"Wisdom from A-Z" is an exhibition of new work by Rob Croxford. This exhibition is an exercise in whimsy. Each of brightly coloured – vintage themed canvases represents a letter of the alphabet. For example, the “B” canvas depicts a Bowling Ball and a quote from George Ball. The “C” canvas depicts a Croc Shoe and a quote from CoCo Chanel! & Second Room: "Urban Nocturnes" An Exhibition of oil paintings by emerging Toronto artist Stephen Noble. "Urban Nocturnes" is an exhibition of new oil paintings by Toronto artist Stephen Noble. They focus on urban nightscapes -- a new subject for Noble, whose past work mainly featured rural landscapes. Unlike the calm and solitude of this earlier work, we now feel the spirit and bustle of the city. Noble captures this by painting “plein air” studies, which become the source for the finished piece.

APRIL 17, FRIDAY/VENDREDI 17 AVRIL An Exhibition of new mixed media work by Silvana Bruni. Passing Landscapes is a show featuring Silvana Bruni’s new mixed media work on both acrylic glass and used drumheads. These visual autobiographical narratives are informed and inspired by the artist’s own life, including the philosophy and practice of Zen Buddhism and yoga. Bruni’s established oeuvre on glass and drumheads—her trademark canvases—serves as the foundation for daily observations, dilemmas, insights and revelations in her pursuit of capturing the “fleeting moment”. Her latest show develops this theme of time and impermanence by focusing on the practice of releasing the “fleeting moment” in order to ultimately seize it. Till April 26, 2009 Au 26 Avril 2009.

Puis un jour, suite a une serie de phgotographies en Noir et Blanc faites a son insu, je me suis apercu que toutes mes photos etaient bien cadrees! En particulier la reprise d'une pochette de disque de Bob Marley dont je suis un inconditionnel. Alors je me suis dit: Je peux vraiment voir le monde comme j'en ai envie! * * * "Love has come in." An Exhibition of photography by Ifèdé Adébo. My passion for photography took hold of me by a little by chance. As a kid I loved to look through the lens of my dad's camera. Then one day, after taking some black and white shots without his knowledge, I noticed that all my pictures were well framed! Especially the cover of a Bob Marley record, of whom I'm a die-hard fan.

APRIL 30, THURSDAY/JEUDI 30 AVRIL An Exhibition of work by Chad gerth. Installed at Art Chicago, Chad Gerth's photo series Empty Lots represents Chicago's urban cityscape though imagery of vacant lots from above. The resulting planes of shape and colour portray the city not through its distinctive skyline, but through the flatness of its natural terrain. The modernist construction of the urban area is exemplified by the rigidly defined boundaries of both the city's grid and the tightly cropped and carefully composed photographs. Till May 4 2009, Au 4 Mai 2009. *MADE OPENING RECEPTION 7 - 9 PM/VERNISSAGE 19h00 a 21h00 West of Bathurst, between Euclid & Manning www.madedesign.ca Gallery Director: Madame Julie Nicholson. Gallery Director: Monsieur Shaun Moore. E-mail: [email protected] , Tel: 416 607 6384. 867 Dundas St., W., Toronto "The Unusual Space" An Exhibition of an installation by Matthew Nye. Installation artist and interior architect, Matthew Nye applies contemporary architectural form to the design of an eighties office interior. With a tongue in cheek nod to that dated but ubiquitous setting; an anomalous protrusion renders the space unusable, suggesting an instantaneous occurrence or a mistake. The combinations of architectural language create both a visual awe and a discomfort which address the highly subjective manner in which we appreciate the built environment.
