Toronto Now

To Watch
Since the 1970s, the Toronto art community has seen constant mutation as it has adapted to the energies of the artist-run space sector as well as to geographical shifts in the gallery scene. Measuring from 2000, the scene has been marked by an altogether new openness engendered by the critical and institutional acceptance of new-media practices and the broadened thematics of hybridity and globalism. Every year a new crop of artists stands out, complemented by new voices in the ranks of the dealers, scene-makers and commentators who shape and support the art. This Queen Street West lineup shows some of the city’s most visible newcomers.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Miles Collyer, Dean Baldwin, Margaux Williamson, Michael Klein, Talia Shipman, Ashley Johnson, Annie MacDonell, Andrew Davies, Catherine Dean, Sherri Hay, Georgia Scherman, Pamila Matharu, Tony Romano, Thrush Holmes and Derek Sullivan. Photographed at the Will Alsop–designed WESTside Lofts sales pavilion on Queen Street West, Wednesday, September 26, 2007.

    Roger M. Buergel, the artistic director of documenta 12, plays a nervy game with the press. During the lead-up to the massive contemporary-art exhibition to be held this summer in Kassel, Germany, he kept the names of the artists in the show to himself (and, presumably, the show’s curator, Ruth Noack).

  • Sol LeWitt: Primary Legacy

    In recent years, both the Dia and MASS MoCA have mounted tribute exhibitions to late American artist Sol LeWitt. This week, Mercer Union wraps up its own notable homage, which recreates a 1981 wall drawing LeWitt did for the then-fledgling space.

  • The Khyber Controversy: Three Years' Grace

    For the past number of years, there's been controversy regarding the future of Halifax’s Khyber Arts Society. Seen by many as a key venue locally and nationally, the Khyber was back in the news this month as a city report recommended a new three-year plan for its space.

  • Todd Tremeer: War Games

    Play and strife come together, DIY style, in Todd Tremeer’s Little Wars (Make Me), an interactive project that debuted this month at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. In it, viewers can collaborate on a wall-sized battle mural and “bring the war home” via paper-cutout soldiers.

  • John Kissick/Gwen MacGregor: Two for the Road

    Summer is often marked by contrasts, a dynamic that the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery seems to pick up on in its current pairing of solo shows: John Kissick’s manic, multifaceted paintings and Gwen MacGregor’s calm, geoscience-toned fieldwork.

  • Heat: Marvelous Meltdowns

    MKG127 acknowledges Toronto’s above-average summer temperatures with “Heat,” an exhibition that ironically offers some cool respite while displaying works that evoke bubbling tar, existential crises and blistering guitar solos.
