Come to the Toronto School of Art for
A critic’s talk by the Queen of Sass from ArtStars* NADJA SAYEJ 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 9
410 Adelaide St. West, 3rd Floor
pay what you can + cash bar

Tired of ArtSpeak* pyramids and post-modern mummies? Join the club. There are 7 Unsolved Mysteries of the Art World and ArtStars* unveils
them all this summer.

The ArtStars* Odyssey is a new world tour that will bluster through
the map to expose what is obsolete in the art world and why you should
stay tuned for the Toronto vlog you love to hate. Stick around after for an ArtStars* pop quiz with prizes! How hardcore
a fan are you?

Nadja Sayej is against pretentious ArtSpeak* as well as long and
complicated bios. She is the host of ArtStars* – “TMZ for the art
scene” – a legendary You Tube reality TV show which has garnered a
cult following for her Gonzo, balls-out approach to the white box.
Nadja has been called “Jeannie Beker of the art world,” by Eye Weekly,
“a gonzo skewering of sanctified art pretense” by the Toronto Star and
“center stage in Toronto” by Art in America. A pioneer of the internet TV revolution, Nadja has stuck the ArtStars*
mic in the famous faces of Douglas Coupland, Bruce La Bruce, Peaches,
Robert Gober and even got naked for Richard Kern (but didn’t get paid
for it). Redefining the role of the art critic, her reporting and
criticism has blazed through the pages of the Globe and Mail and The
New York Times, C magazine, artUS and Border Crossings but still can’t
find post-modernism in the dictionary. Hungry for more? You’d better
be: http://artstarstv.com

New Shape; A Visual Arts Exhibition
presented by The Laidlaw Foundation June 9th - 20th
Gallery hours are 1-6, Wed - Sun

Gallery 1313
1313a Queen Str W
Toronto
g1313.org
laidlawfdn.org The role art plays in the creation and perpetuation of strong and
positive communities is invaluable. Art can be the mirror we hold
before us to see something deeper in ourselves or it can articulate in
others what was unknowable before; an empathic vision from one person
to another, a change in perception – a New Shape. In this sense, art
acts as a microcosm; an arena for action that reflects the
originality, progressivism, leadership and bold experimentalism that
these young artists bring to their communities.

This exhibition gathers pieces by artists who tangibly work towards
creating the communities they believe in, who are able to express not
only an artistic vision, but a vision for society that incorporates
fairness, justice and the idealism that characterizes their actions.
The organizations providing the space, education and encouragement for
these young artists to flourish are part of the fabric of healthy
communities. The Laidlaw organization Foundation is proud to have worked
withsupported these artists through and organizations that it funds,
and invites you to view the exhibition “New Shape”. From June 9th to
20th at Gallery 1313.

08. OPENING | Christopher Cutts Gallery | DAISUKE TAKEYA | JUN 10
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- Opening Reception: Thursday, June 10th, 2010, 6pm – 9pm
Exhibition runs until: July 31st, 2010
Christopher Cutts Gallery, 21 Morrow Avenue, Toronto, ON, 416 532 5566

Christopher Cutts Gallery is pleased to announce Daisuke Takeya in his
3rd solo exhibition at the gallery titled “Perfect World”. “Perfect World” is an exhibition of oil paintings. When seen from a
distance these Canadian and International landscapes appear abstract.
The sky is predominant and is reminiscent of atmospheric colour field
abstractions via Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. Nevertheless a closer
look reveals the existence of a diminutive low horizon cityscape along
the bottom edge of the painting.

“Perfect World” suggests that perfection may be possible on earth
depending on your perspective—despite cultural differences, and the
uneasy relationship between cities and nature. The spirit of idealism,
and the quest for balance and harmony, shines through in Baroque and
Classical compositions, inviting one to escape through a window in
time, toward a perfect world. There will be a musical performance by deVah string quartet during the
opening reception.

Additional information and publication-quality digital image files are
available by calling Christopher Cutts or Laura Horne at 416-532-5566.

10. OPENING | JMB Gallery | Ed Pien and Samonie Toonoo | JUN 10
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Justina M. Barnicke Gallery presents: Scream
Ed Pien and Samonie Toonoo

Curated by Nancy Campbell June 10 - August 21, 2010
Opening: Thursday, June 10, 6:00 to 8:00 pm

Edvard Munch’s well-known—and much written about— painting, The
Scream, was created in 1893, and is widely considered to represent the
universal anxiety of modern man. It depicts a screaming figure with a
skull-like face, who appears to be in the throes of an unknown
emotional crisis. This image is now one of the most familiar in art
history, having been adapted and reused in the popular arts in a
myriad of ways. Undoubtedly, our continued fascination with The Scream
reflects the universality of anxiety in contemporary life. The
exhibition Scream explores this ongoing fascination through the work
of Ed Pien and Samonie Toonoo. Samonie Toonoo, an artist from the remote community of Cape Dorset,
Baffin Island, has likely not seen The Scream or heard of Ed Pien.
However, although it is a stretch to compare Inuit soapstone sculpture
to contemporary drawing, let alone late-nineteenth-century Symbolist
painting, the similarities between the two artists’s interests are
striking. Toonoo was born in 1969. He has been carving for a number of
years and his art typically represents transformation scenes drawn
from Inuit folklore and nature. In an interview Toonoo describes his
sculptures as a release of the “stuff in his head”; hence their
sometimes cryptic and often frightening quality. His most recent body
of work is highly personal, seeming to reflect the different aspects
of his life. Like his contemporaries, Toonoo has broken out of the
prescribed expectations of Inuit art, forging a new vocabulary to
interpret and represent the world.

