"the beauty, simplicity and sensuality of the human form"
An Exhibition of an intimate series of new figurative works by Keijo Tapanainen.

Finnish born, Toronto artist Keijo Tapanainen continues his examination of thehuman figure in this intimate series of figurative works. These elegant figures are drawn from life using handcut carbon paper mounted on a kraft substrate. Tapanainen attempts to capture the persona conveyed through gestures, yet grounds the work in the physical reality of a keenly observed subject, intensified by his intuitive response to the form.

"ENSO"
- Contemporary Japanese Calligraphy Exhibition -
An Exhibition of work by Noriko Maeda.

Enso is a symbolic shape in Japanese Calligraphy. It is simply a circle, however, every circle reflects the uniqueness of the creator. In Zen Buddhism, it is said that Enso exposes the absolute truth and symbolizes enlightenment and the universe. The painting of an Enso is an expression of the moment and reveals the spirit of the artist. The strength of the line, its splashes, rugged bumps and seamless flow are all filled with subtle, yet complex, nuances. As no two creators are alike, the same lines resonate differently to its viewers.

"works anchored in the inescapable passage of time"

An Exhibition of painting by Sylvain Tremblay.

: The paintings, boldly glowing with Sylvain Tremblay’s signature veneer, have streamlined compositions playing against the abstract checkerboard of colour planes. They serve as backdrops for the textural figures in his work. The paintings are striking, the emerging human form roughly sketched, elongated figures inspired by the works of Alberto Giacometti’s crudely moulded stick men. As one approaches the painting, the many layers of varnish, undulating, almost moving, begin to release their hidden images creating an abstract landscape for the human forms within the piece.

Till February 8, Au 8 Fervier 2009.

« Memoria »

Exposition photographique de Sabrina Maltese.

« Memoria sont comme les archives des souvenirs tangibles d’un lieu qui s’effacera sans doute de ma mémoire. Ces images témoignent à leur égard d’une volonté de silence comme si l’on devait parcourir la maison sur la pointe des pieds. Mise en lumière de leur fragilité, les objets sont photographiés de manière à rendre l’impression d’un regard éphémère. Ces photographies tentent de saisir tant le flux des moments passés et présents que ces moments de contemplation qui trouvent tout leur sens avec le passage du temps.. Quand les gens s’éteignent, tout ce qui subsiste d’eux sont leurs biens, ces choses qu’on laisse derrière soi. Leur être physique peut avoir disparu, mais leur souvenir perdure dans les reliques de leur vie. Avec ce projet, j’ai recueilli les images d’une époque. Avec ce projet, j’ai recueilli des souvenirs de la maison de mes grands-parents, pour faire face à la marche inexorable du temps. » Sabrina Maltese est diplômée de Ryerson University, Bachelor of Fine Arts., juin 2008. Elle vit et travaille à Toronto..

« Memoria »

An Exhibition of photographs by Sabrina Maltese.

“Memoria serves as an archive of tangible remembrances of a place that will eventually fade in my memory. These images have an intentional silence to them, as if one must tip toe through the house. Emphasizing their fragility, the subjects are photographed in a way to demonstrate the feeling of a passing glance. These photographs attempt to capture both fleeting moments come and gone, and contemplative moments that become significant in the passing of time. When people pass away, all that remains are their possessions, the things they leave behind. The physical being may be gone but their memories linger in the remnants of their lives. With this project, I have collected images of an era. With this project I have collected memories of my grandparents’ home, against the inevitable march of time.” Sabrina Maltese received her B.F.A. from Ryerson University in June 2008. She currently lives and works in Toronto.

"Honest Threads"
An Exhibition of an interactive installation by Iris Häussler.

In a crossover between art, literature, and theatre, acclaimed Toronto artist Iris Häussler creates immersive environments that explore personal histories, either real or fictional. Both imitating and challenging museum practices, Häussler integrates found and fabricated archives and artifacts in her installations, raising questions about the demarcation between art and everyday life. With this new project, Häussler engages the GTA public in sharing real life stories..

* ABOUT THE ARTIST *
Mademoiselle Iris Häussler was born in Friedrichshafen, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 2001. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and has exhibited widely throughout Europe. She is best known for her off-site installations in which she constructs fictitious personae through the material environment they live in. Locations have included rented apartments (Ou topos, 1989; Ou topos, 1990; Mneme, 1996; Monopati, 2000), hotel rooms (Propolis, 1993) and most recently an entire residential house in downtown Toronto for The Legacy of Joseph Wagenbach (2006), an installation curated by Rhonda Corvese. Häussler's interest lies in the range of reactions of her protagonists to their life circumstances; Mark Kingwell has coined the term "haptic conceptual" for these narrative encounters. A complementary part of Häussler's work focuses on the visitor, with interactive installations that explore human existence and biography, including collections of human milk (Paidi, 1994) or institutional laundry (On Loan, 1995), interventions into hotel rooms (Piggyback, 1995), redefining the gallery as an overnight sleeping space (Xenotope, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000) or exchanging clothing (Transition coat, 1999). Häussler currently lives in Toronto..

Curated by Monsieur Moses Znaimer.

If youth is wasted on the young, can maturity be savoured by the seasoned? Can youthful exuberance develop into more experienced exaltation? An aging global population is now realizing that their "years of decline" can morph into a coming of age..

In the 1960's, Monsieur Spock said,"Live long and prosper."

In this century, Monsieur Moses Znaimer points us to the possibilities which this blessing entails. With an aging demographic, the mature years can be transformed from "bust" to "boom" - or, more aptly, "Zoom."

Artists have always pondered the human condition. Today's artists, like their cave-dwelling forebears, create art which is relevant to their particular circumstances. An extended, active and healthy life is now within our reach. Ignoring this would be akin to glossing over the invention of the wheel.

"Moon Tears"
- Mapuche Art and Cosmology -
An Exhibition of a selection of works from Domeyko Cassel Collection, Santiago, Chile.

Guest Curator: Dr. Thomas D. Dillehay.

The Mapuche are the largest indigenous group in southern South America, they successfully resisted European intrusion longer than any indigenous society in American history until they were defeated by the Chilean army in the mid-1890s. Moon Tears: Mapuche Art and Cosmology presents objects from the Domeyko Cassel Collection, Santiago, Chile, that intend to elucidate Mapuche culture and history. The symbolic and artistic qualities of the objects presented in the exhibition reflect the high quality of cultural materialism and symbolism, social history, religious fervor, and political power of the Mapuche from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. Various object forms and design motifs on them reveal Andean, Incan, and Spanish cultural influences from the north. Through these objects we can partially recover the Mapuche's view of their past as preserved in the artistically and materially symbolic representation of resistance, public ceremony, gender, shamanism, and their understandings of the social and historical landscapes that surround them. Many objects in the collection also reflect directly on the core of Mapuche cosmology and religion, focusing on practices that link the living with their ancestors and major deities. By reflecting on the objects that represent these and other themes and presenting them in a visual narrative, we can begin to understand the thoughts an d cosmologies that have governed and continue to govern how the Mapuche have lived and survived. Americas Society gratefully acknowledges Empresas CMPC and El Mercurio for their generous support of this.
