IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU Beaver Hall Gallery March 12 - 21 Opening Reception: March 12 6-9pm Performances (Tamar Bresge):... March 13 7:00 pm March 14 2:00 pm March 15 2:00 pm March 17 4:00 pm https://www.facebook.com/events/2186868758083158/ Featuring Tamar Bresge, Andrew Ma, Tatjana Reithofer and Sarah May Taylor, It’s Always Good To Hear From You investigates the intricacies of relationships through the body, the self, the spiritual, and the sublime. Through the framework of memory, identity, and image-making, you are invited to consider, to confront, and to call to the multitudes of identities catalogued by this person you call ‘you’. Tamar Bresge’s practice combines text, literature, and language, braiding creative writing and studio practice. To construct close-up pictures of far away places, to tread in the intensity of the intimate at a half-light distance, and to texture a tactile, cadenced exploration of un-fixing herself in time. I do not want to explain, but to describe, and to know the place for the first time. tamarbresge.format.com @tamar_parpar Tatjana Reithofer is focused on constructing a visual and material culture for indefinable experience. Inspired by her being raised in Mexico, and returning to Canada as a young woman, she grapples with the locating the home of the spirit, faith, refuge, and a particular kind of exile. The presented work carves a sense of the sacred in space, while struggling with literal and figurative feelings of permanence. tatjana-isabella-reithofer.format.com @anandmayakoso Sarah May Taylor’s practice explores representations of the female form and the role of memory with respect to notions of identity and belonging. Her sculpture, installation and photography asks questions about human connection and its evolving relationship to fracture. She uses her work as an archive from which to tell stories while investigating life-death cycles, inherited trauma, and the body in relation to the political notion of taking up space. http://www.sarahmaytaylor.com @sarahmaytaylor #toronto #art #scupture

T6 presents its third annual exhibition of emerging artists with LIMINAL: Interstices Between and Betwixt. February 8 - 13, 11am - 7pm Opening Reception: Saturday, February 8, 7 - 9pm Toronto SixHundred https://the600.ca/... Beaver Hall Gallery One may also inhabit the limen, the place in between realities, a gap ‘between and betwixt’ universes of sense that construe social life and persons differently, an interstice from where one can most clearly stand critically toward different structures. - María Lugones This exhibition will take place at Beaver Hall Gallery, 8 13th February of 2020. Artists were asked to explore the concept of liminality through any visual media. The liminal is the space between a door, a threshold, a moment, a feeling, not here and not there, but somewhere vaguely undefined in the middle. It may be a space that is transitional, intermediate, between borders, or barely perceptible. T6 is delighted to announce our list of participating artists: Shane Ackerley, Reem Al-Wakeal, Stephanie Avery, Sage Barker, Charly Baxter, Evangeline Brooks, Olivia Brouwer, Nicko Cecchini, Ronnie Clarke, Dana Feldman, Caspar de Gelmini, Lea Hamilton, Adela Hua, Esther Kim, Francisco Lethrbidge, Stephanie Pineau, Grace Qian, Ayat Mohammed Salih, Jeremy Saya, Hannah Schallert, Rojin Shafiei, SOFTSERVE, Shannon Taylor-Jones, Anahi Gonzalez Teran, Sebastián Rodríguez y Vasti, Emma White, Lee Wilkins & Lana Yuan. #art #event #toronto

REMAINS TO BE SEEN ON NOW - NOV. 17TH, 2019 Hours: Wednesday - Sunday 12-6pm, Thursday 12-7pm Beaver Hall Gallery https://melaniechikofsky.com/wp/... http://tiny.cc/ys8hfz CBC ARTS VIDEO STATEMENT: REMAINS TO BE SEEN These #sculptures were initially based on historical bandaging techniques, inspired by experiences of injury and repair. However, the distortions that occurred in the drying process to the pulp were unexpected and exciting, taking me on a different tangent. This new direction, albeit still thematically concerned with the #body’s #fragility, had me exploring it in compositions illustrative of themes of #suffering, and #decay. Containing the #figures under glass lends a feeling of claustrophobia and the look of a scientific inquiry. All of the sculptures are unique and were cast from a variety of pulp papers, (flax, linen, hemp, and abaca), on top of acupuncture dolls, and into molds I created. Some were constrained by sand while others were left to shrivel and dry into a number of contorted poses. They were then assembled into intriguing compositions, mounted on custom Winterstone bases, and placed under glass cloches. The sculptures were divided into 4 categories based on the definitions below: #RELIC: a survivor or remnant left after decay, disintegration, or disappearance. #RUIN: is the fallen or destroyed remains of something. #VESTIGE: a mark, trace, or visible evidence of something that is no longer present or in existence: #EMBODIMENT: someone or something that represents a quality or an idea exactly I would like to thank Emily from the Paperhouse Studio for her help in the preparation of the pulp papers, and Bernard Hashmall for the construction of the plinths. #toronto #art

TRANSFORMATION: FLUID IDENTITIES IN WITCHCRAFT Beaver Hall Gallery Opening reception: Wednesday, October 9th, 6 - 9pm with guest speaker Rosemary Stehlik who will be speaking about Transformational Magic. https://www.facebook.com/witchfestnorth/... Gallery Hours: October 9th, Noon - 9pm October 10 - 14, Noon - 7pm October 15, Noon- 4pm Transformation: Fluid identities in #Witchcraft #Transformation: change in form, appearance, nature, or character. The idea of transformation is informed by our own personal experiences and presents a broad range of interpretive possibilities. We may become transformed communally through the act of being visible, or by naming our craft and ourselves or interpret transformation as the act of shape-shifting within ritual in a current socio-political, geographic or economic time and space. How we locate ourselves within these evolving realms of internal and external forces can challenge our notions of witchcraft and identity. Allowing identity to become or remain fluid encourages us as individuals, a witchcraft community and the mainstream to recognize emergent and transformative ideas of witches, and witchcraft. ABOUT US: This exhibition is part of WITCHfest North, an annual month-long festival in Toronto. WITCHfest North is a not-for-profit organization and volunteer-run festival that is overseen by festival founder and program director, Monica Bodirsky. #art #toronto #festival

All Kinds of People, All Kinds of Ways exhibition opening Work by Klasha Fernandes 6:00-8:00pm, Beaver Hall (29 McCaul Street)

ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, ALL KINDS OF WAYS Video Installation by Klasha Fernandes Part of the DocNow Festival At Beaver Hall Gallery JUNE 8 22, 2019... Tuesday to Sunday Noon - 6pm Opening Reception: June 12, 2019, 6-9PM This video installation critiques the ways in which gender binaries are informed through capitalism, colonialism, and language. Participants Cleo Keahna and Evelyn Pakinewatik oppose normalized understandings of gender and sexuality in the West through their Anishinaabe teachings, which describe gender as something deeply rooted in spirituality. As a result, the fluidity of gender, and more generally, the multi-faceted experience of humans are made clear through conversations about Indigenous two-spirit identity. #TwoSpirit #art #toronto #events
