Through the immersive work of these artists, viewers are encouraged to engage in an act of prolonged looking and moved towards a space of affect. It is in this space and the coalescing of history and future, that the present moment emerges.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Do you Dream of Sunshine When You Sleep? - FIELD Contemporary Do You Dream of Sunshine When You Sleep? focuses on the relationship between light, atmosphere, and healing. Using both art and design, Campbell + Killough have constructed an experiential environment that explores the healing properties of light and form through photography and sculpture. The placement of objects and their orientation visually guides the viewer into a fully curated experience, and, through the juxtaposition of furniture and sculpture with photographic prints, the viewer will be able to experience two-dimensional impressions of light with three-dimensional experiences of light. Do You Dream of Sunshine When You Sleep? calls for the viewer to sit, reflect, heal, and frame the world around them. Presented with Capture Photography Festival.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Olympic Village Canada Line Station - Vancouver The photographs on view are by ECUAD photography graduates Jeff Downer, Bahar Habibi, Caroline Halley, Shannon McCubbin, and David Peters. Whether analog or digital photography, or a synthesis of the two, the works address the idea of space in relation to environment, both from a physical standpoint and a state of mind. The representation of space is well suited to the photographic medium, whereby the still image, when perceived by the viewer, becomes a place for contemplation. These works engage different notions surrounding everyday environments that we otherwise might only give a fleeting glance as we move through them.</image:caption>

It has been a source of grounding, while simultaneously ever changing. It has helped to familiarize oneself with family histories and knowledge, and form identities through community. This place is ephemeral, captured as a static space through the lens of a camera but ever fleeting to the naked eye.    this is a place is a group exhibition featuring lens-based images by Stephen Attong, Tom Hsu, Brendan Georgo Ko, Eleni Nikoletsos, and Gloria Wong. Through these photographers' thoughtful yet varied examination of a place, the exhibition aims to offer a space that evokes reflection on what the idea of place means, and challenge notions of how the viewers are implicated in the place(s) they inhabit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Asking For It - FIELD Contemporary Patryk Stasieczek’s solo exhibition Asking for It is the result of an ongoing photographic investigation into an embodied material practice toward the occurrence of an event. Within photography’s background, an event is considered an artifactual witness of an operation, as it provides access through the delineation of a trace on some form of light-sensitized material. The photograph itself becomes an extension of the body, being extended through calculated optics and limitations, as presented by the medium of photography. By looking at the photographic event in this way and accepting the limitations of the photographic practice, only a composite view is the phenomenon by which a record of things can be further examined. Through this, the measurement of the body in images illustrates the evocative shift of photography today. As the movement toward the immaterial digitalism of photographic process progresses, photographs are further situated as an anticipated function of events through their mediated reliability, which in their technological accessibility have further propelled the photographic act towards that of instant image-expression and consumption. Stasieczek takes the idea of an immaterial photographic production back into the darkroom and produces compositional light paintings (photogram collages) within the disembodied space of complete darkness. He composes images using a variety of lighting materials and digital technologies, coupled with sensitized photographic surfaces, allowing for his body to calibrate the exposure and gesture. The resulting photographic traces hold an intentionality that is a direct response to the spatial parameters of their composition and are further informed by the legacy of production knowledge located in the body. This method of production is distilled in the installation and configuration of the photographs as image-objects and light-objects, within a physical environment. This exhibition consists of photographic light paintings, digital C-prints that capture the interference of digital image technologies, and a deconstructed lightbox work. Presented with Capture Photography Festival.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A Feeling of A Feeling - The Plumb, Toronto https://www.avalonmott.com/afeeling a feeling is effervescent. An embodied reaction born in our brains and spread to the tips of our limbs. It is joy and sorrow and love and despair.  of a feeling that is intangible. Unable to be articulated by words but pass along by generations of gestures. It is inherited and lives alongside us; sometimes as intimately as a strand of hair and sometimes as distant as a forgotten photo album on a shelf.  Through the site-specific installation works of mihyun maria kim, Jackson Klie, and Gillian Toliver, a feeling of a feeling seeks to examine how we coalesce with untranslatable affects that are bestowed upon us by way of identity. Themes of translucency, translation and fragmentation are brought forward by the artists as they employ gestural responses to the inefficacy of language as a way of communicating with themselves. In this, the exhibition space extends to a place of conversation to delve into a feeling of a feeling.</image:caption>

It is elusive, relying entirely on soft architecture to gesture towards elements of life that feel familiar. A movement or form or sound or visual. The Grotto begs to engage tension, the feeling of the uncanny that reveals itself when the intersection of waking life and a dreamed world is held in paralysis. This exhibition engages the works of four artists; Abby Kettner, Danan Lake, Ghisland Sutherland-Timm and Ramolen Laruan to provide a latticed network of anchor points that usher the viewer in their experience of the Grotto on display.

