« 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.

"GREENHOUSE"
An Exhibition of new work by Denis Farley.

In the most recent series Displacements and Grenhouse, Denis Farley uses diptychs
of stereo images to consider the relationship between greenhouse structures, atriums
and other contemporsry public spaces, in a commentary on artificiality and
control in the context of "supermodernity" as expressed by Anthony Vidler.

"MALL/FLIP"
An Exhibition of installation photo on MDF by Allyson Clay.

Allyson Clay's exhibition, MALL/FLIP, is a meditation on consumerism, market volatility

The installation, 10 x 12 feet in size, is comprised of 17 aluminum ellipses of different sizes,
some painted with car paint, others mounted with C-prints of California's South Coast Plaza,
"exploding"off of a centre ellipse, suggesting coins tossed into the air.

"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..
