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.

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.

This exhibition contains works by various makers, all photographed in 1955, displaying many different approaches to photography.

Stan Douglas: Entertainment
Entertainment: Selections from Midcentury Studio is an exhibition of new photographic work by Vancouver artist Stan Douglas. The work in the exhibition continues the artist's practice of reexamining historical, site-specific layers, particularly the imaging of postwar North American diversions from cabaret to sports. A social system - and an economic system - of entertainment is revealed here in the artist's inhabitation of a historical fiction.

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.
Artists: Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz, Aleesa Cohene, Glen Fogel, Onya Hogan-Finlay, Christian Holstad, Danny Jauregui, Adam Garnet Jones, Jean-Paul Kelly, Tim Leyendekker, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, James Richards, Emily Roysdon, Dean Sameshima, Jonathan VanDyke, Susanne M. Winterling
