SUMMARY:Lingering Service: A Panel Talk
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at YYZ for a public program of Anran Guo: At Your Convenience with speakers Carlo Cesta\, Lisa Neighbour and Anran Guo\, moderated by Wang Zi. \nThis panel takes the exhibition At Your Convenience as a point of departure to explore how artists engage with domestic objects through acts of holding\, altering\, and remembering. The conversation will consider how material gestures carry emotional and political weight\, negotiating the tension between care and abandonment. Panelists will reflect on technique as a form of meaning and on the complexities of working with objects that resist disappearance. Lingering Service asks how art can hold space for what lingers\, for what remains unresolved\, unrepaired\, and insistently present.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: James Rollo
DESCRIPTION:Please join James Rollo and Philip Leonard Ocampo in conversation in response to Rollo’s first Canadian solo exhibition “I let the intrusive thoughts win” at YYZ Artists’ Outlet. The accompanying essay\, “Intrusive Thoughts Galore” is written by Ocampo. Ranging anywhere between a skin-deep peek to an in-depth probe\, the talk will dive into Rollo’s themes of “queering”\, humour\, and object/space intervention.\n\n\nThe discussion begins at 7pm on April 1st (fittingly on April Fools Day—but please be rest assured this is actually happening. Or is it? I don’t know. I’m just a blurb).\n\n\nWe will see you then! (Or will we?!)

SUMMARY:Winter Open House
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday January 17 from 6-8PM at YYZ Artists’ Outlet\, a contemporary art gallery and art book press\, for a recognition event in honour of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) as supporters of YYZ through their Resilient Communities Fund grant. Remarks will be given at 6:30PM by Chris Glover\, MPP for Spadina-Fort York. \nOur organization received a generous Resilient Communities Fund grant to help us build our resilience and sustainability by re-designing our website into an interactive and accessible platform to deliver online programming that will engage and grow our community sustainably. To mark the near completion of the project\, we will open our doors to the public for an evening of art and conversation. This digital upgrade will help us reach our community as we maneuver a post- Covid landscape that is now largely remote. We have hired new staff to produce online content and have procured the necessary equipment to do so. We have engaged with digital artists and designers to rebuild our online presence in a way that is engaging and clearly focused. These upgrades will continue to serve our community for years to come. \nOn view\, we will make available the initial audio project from artist Josh Thorpe as part of our re-designed digital platform. We will also have visual works on display from Toronto-based artists James Rollo\, Ella Gonzales\, and Henrjeta Mece.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Prophets\, Richard Igbhy & Marilou Lemmens 
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the double launch of two publication by Marilou Lemmens and Richard Ibghy\, The Prophets and The Power Given to Abstractions That Make Us Stupid. Marie-Eve Beaupré\, Director of the Foundation\, will discuss the duo’s work\, focusing on the central element of both publications: abstraction. \nThe Guido Molinari Foundation was privileged to welcome Richard and Marilou for a residency in winter 2022\, culminating in the exhibition In the MIlk of Facts\, There Always Lands a Fly. To build on the connections between our resident artists\, we will take the opportunity to introduce the artists who will be in residence at the Foundation in winter 2025: Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Virginie Laganière. They will be revealing the subject of their research-creation residency in an exclusive discussion with Camille Bédard\, Associate Curator of the Foundation. \nEdited by Ana Bajaras\, The Prophets: Richard Igbhy & Marilou Lemmens (YYZBOOKS\, 2024) focuses on Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens’ seminal work The Prophets (2013-2015)\, a delicate handmade collection of 412 small\, whimsical sculptures made from everyday materials that renders economic graphs into makeshift models. In this work\, the artists explore what it means to move from a material world of entangled\, interacting agents to a world of mathematical modelling and graphical abstraction. The Prophets cuts across a wide range of historical and contemporary topics of interest to economists such as labour\, consumption\, production\, taxes\, savings\, investments\, credit and so on\, to constitute a diagrammatology of economic thought. The book includes texts by Peggy Gale (independent curator\, author and editor)\, Sven Lütticken (critic and art historian)\, Harro Maas (economist and professor)\, Marina Roy (artist and author) and Jakub Zdebik (professor and art historian). \nRichard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens create sculptures\, videos\, installations\, public artworks\, and artist books. Combining rigorous research with a material exploration that is specific to each project\, their practice questions issues at the intersection of ecology\, economy\, epistemology\, and history. For several years\, they have examined the history of science and other forms of knowledge\, including the language of economy\, the magic of statistics\, the capacity for models to impact the future\, the aesthetics of data visualization\, and the design of laboratory experiments. More recently\, their work seeks to expand concepts of hospitality\, care\, and interspecies communication. \nIn addition to their individual practices\, Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Virginie Laganière have been collaborating as a duo for some twenty years. Anthropological in nature\, their artistic research focuses on the transformations of our built\, natural\, and technological territories\, with a particular sensitivity to the human psyche. At the confluence of documentary\, fictional and speculative approaches\, their work with image and sound aims to interrogate various realities to reveal minor narratives. Their approach is primarily guided by field research\, conceptual thinking and investigative processes deployed during residencies\, which include collaboration with stakeholders from multiple horizons. Through the telescoping of diverse phenomena\, their artistic production translates into protean installations that create a fertile dialogue in the arrangement of research material. In order to explore their experiential and critical scope\, a reflection on the staging of the photographic and videographic image runs through all their exhibitions\, integrating sound art\, sculptural elements and architectural devices.

