Impalpable

Julia Redding

Julia Reddings Impalpable explores ideas of documentation and tangibility and their relevance in modern digitized contemporary culture.

In attempting to change an impalpable medium into a tangible form, Redding presents the viewer with abstracted images, which appear as a portal into an illusory environment. After documenting a projected light painting, Redding appropriates the photographs and reconstructs the imagery to create an illusion of physical mass. The work therefore creates a demand for the physical experience of an artwork by making it difficult to faithfully document.

Relief Support

Curated by Amber Landgraff

Alize Zorlutuna, Anni Araujo Spadafora, Hannah Enkel

The exhibition Relief Support considers collective support of workers as a means of resistance. More and more our working environments rely on exploiting the vulnerability of workers, including self-exploitation, emotional and unpaid labour as a matter of course. With works by Alize Zorlutuna, Anni Araujo Spadafora, and Hannah Enkel, Relief Support asks us to find moments of relief from the struggle of working to live and living to work. How might the value of labour change if we work together to carry the load?

Where my ass has been

Dylin North

Where my ass has been is an ongoing collection of small paintings that act as evidence and reminder of the unlikely solace and sanctuary found aboard buses and trains; dimly lit containers of uncomfortable rest and lack of option. They are interpretations of textile patterns found on bus seats that act as records of physical movement, justifications of stillness, and meditative exercises.

A Proposal for Ontario Place