      <image:caption>PROCESS - 205 Richmond, Toronto Process features new works by Beverley Freedman, Erin Stripe, mihyun maria kim, Reshmi Bisessar, Sara Shoghi, and Vicky Talwar, that were created as part of an ArtScape residency collaboration with OCAD U in Summer 2022. The artist’s works are representative of current themes and investigations occurring in their individual practices, but all respond to the idea of process. This notion of process speaks to the work of the artist in creating an artwork; conception, experimentation, revision, articulation, finalization. This work is generally confined to the studio and not welcomed into the gallery. PROCESS aims to explore the potential for engagement that occurs when these elements are allowed to exist in an exhibited work and be presented in a gallery space. The works on view ask for viewer activation, and encourage play, rather than rely on passive viewing in their display.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. - Xpace Cultural Centre, Toronto www.avalonmott.com/aseries Featuring works by Ella Gonzalez, Meichen Waxer, and Meg Ross; a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end, curated by Avalon Mott, aims to encourage a positioning of exhibitionary affect. This curatorial methodology places the viewer at the center of the exhibition, and fosters the space of potential for contemplation and curiosity between the artwork on display and the viewer.  Through a heightened relationship to site specificity, the works exhibited encourage the viewer to approach them intuitively. This fosters an emotional relationship to the pieces that is highly individual, while providing a bridge of understanding to the larger concepts explored by each artist. Themes of nostalgia, reflection and desire are omni-present throughout the works.</image:caption>

      <image:title>a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end - Meg Ross</image:title>
      <image:caption>light capture on blank pages transparency exposed  scanned, printed, and mounted –made permanent  on wooden book blocks.  Teetering between object, image and archive, BLUE READ presents a photo book series that delves into the intricacies of light. The work is a result of an ongoing exploration of conceptual photo books, where the act of reading plays a crucial role in finding meaning in affect, no matter how mortal or fleeting it may be. The project invites readers to engage with the limitations of the photographic medium and encourages a critical examination of how images are captured and the extent to which they can accurately or inaccurately represent light. Through a series of fragmented actions, Ross weaves together photography, installation, and conceptual musings to create deeply affecting and multi-layered environments. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at the Art Gallery of Guelph. She completed an MFA at the University of Guelph (2022) and a BFA at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2015).  Meg Ross lives and works in Guelph Ontario.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In previous installations of Horus the mirror slowly revealed through the melting of the work. …and the sky positioned the candle sculpture in relation to the single and prominent architectural feature of the otherwise white walled gallery space. Highlighting this column by hanging the mirror vinyl as wallpaper would be, between crown rail and chair rail on all four sides invites a sense of western domesticity through familiar treatments of space. Directly across from each side of the mirrored column, the same vinyl is placed, physically and metaphorically dividing up the space into 'rooms'.  In each of these rooms, the other works and viewer are reflected back onto themselves, generating a moving "wallpaper". This destabilizing of the wall space echoes the destabilization of the wax form as it melts. A tertiary element is created by having fragments of Horus wax sculpture, alongside the other artworks, reflected into these 'domestic quadrants'. This calls us to think of the conventions of applied colonial ornamentation, and its reliance on fragmented forms and figures which eroded meaning, place, and time to instead signifty 'tradition', class and relationships to whiteness.  Meichen Waxer is a queer visual artist, curator and arts worker living in Toronto. She holds a MFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, as well as a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design University.  Recent exhibitions include The Plumb, Toronto, Ministry of Casual Living, Victoria, Canada; CSA Space, Vancouver, Canada, Mr. Lee’s Shed, Vancouver Canada; #3 Gallery, Vancouver Canada; halka sanat projesi, Istanbul, Turkey; and Open Studio, Toronto.  Artist residencies have included Treignac Projet, France; Anvil Centre, New Westminster and Halka Sanat, Istanbul, Turkey as well as Turkish Cultural Foundation Fellow. Meichen is a Vice President of the Board of Directors at Art Metropole, Toronto, Canada. Meichen is Co-Director and Co-Founder of Arts Assembly.

      <image:title>a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end - Ella Gonzales</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reflection of a doorway is a large scale painting, featuring the architecture of Gonzales's previous family homes. Installed, it creates its own architecture—a form of soft architecture where the original creases from being mailed are still subtly apparent. Uninstalled, it can be folded down and easily moved. This format is displayed as part of this installation, along with small scale studies.  The jusi and piña silk fabrics were sent from the Philippines by Gonzales's family and are often used to make Filipiniana wear. They are thin and semi-transparent, with a refined weave that allows for a sheer coat of paint. Light travels through while the image remains semi-opaque. Ella Gonzales is a Filipina-Canadian artist working between painting and Computer-Aided Design programs, as led by her interest in space making. Gonzales holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art from the University of Guelph and was the recipient of the 2021 Nancy Petry Award in painting. *Reflection of a doorway is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Featuring works by Ella Gonzales, Meg Ross, and Meichen Waxer; a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end, curated by Avalon Mott, aims to encourage a positioning of exhibitionary affect. This curatorial methodology places the viewer at the center of the exhibition, and fosters the space of potential for contemplation and curiosity between the artwork on display and the viewer.  Through a heightened relationship to site specificity, the works exhibited encourage the viewer to approach them intuitively. This fosters an emotional relationship to the pieces that is highly individual, while providing a bridge of understanding to the larger concepts explored by each artist.

