exhibition: general idea

The 1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion reopens at

the Art Gallery of York University tomorrow night!

6 – 9 PM

Thirty-two years after a disastrous fire destroyed The 1984 Miss General Idea Pavillion in 1977, the Art Gallery of York University has set itself the heroic task of reconstructing the Pavillion along the lines of its original plans. The AGYU has combined resources with archaeologists, archivists, and the museums and collections that house its remnants to bring together material for public view as the first stage of restoring the Pavillion to the shell of its past glory.

(the exhibition runs until December 6th, but the opening happens only once)

Out There

The Art Gallery of York University is a university-affiliated public non-profit contemporary art gallery supported by York University, The Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council and our membership.

Peter Kingstone, Party, 2009, Digital Print, 14" x 19"

PETER KINGSTONE
Them!

September 17 – November 7, 2009
Opening reception Thursday, September 17, 5-8 pm

Pari Nadimi Gallery is pleased to announce a major solo exhibition by Toronto-based installation artist Peter Kingstone.

For his first solo exhibition at Pari Nadimi Gallery, Peter Kingstone will present a new installation work entitled Them!. Kingstone's Them! works with the idea that the horror film Them (1954) is a documentary. Them! (1954) is a horror film about the meeting of giant ants and humans in the New Mexican desert. Kingstone’s installation does not talk about an inter-species war, but instead investigates ideas of community. The exhibition is comprised of three different pieces working together in the gallery. Suburb is a living sculpture, a 3 foot by 3 foot ant farm, where the ants live amongst a miniature suburban landscape, the twelve 19” x 14” photographs supposes that giant ants have been able to live within human communities and Them!: Dr Medford’s Story is a 20 minute video that discusses the ant world and the human community. The exhibition proposes a radical rethinking of the way life is lived. The concept of community is questioned with a new proposal in its place.

Kingstone’s work has been exhibited across Canada and throughout the United States. He won the Untitled Artist Award in 2005 for his installation The Strange Case of Peter K. (1974-2004). His most recent installation, 100 Stories About My Grandmother has been exhibited in Toronto at TPW (2008), Eastern Edge, St. John’s, Newfoundland (2009), Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, New Brunswick (2009), Latitude 53, Edmonton, Alberta (2009), Ace Art, Winnipeg, Manitoba (upcoming, 2009). Kingstone holds a Philosophy/Cultural Studies Degree from Trent University in Peterborough (1997), and a Masters of Fine Arts from York University, Toronto (2004).

Friday, September 18, 8pm @ CineCycle, 129 Spadina Ave.

Self-Proclaimed Amateur
John Kilduff in Person. Guest-curated by Iris Fraser-Gudrunas

This guest-curated programme is comprised of four works that employ an amateur aesthetic, either accidentally or strategically, by artists that could not be considered amateurs themselves. Making use of our ingrained belief that an outsider’s perspective is more honest than a conspicuously mediated effort, these four insiders use the semblance of clumsiness to relay a tangible candidness. Live performance by Los Angeles artist John Kilduff of Let’s Paint TV with videos by Carlos Gonzales, Mat Laporte and Don Miller.

Programme:

Crystal Ball, Carlos Gonzales, video 2008, 47:00 min (Providence RI)


Dance With Me Vendetta, Mat Laporte video 2002, 3:00 min (Toronto) 


History in Action, Don Miller, video 2007, 11:30 min (Redickville, ON) ***

Intermission

Let’s Paint TV, John Kilduff, Live Performance (Los Angeles, CA)


The Crystal Ball is a home made psycho-drama about a public access TV show host and his dedicated fan, turned enemy. With lo-fidelity aesthetic as direct reflection of the video’s content, Crystal Ball pulls you into madness with a style that acts as a visceral metaphor for the unpolished and intuitive psyche. Made in Providence, RI by Carlos Gonzalez, Robert Pickle, and Sasha Wiseman.

Dance with Me Vendetta is the introductory letter to a teen-jocks-discover-fine-art story, with the prospective plot lost by the wayside of an unruly night in an unfinished north-Ontarian cabin. Vendetta was edited in camera on VHS and shows a group of young men’s virginal thrust into the thrills of video-art.

History in Action is Don’s attempt to bridge a chasm between what he does to generate income and his artistic practice. The machines are ancient, but active. Like art these machines are not to be polished and put on pedestals, but have to be experienced and put to use. Don is not a 'video artist', but an artist who uses video to get an experience across to the viewer. He says of the idea of amateurism: “We are inundated by specialization and expertise. We have to allow room for the amateur/generalist. The more specialized we become the less we see of the space between and between is where the humour resides. Let's all take five and blow some bubbles.”