SUMMARY:Colleen Coco Collins: Live Reading
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Fri. Oct. 4 at 6PM for a live poetry reading by Colleen Coco Collins as part of the exhibition Radicant currently on view. Coco collaborated with artists Miranda Bellamy & Amanda Fauteux in this video installation by writing\, and performing\, thirteen poems in response to a collection of Brendel botanical models composed in a virtual environment. The Brendel Company (Berlin late 1880s-1920s) made detailed models of plants and fungi from papier-mâché\, glass beads\, gelatin\, and feathers. They were purchased as teaching tools by institutions worldwide. The written works are layered poems  investigating histories across time\, plant mysteries and experimental revelations\, personal narratives\, universal growth\, and the phenomenons of decay and rejuvenation. \nColleen Coco Collins [she/they] is an interdisciplinary artist of Irish\, French\, and Odawa descent\, working in songwriting\, performance\, poetry and visual arts. Her writing\, music\, and art practice centers on temporality\, presumptions of sentience\, subversion\, rhythm\, gesture\, geographies\, biophonies\, frequencies\, the ouroboric\, the peripatetic\, love and the polyglottic. She lives littorally in rural Port Greville\, Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia amidst crows\, coyotes\, grackles\, bees\, humpback\, lichen and fox.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: Ryan Park
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday February 25 at 2:00 PM for a tour of Ryan Park’s exhibition Under the Sun led by the artist. \nUnder the Sun presents recent sculptural photo-objects that reference small scale convenience stores. Taking the form of illuminated commercial sign boxes seen on storefronts\, the artworks combine text and imagery from signs with shadows cast upon them by foliage from trees. Evidence of the sun\, artificial light\, photosynthesis\, and objects of consumption connect various processes of energy and material transformation. The objects embed human\, earthly\, and celestial time frames. Working schedules are presented alongside cycles of days and seasons\, and the lifespan of things on the surface of the Earth with that of the Sun. \nRyan Park’s practice begins with the camera as a tool and mindset\, producing works across media including print\, sculpture\, video\, painting\, and installation. His works have been exhibited and screened throughout Canada and internationally including at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto\, Modern Fuel Kingston\, Forest City Gallery London\, and the Blackwood Gallery in Mississauga. He has a BFA in interdisciplinary art from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and an MFA from the University of Guelph. He lives and works in Toronto. \nRyan Park gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, Ontario Arts Council\, Toronto Arts Council\, Daniel Gallay\, José Andrés Mora\, and Liana Schmidt.