      <image:title>The Grotto - Abby Kettner</image:title>
      <image:caption>The notion of memory is a chimerical dream investigates the fragility and fallibility of memory by representing the mind as a construction site. Recent studies have revealed that forgetting is not a glitch in our memory, but a distinct and purposeful force. Using every-day objects from interior and exterior spaces in the artist’s life, the ever-fading, intangible ghosts of past thoughts, feelings, and experiences are captured in the bioplastic sculptures. They will eventually deteriorate as just the memories do, becoming an unearthly reification of how memory functions in the brain. “We are our memory, / we are this chimerical museum of shifting forms, / this heap of broken mirrors” - Jorge Luis Borges Abby Kettner (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist and arts-administrator based in Toronto. Kettner graduated with a BFA in Cross-Disciplinary Art: Life Studies from OCAD University, and her artistic practice continues to evolve as she explores object-oriented ontologies through her unique visual language. Interested in collaboration and community art projects, Kettner works with the Carrier Bag Collective to develop accessible workshops for artists.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grotto - Ghislan Sutherland-Timm</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ingraining the tactility of image-making twelve analog collages emulsify within organic ingredients and beings through salt, moss, sugar, and earth. Activated through the participant’s touch, your presence isn’t here is a series of ephemeral works highlighting fragmentations of identity and fractured placement. Through diaristic documentation of collaged bodies, touch becomes an intimate contribution to the emulsions performance of decay. In letting go of what we initially see, memory, in time passing, forms a space to become an unreliable narrator. “your presence isn’t here” prompts the creation of an adaptation when the origins of stillness cannot remain. Ghislan Sutherland-Timm (Je-iz-lan/Jess-lin) (they/she) is a multidisciplinary craftsman and amateur media archivist based in Tkaronto/Toronto. Their artistic practice is influenced by their ancestral ties and reconnection to their Afro-Vincentian heritage and Carib roots. Their work is also ignited by the ephemerality and tactility of sound and film. The process of collage-making is frequently utilized within their work to shape autobiographical-fictional narratives and subjects of ambiguous beings in addressing identity and land to unravel the mythologies and romanticization of home and homecoming.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grotto - Danan Lake</image:title>
      <image:caption>Floor Harp is a platform or walkway that amplifies and augments your footsteps. The vibration caused by footsteps causes the strings that run underneath to resonate. This sound is an accompaniment to footsteps. An Excerpt of the Story of the Inexperienced Ghost, uses an Arduino microcontroller to program the turn signal of a motorcycle to read an excerpt of “The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost” by H.G. Wells in Morse code. Danan Lake, originally from rural British Columbia completed his BFA at NSCAD in 2020. He is now in the final year of his MFA at the University of Guelph. Lake’s work is rooted in folk culture, often incorporating DIY and handmade elements. Fiction, folklore and music are themes often dealt with in Lake’s work. His sculptural practice combines these influences resulting in works that are influenced by fictional tropes and function as instruments, inviting performance or performing themselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grotto - Ramolen Laruan</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tabo, a small water dipper, is a quotidian object in Filipino households utilized to hold water from a filled timba (a bigger plastic pail) for bathing, hand washing, and chores. It is valued for its efficiency in water usage. In bomba/groundwater, tabos are piled up as a fountain where water flows to investigate the disproportionate flow of power and resource from the top to bottom. Water scarcity is frequent in many parts of the Philippines, making the region highly vulnerable to the impacts of Western-led climate change. The installation offers a metaphoric rethinking of human and non-human relationships in exploring the (un)monumentality of fountains as starting point in broader issues of power, legacies of colonization, depletion of Earth’s sources, and social relations.   In various culture, flowing water symbolizes purification, change, the passage of time, the cycle of life, rebirth, while the sound and colourful plastic world of tabo might bring to mind the everyday joy and chaos of life out of control. Ramolen Laruan is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and educator based in Tkaronto/Toronto, ON. Her non-medium specific practice explores displacement, migration, and politics of knowledge with questions relating to notions of truths, memory work, and failure tactics through sculpture, collage, print, textile, installation, moving image and sound. She has received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and  Ontario Arts Council. Select exhibitions include an intimate index at Latcham Art Centre (2022), Double-Edged at Xpace Cultural Centre (2022); still, unfolding at Zalucky Contemporary (2020). In 2021, Laruan participated in R.A.R.O, an artists-in-residence program in Barcelona. Laruan was selected to participate in the RBC Emerging Artist Program at The Power Plant in 2022. Laruan holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Queen’s University, and a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Western Ontario.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Feeling - Gillian Toliver</image:title>
      <image:caption>My work is a reaction to the absurdity, multiplicity and fluidity of being. Painting forms in quick succession, I move as if washing the floor, without thought or hesitation. The painted forms are then drawn in pencil, moving as I would brush my hair, stroke by stroke. In this slow translation from paint to graphite I feel an honoring and witnessing to a moment of bodily freedom –a gathering of self. Luxuriating in the grey space between enigmatic fragments of identity, these host forms explore the unspoken conversations that the ‘I’ can not. Gillian Toliver is a multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her OCAD University thesis presentation Paper Skin Makes Me Waver in the Breeze was awarded the Medal for Drawing and Painting and Nora E. Vaughan Award. As an artist of mixed Scottish and Caribbean descent, her work often explores spaces existing in an in-between, a world caught in a moment of creation. Utilizing practices of labour,repetition and ritual, Toliver creates forms to explore the absurdity and fluidity of being. Her work has been exhibited in Canada, Italy, and South Korea.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Feeling - Jackson Klie</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jackson Klie’s work utilizes an expanded approach towards photography through its incorporation of collage, sculpture, and alternative image-based processes. He often works with deconstructed and reclaimed photographic material, playing with taxonomies and the aesthetics of the archive to speculate on queer alternative practices of communication, gathering, and remembering. In positioning the photograph as a queer object, these views are expressions of our anxious relationship to photography and identity – representing a permeable web used to sift through the detritus of our image-soaked culture. The works presented in a feeling of a feeling were created in response to the exhibition’s themes of translation, fragmentation, and the inefficacy of language. Beginning with a found collection of plant taxonomy photographs, Klie created an image-based installation using a series of digital collages. Jackson Klie is an image-based artist living in Hamilton, Ontario. He holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Guelph and a BFA in Photography Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University. Recent exhibitions have been presented at Xpace Cultural Centre, Gallery 44, Birch Contemporary, and the Contact Photography Festival. He was longlisted for the New Generation Photography Award in 2018 and 2023.</image:caption>