*** Please wear the earplugs provided for this video.

Let’s Paint TV started as a straight forward cable access how-to paint show but over time, turned into a chaotic attempt to add more creativity to the painting process for your average new painter. Host John Kilduff found, in the cable access audience and the show’s expanded format, a way to sincerely convey the importance of effort in creative pursuits. Let’s Paint TV’s youtube channel is now a cult favourite.

Carlos Gonzalez lives and works in Providence as a musician, comic artist, no-budget moviemaker, and terror group showman. He is a member of the band Russian Tsarlag and his comics have appeared in “Kramer's Ergot 6,” and “Nazi Knife.”

Mat Laporte is a screenwriter, poet and filmmaker now living in Toronto via Montreal, Edmonton and Sault-Ste. Marie. 



Don Miller works with stone, steel and wood in an income generating capacity, including timber frame construction, stone fireplaces and foundations and steel manufacture. He graduated from NSCAD in 2002. His artistic practice is idea based, wherein the necessary materials are gathered and worked together to enhance or inform that which is being materialized. His search is for a creative strategy for living.



John Kilduff got a BFA in Painting at Otis Art Institute and a MFA in Painting at UCLA. He started Let's Paint TV in 2001 on local Public Access TV in Los Angles. The show became popular on the internet via youtube in 2005. The show is now being seen daily on the internet and the show is performed live at various venues around the world.

Artist Run Centres/Art Collectives

Description: These spaces are established by artists for artists. Many of these galleries have mandates that encourage submissions for specific media and support socially and culturally motivated work. Within Canada there are over one-hundred of these centres (the majority within Quebec). The focus of an artist run centre is to present the work of emerging or early-career artists. The gallery programs both solo and group shows that deal with a wide range of materials, subject matter, and conceptual themes. Works tend to be both formally and conceptually experimental in nature.

Commercial Galleries

Description: A commercial or private gallery is managed by an individual or a small group of partners. Often the name of the gallery bears the name of the owner and operator (I.e. Jessica Bradley Projects).

This type of gallery is often referred to as a dealer since they represent and sell the work of artists they have selected. First and foremost, these galleries are businesses and their sole purpose is to profit from their sales. Throughout the year, these galleries present both solo and group exhibitions. If the artist sells work at any time, the gallery takes fifty percent of the sale price. These spaces are able to function based on profits acquired through the sale of work to private, corporate and public buyers (i.e. large institutional museums). Generally, commercial galleries are primarily concerned with representing only work that will generate revenue. It is rare for a viewer to experience large sculptural installations or more provocative and challenging work in this type of venue.

Institutional Galleries and Museums

Description: This type of gallery is probably one with which you are most familiar. These facilities present more than one exhibit at a time and are often managed by a large staff that may include a director, a team of curators, educational directors, volunteers, docents, etc.

Visitng the AGO, you would most likely see a large variety of exhibitions. The work housed in the museum has been acquired through a variety of means. Much of the work on display is part of a larger permanent collection, and often what you see is just a selection of work stored in the vaults of a museum. These large institutions house work that has either been donated or purchased through allocated funds. In addition, many museums become temporary venues for traveling exhibitions that the gallery supports along with its permanent work.

Ryan Trecartin Video

Structuring his art practice in the same way as a director approaches film making, Ryan Trecartin’s sculptural and installation work incorporates a cast of dozens. Conceiving each show as an experiment in theatrical production, Trecartin conceives loose plots as a basis for collaborative endeavour. Working with a posse of his close mates, Trecartin delegates responsibility: inviting his friends to participate in the creative process, respond to his ideas, and contribute their own input and artwork. Through this unorthodox way of working, Trecartin’s work becomes an uncanny reflection of youth culture, presenting a Gen Y zeitgeist of commodity anxiety, spiritual nihilism, and community value.

Trecartin is currently living in LA as a hurricane Katrina refugee; World Wall was conceived as a form of disaster therapy. Working with fellow artist Lizzie Fitch, the project was begun as a simple wooden fence. Enhanced through a series of Mardi Gras float making techniques, this work evolved into a diaristic tribute to New Orleans, a means of engaging with dislocation and loss. Conceived as both a location and living organism, World Wall sprawls with animistic fervour, a seething monument of chaos, festivity, rebirth, and beauty. Through the window, a picture can be seen of the ruins of Trecartin’s old house. (http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/ryan_trecartin.htm)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this studio course, students investigate issues of identity, gender, activism and the body within public and private space. Fieldwork will be emphasized, since the locus of the classroom becomes part of the critical inquiry of every day life or specific public events. Assignments will take into consideration the temporal nature of performance or the performative aspect of the work, and explore the various means of recording these temporal events, including memory itself. Students will be exposed to a range of interdisciplinary and trans-media approaches such as video and installation to utilize in the execution and recording of their work. In addition, students will be encouraged to explore the interactive dimension of the media they use.
