April 10 to May 18, with an opening reception on Saturday April 13 , 2019,  from 3 to 5 p.m., at Birch Contemporary. 

Birch Contemporary is located at 129 Tecumseth Street in Toronto, and gallery hours are from Wednesday to Friday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Birch Contemporary is pleased to present For the time being a solo exhibition by Toronto-based artist Ginette Legaré. Legaré’s new sculptural works mine what remains available in reused objects and materials after their initial inscription in, and erasure from, more functional work sites. In these sculptures and installations she continues to expand her search into the often overlooked and elusive relations among objects within the various social, material, and historical contexts they occupy. Essentially, as she puts it “Though much has been said about objects, they remain disarmingly intriguing. They compel me to engage with the ideas, perceptions, and other intangibles they inevitably host.”

The artist would like to acknowledge funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario. 

Gallery hours are Wednesday to Friday: 10 am to 6 pm; Saturday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
