SUMMARY:Residue
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nAndrew Testa and Guillermo Trejo are interested in the in-between spaces of printmaking. In their individual practices they see collaboration as necessity (not necessarily collaborating with one another but collaborating with materials\, the studio\, the ground\, etc.). They are interested in the lost and found relationships in print as translation (an imprint of an encounter between two or more things). Andrew creates images through gestures of walking and moving slowly while Guillermo creates through a resourcefulness and responsiveness to the print studio itself. Seeing both artists’ work together\, there is a presence of something that is slow (a long walk documenting many small marks on an intaglio plate being bumped and pulled)\, and something that is quick (a gesture towards space/studio becoming a monoprint). This exhibition explores in-betweenness\, collaboration\, and translations. It questions what becomes residue\, imparting a question of the encounters each artist explores together and apart.  \nAbout the artists \nAndrew Testa (he/him): Andrew Testa is an artist\, writer and educator currently living and working in Ktaqmkuk\, also known as Newfoundland. He has been awarded numerous grants including ArtsNL and a VP Grenfell Research Grant\, has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and has participated in residencies and conferences across Canada. Testa is the Chair of the Board of Directors at St. Michael’s Printshop and is an Assistant Professor in printmaking at Grenfell Campus\, Memorial University of Newfoundland. \nGuillermo Trejo is a Mexican/Canadian Artist based in Ottawa. He completed his BFA at the National School of Painting Sculpture and Engraving in Mexico City with a specialization in printmaking and moved to Canada in 2007. The experience of immigration and distance has shaped Trejo’s work. Since moving to Ottawa\, he has earned an MFA from the University of Ottawa and has been an active member of the artistic community.

SUMMARY:My Data Body
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition \nMy Data Body is a collaborative\, multimedia installation that includes sculptures\, video projection\, large scale prints\, an artist book\, a zine\, and a virtual reality artwork. My Data Body brings together different forms of personal data such as medical scans\, social media\, biometric\, banking and health data in an attempt to make visible and manipulable our many intersecting data corpuses so that in VR they can be held\, inspected and dissected. In My Data Body\, the medically scanned\, passive\, obedient\, semi-transparent body becomes a data processing site that can be pulled apart\, de- and re-composed or as Yuval Harari warns ‘surveilled under the skin’.  \nWhen developing the My Data Body VR project\, Oliver recognized the potential of the VR medium as a compositional and layering space where digital assets can be spatially arranged and then captured and exported as separate image layers. In this exhibition\, Oliver explores this affordance to create a series of large scale laser engraved images into spray paint on paper\, and a large artist book comprised on neon woodcut and screen prints.  \nMy Data Body is an interdisciplinary and collaborative project made as part of the research project Know Thyself as a Virtual Reality (KTVR). Collaborators include Marilène Oliver (visual art)\, Scott Smallwood (sound)\, J.R. Carpenter (poetry) and Stephan Moore (sound).  \nAbout the artist \nMarilène Oliver is an associate professor of printmaking and media arts at the University of Alberta. Marilène works at a crossroads between new digital technologies and traditional print and sculpture\, with her finished objects bridging the virtual and the real worlds. Oliver uses various scanning technologies\, such as MRI and CT to create artworks that invite us to materially contemplate our increasingly digitized selves and better understand what sociologist Deborah Lupton terms our\, human-data assemblages. Marilene’s print works have been featured in several high-profile printmaking books including Installations and Experimental Printmaking by Alexia Tala and Printmaking: a Contemporary Perspective by Paul Coldwell.
