Art Class 010: Photography and installation by Marc Audette
Opening reception: Friday January 13, 6-9pm | Artist talk: Saturday January 21, 2pm
Marc Audette’s photographic series, Art Class 010, emerges from a long-term engagement with both teaching and questioning forms of cultural indoctrination. Known for uncanny, almost cinematic photographs and installations, Audette is deeply invested in challenging what he calls “the dogma of the image.” For Art Class 010, he mines the great pedagogical themes of painting and drawing, filling his images with references to still life, life drawing, perspective, foreshortening, chiaroscuro, and drapery studies.

Christine Negus: you can't spell slaughter without laughter
Thursday, January 19, 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Gallery TPW is pleased to present a solo exhibition by emerging artist Christine Negus. Negus' works range from ephemeral objects, including glittery party banners, neon signs and artificially flowered memorial wreaths, to video works steeped in sweet sadness. At the centre of you can't spell slaughter without laughter is a constellation of short but intense, single channel videos and digital-animations investigating nostalgia and loss through humour and difficult irony.

Alexander Irving: FLATMEN
Irving’s paintings explore the fullness of the flat—the ways in which flatness can be ripe and round, rough and uneven. While sketching cardboard—from packaging, men’s shirts and boxes, he began crafting on the canvas “folding patterns” and figures appeared.
Canadian artist Alexander Irving holds an MFA from York University and a BFA from the NSCAD. Irving has exhibited at Birch Libralato, Blackwood Gallery and Diaz Contemporary. In 2009 Irving’s work was included in Carte Blanche 2: Painting – a survey of new Canadian painting. At present Irving holds the post of Lecturer at U of T.

Jacqueline Riemer: Six Low-Cast Maidens in Search of a Porch
In this installation of sculptural forms by Nova Scotian artist, Jacqueline Riemer, the Caryatids – those marble women whose heads hold up the roof – wander away from the “Porch of the Maidens” on the Erechtheion of the Acropolis at Athens. Dealing with issues of embodiment and ego, and informed by a Buddhist perspective, Riemer has imagined the Caryatids freed from their architectural function and wandering in search of a new context. She represents the female body in three degrees of abstraction, ranging from Sono tubes to dress-forms to wax body-casts. The displacement of these Maidens questions the place of the female body in sculpture and architecture, while addressing issues of embodiment and ego.