Established Toronto-based artist Ed Pien was born on the other side of
the world in Taiwan in 1958 and immigrated to Canada when he was
eleven. Pien’s ghosts of Taiwanese folklore and his representations
of western Hell also play to the anxieties of contemporary life. Pien
has continued to make use of a quick and prolific mode of drawing he
developed, sometimes assembling multiple drawings into composite works
or employing the wet ink as a mono-print to start a new image. These
drawings, some taking three minutes, others intricately constructed
over time, are immediate and intuitive, exploring primal fears and
otherness. The exhibition Scream: Ed Pien and Samonie Toonoo follows last
summer’s critically acclaimed exhibition Noise Ghost: Shary Boyle and
Shuvinai Asoona, continuing curator Nancy Campbell’s interests in
spinning the expectation of Inuit art by positioning the work
alongside contemporary work from the south.

13. OPENING | Launch Projects | KAREN JUSTL: The Dolls in the
Playground | JUNE 11
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Karen Justl and The Ontario College of Art and Design present:
The Dolls in The Playground a Masters Thesis Exhibition
Launch Projects Gallery, 404 Adelaide St West
June 10 – 13, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, June 11th, 7pm to 10pm

Rainer Maria Rilke laments that the one’s fusion with the doll is a
barren union that promises everything and delivers nothing,“dragged as
companions into cots, abducted into the deep furrows of illnesses,
appearing in dreams, entangled in the disasters of feverish nights
-such is the nature of dolls”. Gothic in contemporary art is more art-directed and atmospheric than
neatly defined. It easily bleeds into related terminology,
particularly the dreamscape of the uncanny, the filthy abject, the
figurative domain of caricature or grotesquery, while retaining it’s
original evocative power and resilient nature. It is also a nod to the
many early forms and expressions of Gothic especially those put
forward by the romantics of the late 18th and early 19th century in
art, literature and film. Like those sinister romantics, Karen Justl’s
experiments in The Dolls in The Playground also rejects the rational
and favours the supernatural, in order to spark the magic of the
imagination. The Gothic underpinning this work has to do with the
comedy of death, transgression, a mixing the irrational and
scientific, the living and the dead, the Pagan and Christian,
innocence and corruption. It is ugly in the face, a band of outsiders
celebrating depression and antagonism. It is a grotesquery that greets
one with a disembodied hand, a pail of hot oil suspended over the
entranceway, the sound of laughing from behind the wall or under the
floorboards or an unmoving small menacing figure in a labcoat with a
hatchet.

The pretense of contemporary Gothic is used as a cloak worn by Justl’s
experiments illustrating emotion through dolls, figurines and toys in
a tableau vivant or living-theatre style exhibition. This work
attempts to redefine the concept of the Gothic as it relates to the
human forms that she is creating. Justl also attempts to insidiously
implicate or insist life through emotional states in these figures by
placing them in what she refers to as ‘predicaments’, in order to tell
their stories. Justl moves these inanimate objects through their
external expressions and relationship to one another, believing that
these grotesque forms facilitate an inquiry into what it means to be
real, or alive. Launch Projects

16. PERFORMANCE | FADO Performance Art Centre | Lori Blondeau | JUN 11
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

FADO Performance Art Centre presents Feast and/or Famine by Lori Blondeau Friday June 11, 2010
4:00 - 6:00pm

Butterfield Park at OCAD
100 McCaul Street, Toronto FADO is pleased to present a new performance art work by First Nations
Canadian artist Lori Blondeau in conjunction with the PSi Conference
(Performance Studies International) taking place in Toronto from June
9-12, 2010.

In Feast and/or Famine, the artist creates an image of the hard at
work Indian Princess/Squaw, preparing the fire and gathering place,
juxtaposed with a modern day feast (the BBQ) that brims over with
plenty but feeds no one at the gathering. “The images of the Indian Princess and Squaw have had a significant
impact on societies’ perception of Indian women and serve as
inspirations for most of my work. Surprisingly, we still see
popularized images of the Indian Princess being created by both native
and non-native people. You can find these products being sold in
Indian Museums and souvenir shops across North America. These are
testament to the general public’s idealized perception of beautiful
Native women as being exotic and hard to find – virtually
non-existent. The other side of the Indian Princess is, of course, the
squaw – another of societies’ iconic scapegoats meant to desensitize
both the general public’s view of Indian women (their political,
historical and social issues as well), and the self perception among
Native women themselves.