SUMMARY:Record Launch: Bill Burns
DESCRIPTION:YYZ is pleased to host the Toronto launch of Bill Burns latest project. \nJoin us Saturday February 18 2:00 to 5:00 PM. \nBill Burns is launching a new recording of Country Songs About Donkeys\, Milk\, Honey and Trade featuring Marshall Burns (his nephew) –  a 7 inch record produced by the Dunlop Art Gallery\, Regina. \nCountry Songs About Donkeys\, Milk\, Honey and Trade \nIn 2018 Bill Burns walked up a mountain in the Swiss Alps at a place called Atelier Amden. He was accompanied by two donkeys who carried a load of salt from the local salt mines.  At the apple orchard he traded salt for a few apples and at the beekeeper’s house he traded a few apples for honey. At the top of the mountain he served apples drizzled with honey and a pinch of salt to a small crowd of people . \nIn 2021 Bill walked through the copse near the Humber River in Toronto with a brass band\, a group of Georgian Chanters\, three goats\, a pair of donkeys\, a load of salt and a beekeeper.  After the salt was unloaded and the honey was rendered the goat keeper milked the goat. Now at the Oculus Pavilion Bill mixed the milk and honey and salt together in a pot using a Bunsen burner. \nIn 2022 at Regina\, Saskatchewan as part of his project at the Dunlop Art Gallery\, Bill commissioned his nephew Marshall Burns to write and a group of talented country singers to sing songs about his donkey walk in Switzerland as well as his goat milking and honey rendering events in Regina\, Argentina and Toronto. The results were a joyful walk about Victoria Park in Regina and the 7 inch 45 rpm record that we are launching on February 18 at YYZ. \nThis project is supported by Dunlop Art Gallery\, curated by Tomas Jonsson. We thank YYZ Artists’ Outlet for supporting this project launch. \nJacket and label design by Shannon Griffiths. \nMusic by Marshall Burns \nLyrics by Marshall Burns with notes from Bill Burns \nProduced by Marshall Burns and Christopher Sleightholm \nRecorded and Mixed by Christopher Sleightholm at Song Has No End Studio \nMastered by Orion Paradis \nSide A \nThe Milk and the Honey: \nMarshall Burns – Vocals\, Guitar\, Wooden Spoons \nChristopher Sleightholm – Bass \nBrigid McNutt – Fiddle \nSide B \nA Ballad of Two Donkeys: \nMarshall Burns – Vocals\, Acoustic Guitar \nChristopher Sleightholm – Baritone and Slide Guitar\, Wooden Block \nAndy Beisel – Mandolin \nThis recording is made as part of a collaboration with Bill Burns’  ongoing project about advanced industry\, animals and trade known as The Salt\, the Milk\, the Donkey\, the Honey\, the Country Singers. \nThis production is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Saskatchewan Arts Board\, and Saskatchewan Lotteries.  Bill Burns thanks Roman Kurzmeyer\, the Atelier Amden\, Alfred Richterich Stiftung\, Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts\, for their generous support.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: Hyang Cho
DESCRIPTION:Please joins us for a tour of the exhibition Certain Things from Uncertain Momentson Saturday February 11 at 2:00 PM with artist Hyang Cho. \nCertain Things from Uncertain Moments glimpses the passing\, accumulating\, and sometimes repeating time in every day through tangible things. There are lumps made of books that I read or unread\, the bones from the animals I eat\, the bookmarks made of stray hairs falling every day\, the living\, dying\, and dead plants sprouted from the fruit seeds I spit\, and the bugs found dead or killed by accident or on purpose. These things scrutinize the prejudices\, discriminations\, inconsistencies\, and contradictions in everyday life in which one can be sensible and irrational\, selfish and generous\, cruel and kind\, vulnerable and secure\, and pretentious and frank at the same time. \nHYANG CHO’s art\, derived from everyday anxiety and uncertainty\, engages trivial things and mindless actions through repetition and accumulation. Her works recognize the uselessness of useless things\, the boredom of boring activities\, and the ordinariness of everyday life. Cho holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Sogang University\, Seoul\, Korea (1998)\, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Alberta College of Art + Design\, Calgary (2007)\, and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Guelph\, Ontario (2009). Her exhibitions include ‘At Random’ at Open Space in Victoria (2018)\, ‘Counterpoint’ at Modern Fuel in Kingston (2016)\, ‘Nothing Much’ at Georgia Scherman Projects in Toronto (2015)\, and ‘Procés’\, at Optica un centre d’art contemporain in Montréal (2013). Born and grew up in Seoul\, Korea\, Cho currently lives and works in Guelph. \nHyang Cho would like to acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Susan Rowe Harrison