      <image:title>A Feeling - mihyun maria kim</image:title>
      <image:caption>mihyun maria kim is an interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto, researching untranslatable affects shaped by languages within unresolved historical grief and transmissions of longing. Exhaustion of the body, repetition of gestures, and telling of hi/stories are observed, interpreted, and depicted in the space between memory and imagination.

      <image:title>A Feeling</image:title>
      <image:caption>Featuring works by Ella Gonzales, Meg Ross, and Meichen Waxer; a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end, curated by Avalon Mott, aims to encourage a positioning of exhibitionary affect. This curatorial methodology places the viewer at the center of the exhibition, and fosters the space of potential for contemplation and curiosity between the artwork on display and the viewer.  Through a heightened relationship to site specificity, the works exhibited encourage the viewer to approach them intuitively. This fosters an emotional relationship to the pieces that is highly individual, while providing a bridge of understanding to the larger concepts explored by each artist. Themes of nostalgia, reflection and desire are omni-present throughout the works.  Xpace Cultural Centre 2-303 Lansdowne Ave, Toronto March 10 - April 22 Wednesday - Saturday, 1pm - 5pm Opening reception Friday, March 10 7pm - 10pm</image:caption>

      <image:title>Presence in a past or an undetermined future. - Shannon Garden-Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shannon Garden-Smith (she/her) is an artist based in Tkaronto/Toronto, Canada, of Scottish and Irish settler heritage. Working across sculpture, installation, and expanded photo practice, Garden-Smith examines the material-social impact of the surfaces that clad our contemporary built world. Through a slow, repetitive process that re-visibilizes how the day-to-day architectures of our lives become naturalized through repeated exposure, her work re-sensitizes us to the labour and material that sustain our everyday. Engendering slippages between surface and structure, her work examines labour, identity, and power in human-built architectures, seeking to intervene into capitalist, productivist modes of telling time and modes of relation. Garden-Smith is a doctoral student in visual art at York University.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Presence in a past or an undetermined future. - Nabil Azab</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nabil Azab (b.1994, Paris, Fr) is a multidisciplinary artist of North African descent. Nabil employs drawing, painting, writing, and researching as a starting point for abstract photographic works that resist the objectivity and disciplinarily of the medium in contemporary life. Often using public, private, and family archives, the softened contours of Nabil’s work become a host for the affective frequencies of their origin. Nabil is currently an MFA candidate at The University Of California - Riverside and is located in Los Angeles, California.</image:caption>
