SUMMARY:In Bloom or in Doom
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \n“In Bloom or in Doom reimagines contemporary narratives from major online news sources that overflow our vision with images of consumerism\, politics\, and war. The exhibition focuses particularly on the human body\, shopping carts\, and drones\, which I consider the most iconic symbols of today’s visual culture. The body is the container of our individual vision of the world\, the shopping cart is the container of our desires and needs\, and the drone stands for our collective “omnipresent” digital vision. \nDigitally reproduced images are constantly changing/moving\, defining our living space and catching our eyes with emotion and shock value. However\, I feel that due to the current era of image oversaturation\, we become more desensitized in reflecting how the symbolic meaning of these images actually affect our view of the world. For this reason\, I turn to medieval\, “slow-paced” media as egg tempera and relief printing for “really looking” at scenes that define our society and questioning if we are thriving or heading towards an imminent downfall.” \nAbout the artist \nAdrian Gor’s work combines writing\, egg-tempera painting\, relief printing\, and hand crafted organic materials. His medieval-inspired multi-processed techniques of line making and gilding drives him to question todays symbols of human desire and containers of truth in our visual culture. Adrian completed his PhD in the Humanities (Interdisciplinary) Program at Concordia University (2015) combining studies in Theology/Philosophy\, Art History\, and Studio Arts. He also has an MFA in Drawing/Painting from the School of Visual Arts\, Univer- sity of Windsor (2010). \n

SUMMARY:Borough Burrow
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \n“When I consider my prints\, it is always in the context of the city; the lived realities of its inhabitants\, the politics of displacement\, the concept of home\, and the trauma of constant change and restructuring. My work critically engages with aspects of urban development and displacement; considering how wildlife is dislodged by expanding metropolitan areas\, as well as how gentrification acts as an extension of colonialism. I focus on the changing concept of what it means to live in cities\, as well as what cities should be\, and for whom they should be designed. \nMy recent work consists of printed installations\, ranging in size from ten-meter long murals to small pieces\, which are collaged on-site to form immersive environments. Currently\, I am developing a series of black and white wood- cuts that\, by virtue of their dimensions and verticality\, emulate buildings in high density urban landscapes\, forming a cityscape that is both familiar and\nanomalous. Manipulating photographic images collected at sites of urban development\, I superimposed images of wildlife into these spaces\, creating strange and unnerving scenes. I also place printed wildlife back into the city by wheat-pasting it in areas where urban spaces become overgrown\, where plants meet concrete.” \nAbout the artist \nChristeen Francis is a printmaker\, musician\, and activist based in Montreal. She is committed to print that engages with local communities and the public at large. Her research interests include urban wildlife and the homogenization of cities and culture. She has exhibited in Canada\, the United States\, Germany\, and Iceland.