DESCRIPTION:Join our artist talk via Zoom on Thursday December 8 at 7 pm. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84258858436?pwd=RDUxUHlwR2xmYjgrZHhkWWNyb3RDUT09 \nMeeting ID: 842 5885 8436\nPasscode: 516770 \nWeather Report on view until Saturday December 17 \nThe climate crisis is overwhelming—the problem is so huge that we struggle to understand its effects and outcomes on everyone in every place in the world. \nWith a nod to Oscar Wilde\, while thinking about the climate crisis\, deep ecology\, reflection\, and all I don’t know tangled up with all that I imagine\, a love of nature\, and a sprinkle of hope\, Weather Report is a pictorial cycle on the gallery walls that explores how humans are destroying the living world in a gothic landscape where plants that once flourished progressively fade or thrive depending on how you move through the room. It is neither a hopeful future nor a catastrophic one. Scale is challenged; with plant forms reaching 12 feet high\, we are tiny in this landscape. Mirrored mylar reflects the viewer but also implicates us in this ecosystem as it grows and falls apart\, and yet will our mark be visible in ten million years? The installation is Monet’s garden for a changing world (eco-system). The series of hand-cut vinyl pieces reflect the struggle for survival all over our planet today and the beauty and wonder in it. \n  \nSUSAN ROWE HARRISON utilizes painting\, drawing\, ceramics\, and large-scale site-based work to explore her fascination for natural environments and our relationship to them. Rowe Harrison studied painting and drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Chicago\, Illinois (1990-1991). She earned an MA\, Art\, Education\, and Community Practice from New York University\, New York\, NY (2003) and a BA\, History of Art from the University of California-Berkeley\, Berkeley\, California (1987). Rowe Harrison has been shown and collected internationally\, including LinkedIn NYC (Empire State Building)\, Hyatt Hotels\, Pfizer NYC\, Arts Etobicoke/Amnesty International\, Autoshare/Art on the Move\, Floorworks/Relative Space\, Bookhou\, The Gladstone Hotel\, Wave Hill\, the University of Chicago Committee on Japanese Studies\, The Newberry Library\, and FIFA World Cup/Seoul 2002. Rowe Harrison currently lives and works in New York. \nWe’d like to thank the Puffin Foundation for their support of this project.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Jimmy Limit in conversation with Amish Morrell
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85194867662?pwd=UjkxdktGSUVUVTMrN1ljcWNqZG9Tdz09 \nMeeting ID: 851 9486 7662\nPasscode: 630462 \n  \n \nImage courtesy of the artist \n \nImage courtesy of the artist \n \nImage courtesy of the artist \n \nImage courtesy of the artist \n\nUneasy Objects: Recent Still Life Photography of Jimmy Limit \n by Amish Morrell \n  \nFor a long time\, one could easily find old photography field guides at used bookstores and yard sales. Widely published from the 1940s through the 1990s\, these included Kodak’s How to Take Good Pictures\, National Geographic’s Photographer’s Field Guide and myriad encyclopedic how-to series with single volumes dedicated to themes including landscapes\, portraits\, nudes\, fashion and still life photographs. Manuals and handbooks like these showed users what to photograph\, and how to take their photographs\, with instructions on framing\, composition\, lighting\, f-stops and film speeds. Amateur and professional photography was highly scripted\, and photographers sought to create perfect\, magazine-worthy images\, within the parameters of different subject genres. Along with 35 mm cameras and home darkroom equipment\, these books are artifacts of an earlier\, pre-digital period of photography\, where photography had its own genres\, conventions\, and relative autonomy from other artistic mediums. \n  \nProofOfConcept_final2FINALb.tif draws its material from this history\, anchored by three digital photographs that evoke tropes of both still life and commercial product photography. One image depicts a cross-section of an unhusked ear of corn against a red background\, stuck on the end of a spike that has been driven through a scrap of plywood so that it radiates a circle of undulating yellow kernels ringed in green. The corn is less than fresh\, and both the colors and composition are harsh and aggressive. Another image depicts a lightly grilled hot dog\, unadorned and standing improbably on its end\, against a chroma green background. A third image depicts a busy arrangement of round and oblong forms against a blue background\, with fruit\, eggs and pieces of cucumber carefully balanced on hand-thrown ceramic objects and plastic water bottles. While the composition is pleasing\, the fruit is scratched and bruised\, the ceramics are off-centre and misshapen\, and the plastic objects appear as if they have been hastily picked from the recycling bin. The lighting and composition of these images evoke commercial product photography and the still life\, and the objects they include suggest food photography\, but there is something at once funny and rude at play here. They appear to be rejects from the vegetable drawer\, the ceramics studio and the recycling bin. The food is clearly not delicious\, and the images are subtly antagonistic towards the refined genres of photography that they reference. \n  \nAs still lives\, these images further suggest an archeological method\, with the orderly presence of ceramic and plastic objects in the scene with the fruit and pieces of cucumber. They can be read as being arranged taxonomically\, as if they were a scientific record\, or as sculptural figures\, whose bodies are clay\, plastic\, vegetable matter. But their temporal scale is ambiguous: it is not clear whether these images are of the past or the future\, ceramic artifacts from an archeological dig\, plastics from a landfill\, scraps from the compost pile. This juxtaposition of organic and inorganic forms suggest time unfolding at different rates. And if these subjects suggest a destabilizing lack of finality\, so does the printing of the images and the title of the exhibition. The color control patches on the edge evoke test prints\, and the title\, with both “final2” and “finalb.tif\,” evokes the artifice of digital image and its infinite potential revisions. If one looks closely at the still-life with the vases and fruit\, there are also multiple