FILM | TAIS February Incubator with Madi Piller
The Toronto Animated Image Society monthly Incubator session is for animation lovers to share, invent and network with their own kind and this month. Madi Piller will host a two-hour, camera-less filmmaking session. By scratching, painting and drawing directly on film stock and celluloid, Piller will demonstrate how to animate without the expensive equipment. Bring the animation you're working on to create collaboratively with like-minded artists!

ART | Blobettes, plus
Blobs from the boob tube are Ron Loranger's specialty. The artist opens his latest exhibit Blobettes, plus, a showcase of televisual images captured through various mediums. Blobs from the Internet, social media sites and even the artist's iPhone will be on display and matched with the narrative and sounds of Marc LeMyre, who will perform for two hours at the opening reception this evening at York University's Glendon campus gallery. Loranger will give a talk at 6PM, all about blob.
