The Critical Wake of Makemake @ Fountain Enterprises

1261 Dundas St West, Toronto

an exhibition by Kathleen Reichelt and performance by art noise band 253469

Opening Party Thursday, December 15, 9pm

The Critical Wake of Makemake is an imagined manifestation and the yet un-realized vessel moving towards antirealism.  It is a fictional understanding communicated through a state of constant becoming.  It is created in order to claim its rightful place in the present.  The creative inheritance being colour and transparency, rituals and the rites of masks, concealment and revealing.  Visualized openings and objects appear to convey relationships of struggle, power, ease and awkwardness through overlapping and propinquity.  Power can be seen as European realism still trumping other cultural, individual and philosophical alternatives.  Abstraction can be seen as the rejection to this that it was 70 years ago.

The Critical Wake of Makemake is also a live performance by the art noise band 253469 starting at 9pm on Thursday December 15th.  Two 30 minute punk jazz performances including such standards as “I fly my plane backwards”, “Round the decibel” and “A ton of nothing” (senseless language, analogue and digital synthesizers and one loud electric stick guitar.)

Exhibition runs 12.15.11 - 01.25.12

1pm to 4pm.

The expanded show includes an all-day letterpress event on Sunday December
11, with some of the city’s most creative printers.

It’s the season for giving.  Artists will be decorating a chair, which will
be auctioned at the end of the show.  The proceeds will go to Sketch, which
supports impoverished youth.