shadows\, so it appears that this image was not made with a single exposure. Within it\, time multiplies\, exposing the myth that photography always and truthfully captures a singular\, linear instant\, instead becoming fragmented\, uncertain and contingent. \n  \nWhile the three photographs reference both commercial photography and digital image-making\, they are embedded within an installation practice that activates an expanded visual field. The exhibition incorporates shelving made from wood leftover when the artist converted his garage into a studio. In turn\, these shelves contain materials used to pack the prints and ceramic objects\, installed between the gallery support columns at the front of the gallery. The installation also incorporates a shelf at the back of the gallery\, displaying some of the ceramic objects that appear in the photographs\, as well as picture frames and sections of the wall painted in colors sampled from the images. The photographs thus expand from 2D representations into 3D space\, from digital representations to real objects\, from the print on the wall to the space of the installation\, and back again. By incorporating strategies from sculpture and installation art\, and referencing interior design\, the exhibition challenges the viewer’s perception of space and the image to consider their own corporeality and movement\, creating an expanded visual field where the viewer can inhabit the image in real space\, and once again imagine this space within the image. The separation between the image and the scene it depicts\, between photography and installation\, and between the studio and the gallery breaks down\, expanding and contracting into one another. \n  \nWith few rare exceptions\, photography is no longer its own discipline separate from other mediums of contemporary art. Nor is it the specialized domain of professionals or well-to-do amateurs who can afford high-quality 35mm cameras. It is in complex dialogue with sculpture\, installation\, and other commercial and popular visual practices. And anyone can take pictures with their iPhone that are as good as those taken by professionals and share carefully curated results on social media platforms. If the images shared on Instagram and Facebook are any indication\, the conventions of commercial product and food photography have been thoroughly assimilated into our everyday lives. As the spaces we inhabit and the objects we surround ourselves with begin to mirror the images we see online\, real space and visual images shape one another at an increasingly rapid rate. The objects in this exhibition play with these scripts\, but in a slightly different key. They are absurd and unnerving\, untidy\, sprawling out into the gallery space. By mining the vocabulary of still-life and commercial product photography\, and by engaging photography as installation\, they challenge the temporal certainty of the photograph\, and make archaeology out of photography itself. \n \nImage courtesy of the artist \nAmish Morrell is Assistant Professor at OCAD University\, where he teaches in the Cross-Disciplinary Arts\, Print and Publications\, and Criticism and Curatorial Practice Programs.

SUMMARY:Open House: Andrzej Tarasiuk
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Andrzej Tarasiuk on Saturday\, November 6th\, 2021 from 12 – 4 PM to share thoughts and open dialogues through his current exhibition Broken Trees (September 18 to November 27\,2021).\nSee you here! \nAndrzej Tarasiuk is a Polish-Canadian artist living in Toronto. After earning a diploma in Drawing and Painting from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2005\, he pursued a variety of projects from street vending to impromptu sculpture-installation. By exploring ways of connecting with people outside traditional art institutions led him to focus on the idea of change. He returned to OCAD University to sharpen his ideas by finishing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2014. During this period he developed an interest in creating work about the human relationship with the environment. He attended two self-directed residencies: Un poco del Chocó – Nature Reserve and Biological Field Station in Ecuador\, and Esperanza Verde wildlife and forest conservation project in Peru’s Amazon basin.  The residencies had a positive impact on the evolution of his ideas and work. In 2018\, he explored “connection(s) between science\, art and the natural environment” at LABVERDE\, a Brazilian residency in the Amazon rainforest; developing and presenting his work at the Proyecto’acePIRAR residency in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. In 2020\, he completed and exhibited new work at the Owl Ridge Acres residency in Bancroft\, Canada and Corazon residency in La Plata\, Argentina. In 2020 with the support of the Ontario Arts Council he installed and documented “Biotic / Mechanic Pump V.2” an immersive video installation at Ed Video Media Arts Centre.  In 2022 at RaumArs in Suomi (Finland)\, he will collaborate with the community developing art about possible futures of the human relationship with nature. \nHis interest is in the role perception plays in constructing reality and how that reflects on our relationship and understanding of the environment. Looking at our surroundings through the lens of process\, his work attempts to connect the visible features of an area with the natural and human processes which give it shape. He strives to convey the dynamic nature of place\, not as a collection of individual elements but a complex interrelated network of relationships of which we are a part of.