My work explores the influence of popular media and culture
(contemporary and historical) on Aboriginal self-identity, self-image,
and self-definition. I am currently exploring the impact of
colonization on traditional and contemporary roles and lifestyles of
aboriginal women. I deconstruct the images of the Indian Princess and
the Squaw and reconstruct an image of absurdity and insert these
hybrids into the mainstream. The performance personas I have created
refer to the damage of colonialism and to the ironic pleasures of
displacement and resistance.” ~Lori Blondeau For more information:

Notable works——In 1998, Matmos remixed the Björk single Alarm Call.
Subsequently, Matmos worked with Björk on her albums Vespertine (2001)
and Medúlla (2004), as well as her Vespertine and Greatest Hits tours.
In November 2004, Matmos spent 97 hours in the Yerba Buena Center for
the Arts as artists in residence, performing music with friends,
musical guests and onlookers. The live album Work, Work, Work,
essentially a “best of” collection of the session, was released as a
free download from their website. Matmos gained notoriety for their use of samples including “freshly
cut hair” and “the amplified neural activity of crayfish” on their
first album and “recorded the snips, clicks, snaps, and squelches of
various surgical procedures, then nipped and tucked them into seven
remarkably accessible, melodic pieces of experimental techno” for
their album A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure.

Pitchfork review of “A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure” (8.8)
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/5151-a-chance-to-cut-is-a-chance-to-cure/ Joining Matmos are So Percussion.

SO PERCUSSION:
New York Times review—- “Time and time again…you found yourself
smiling in a quiet amazement that could verge on disbelief” What kind of music is this? For So Percussion, the question has never
been an easy one. They’d never been just another modern performance
ensemble anyway. Following two acclaimed albums of rigorous music by
modern master Steve Reich and even-more-modern masters David Lang and
Evan Ziporyn, as well as ongoing collaborations with electronic gurus
Matmos, the 20-something quartet has discovered a bold new voice:
their own.

Called “astonishing and entrancing” by Billboard, “brilliant” by the
New York Times, the discovery is perfectly appropriate. Coming
together in the green pastures of New Haven at Yale’s graduate
program, So Percussion was created to give fresh voice to what
co-founder Jason Treuting calls “funky contemporary music.” Devoted to
the conceptual dreamscapes of Reich, Iannis Xenakis, John Cage, and
others, So established a disciplined work ethic, absorbing pieces over
months in the Yale studio. A call to Bang on a Can founder David Lang
yielded a commission. Called “a must-hear” by Billboard, their
self-titled debut featured Lang’s “the so-called laws of nature.” In 2004, realizing Steve Reich’s nine-part “Drumming” as a quartet,
they made one small step for music, one radical step for a percussion
group: they overdubbed — and to great success. Having explored the
past, in the form of Reich’s classics, and the present, in the form of
Lang and Ziporyn’s freshest, it was time for So to start exploring the
future. In that vein, their newest CD/DVD Amid the Noise began as an
after-hours project. Eager to expand their palette, the members of So
experimented with glockenspiel, toy piano, vibraphones, bowed marimba,
melodica, tuned and prepared pipes, metals, a wayward ethernet port,
and all kinds of sound programming. The resulting idiosyncratic tone
explorations were synchronized to Jenise Treuting’s haunting films of
street scenes in Brooklyn and Kyoto.

2 of 2 Gallery is pleased to present Structured Abstractions, a solo
exhibition of new paintings by Chrissy Cheung. Presenting a celebration of structured abstractions this exhibition
features Chrissy Cheung’s largest paintings ever created to date. The
grandeur of the large scale work was created through an
experimentation of dry-brush techniques, block print stencils, gelling
canvas string, and dry pigment paint mixtures. Some of the paintings
measure approximately 6 feet by 10 feet (183cm x 305 cm).

The atmosphere of each painting is created without figurative
elements. A slight narrative reveals itself as a scene by forming the
work with linking elements (as in the paintings Cartograph and
Streaming Light). The method Cheung uses is very free in nature and without planned
elements. Her influences come from eclectic music and contemporary
dance. The attempt at bridging the border between painting and drawing
draws closer; using the strengths of singular drawing elements in a
painting and focusing on its overall space and composition.

Outdoor Screening behind CineCycle, 129 Spadina Ave. (down the lane)
(Rain date: Sunday, June 13, 8pm) www.pdome.org/ 416-656-5577 In celebration of over three hundred screenings since Fall 1989,
Pleasure Dome has asked two of Toronto’s most admired curators to gaze
deeply into the archives and curate a two-part program of past works
that still resonate from the darkened cinema.

Program 1: Association Games by Sarah Robayo Sheridan “An anniversary is an occasion to take stock. Each film in this
program is based around some type of inventory or enumeration. Rather
than a strict taxonomy, each is a wayward list. While avowing a
penchant for the ordering system, each is prepared to make certain
exceptions to allow for whimsy. The films are grammatical but funny.
The order of their appearance is as follows: a very rare print of
