Gender and Exposure in Contemporary Iranian Photography
Discourses about Middle Eastern art tend to be preoccupied by certain issues: femininity, the veil, gender disparity, religious tradition, and revolutionary conflict. This exhibition shifts focus by considering the following themes: masculinity; female agency; secular activities; Persian traditions; and the unique situation of Iran.
The artists communicate visual messages that are by necessity subtle and ambiguous. They use strategies such as metaphor and allegory, the blurring of boundaries between fiction and documentary, and the adoption of visual styles more typical of fashion, advertising, and graphic design. This exhibition offers audiences an opportunity to abandon old assumptions and gain new insights.

Mark Boulos, No Permanent Address
Images Festival and Gallery TPW are very pleased to co-present work by Mark Boulos. No Permanent Address is a three channel video portrait of the New People's Army, a Maoist guerrilla group in the Philippines.
The work speaks to the persistence of communist ideologies at a time in which Boulos suggests "capitalism has begun to lose its sense of inevitability."
Boulos looks at the members of the insurgent group as quotidian heroes as he records their daily activities and speaks with them about notions of love, sacrifice, revolution and ideology.

Arthur Desmarteaux & Allison Moore: Micropolis 2.0
Micropolis 2.0, an exhibition by Montréal-based collaborators Arthur Desmarteaux and Allison Moore, is an ever-expanding and evolving installation comprised of collaged screen and digital prints, evokes a busy, commercial street with pedestrians, creatures and vehicles passing by. The installation has an anthropological character inspired by the cityscapes of Québec City, Montréal and Toronto. The installation explores urban life and the relationships between people and large cities. The enchanted universe presented conveys a sense of wonder, awe and contemplation; viewers are drawn in, entering a strange dimension that evokes a childhood world filled with twisted dreams and figures.

Coming After
Featuring artists from New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Toronto and beyond, Coming After is a response to the recent renewal of interest in the period from the mid-1980s to early 1990s that was decisive for North American cultural politics. This time period witnessed the Culture Wars, the birth of "queer" as an identity and theory, and the rise of a direct-action AIDS activist movement fighting a new plague that was devastating communities of artists, queers and people of colour.

Steven Laurie, Zeke Moores, Brandon Vickerd / Lauren Hall
GALLERY ONE: Steven Laurie, Zeke Moores and Brandon Vickered are an artist-pit crew using the gallery as an ersatz garage. Their sculptures reflect on aspects of North American motor-culture from NASCAR racing to Survival Research Laboratories. "Clutch" contrasts the enduring appeal of the automobile with the paradox of a consumer culture running on empty.
GALLERY TWO: Using polystyrene, cellophane, coloured sand and scented glycerin, Lauren Hall transforms the gallery into a cave-like environment. Quoting the poetry of Percy Shelley, "With Crystal Column and Clear Shrines of Pearl" illustrates the way we now experience the sublime as a tourist destination.

Dil Hildebrand is one brave painter. In his new show “Back to the Drawing Board (Reprise),” he stares down the old adage that no one wants to look at a green painting, let alone buy one. There's not just one green painting here—there's a room of them.
