ABOUT THE ARTIST:

More than an artist, MISTER LAW is a hodgepodge of cultural curiosity. The creator of PICKLED PETS (stuffed animals preserved in Mason jars in a “secret brine”), this self-proclaimed resident of the 4th dimension embodies the unbridled spirit of graffiti street art and the gosh-golly podunk folksiness of roadside boiled peanuts. MISTER LAW’s colorfully animated canvases and animal head cut-outs inspire wonderment. MISTER LAW’s cute and creepy PICKLED PETS capture the imagination and leave the most adept art connoisseur wondering “what they is?” and “what does it all mean?” Owner of LAW*MART Discount Art Gallery & Tattoo, MISTER LAW is as enigmatic as he is charming. “I do these things because It tells me to.” When asked what “It” is, MISTER LAW simply responds, “Yer lookin’ at it.” 

“You can drink ‘em. But I wouldn’t advise it.”

Northern Exposure at BBG
Toronto, October 17: Ever wonder what it would be like to attend a wedding above the Arctic Circle? Have you ever had the opportunity to taste northern delicacies prepared by a renowned northern chef? And what about musical instruments unique to the north? Ever attend a concert where all of the instruments were creations of those native to the north? And what of the formal garb worn to celebrate special occasions in that distant land?
By the way, we are not speaking of the Canadian north. Bezpala Brown Gallery has the honour of hosting an exhibition unlike any that has been held in Canada previously. With the organizing prowess of the Trade Commissioner of the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia of the Russian Federation in Canada and the financial assistance of Silver Bear Resources Inc., we have been able to attract visual artists, costume designers and musicians widely known and celebrated by the Sakha people. And to add a Canadian flare, we have works of 17 northern Canadian artists and sculptors to help us examine the similarities and differences between the Canadian north and our northern Russian counterparts.
While the exhibition runs from October 15th to 30th, the event to attend will be held on October 22nd from 12 to 3 pm. We will feature improvisations by Claudia & Herman Khatylaevs, performing on more than 15 traditional Yakutian musical instruments; re-creation of a Sakha wedding to showcase celebratory Yakutian costumes designed by Avgustina Filippova; traditional Sakha delicacies created by celebrity chef Innokentiy Tarbakhov (chef to the last three Presidents of the Republic); and the visual artworks of Mikhail Starostin (etchings and oils), Andrey Chikachev (prints)and Evgenia Arbugaeva (photography) among other Sakha artists. We contrast these artworks with the work of 17 Inuit artists including Annie Pootoogook (etching and aquatint), Shuvinai Ashoona (etching and aquatint), Kavavaow Mannomee (lithograph)and Nuna Parr (sculpture).  Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase originals and giclées from several artists. The Khatylaevs, Mr. Starostin. Ms. Filippova and Ms. Arbugaeva will be in attendance to discuss their creations.
A precursor to this event was already positively reviewed in the Globe and Mail (http://www.bezpalabrown.com/files/Northern_Russian_Artists_Make_Tracks_article.pdf) and there is now much more to see and hear. 
BBG also wishes to acknowledge and thank our other sponsors to this exhibition: CERBA (Canada Eurasia Russia Business Association) and Yakutian media sponsor Zhurfix.

ART TORONTO 2011, CANADA’S ONLY MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY
INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR, RETURNS TO TORONTO OCTOBER 28 TO 31

Toronto, September 12, 2011 — Collectors, curators and art enthusiasts will converge on Toronto at the end of October to experience the twelfth edition of Art Toronto - a four-day fair which showcases exhibits by 109 leading and emerging international galleries from 13 countries. Art Toronto 2011 runs from October 28 to 31, and features alternative spaces curated by The Drake Hotel, Canadian Art magazine, the Art Gallery of York University and the Art Dealers Association of Canada. Other highlights of the fair include solo exhibitions, installations and curated projects by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Kent Monkman, Edward Burtynsky, Chuck Close and many more. An Opening Night Preview to benefit the Art Gallery of Ontario will launch the fair on October 27. Media are invited to a special preview tour of the fair on October 27, before it opens to the public.

“Art Toronto is more than a place to buy and sell art, it’s also about opportunity: opportunities for galleries to meet artists, fellow dealers and curators,” said Linel Rebenchuk, of Art Toronto.  “It also allows visitors to see the best of what the art world has to offer, and gives attendees the opportunity to learn and take part in forums, interviews, performances and panel discussions.”

Special to Art Toronto 2011
 
Art Toronto 2011 Media Preview Tour – Thursday October 27th at 10am and Friday October 28th at 10am
Join us for breakfast and be among the first to experience Art Toronto 2011, hear about the special programming and witness the unveiling of the BMW art car. This preview tour will feature the work of Kent Monkman, Edward Burtynsky and other hidden gems and exhibits you won’t want to miss. Please RSVP to tkuld@artscom.ca.

Opening Night Preview
On Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011, Art Toronto will host a celebratory launch of the fair and a benefit for the Art Gallery of Ontario. At this special ticketed event, guests can preview and purchase works of art before the fair opens to the public, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and socializing with some of today’s leading artists whose work is featured at Art Toronto. Visit http://www.ago.net/art-toronto-2011 for details and to purchase tickets.
 
The Art Game - Commissioned Flagship Project by Kent Monkman
Curated by Steven Loft, The Art Game is a life-size maze, constructed from booth walls identical to the Art Fair itself, which takes the audience through an art world “funhouse”. The meandering corridors are made more confusing with the use of double-sided mirrors, trick windows, and fake doors, forcing the audience into a challenging experience of disorientation and multiple choice – not unlike the real art world. Dispersed throughout the maze are four “dioramas”, in the form of four small rooms, each one presenting the four key players in the Art Game: artist, curator/museum director, gallerist, and collector.

Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition
With the support of Art Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art is pleased to announce Edward Burtynsky as the Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition Artist. For more information go to www.mocca.ca or visit their booth during Art Toronto 2011.



The BMW Art Car
As the official vehicle of Art Toronto 2011, BMW Canada is proud to present iconic artist Andy Warhol’s 1979 Art Car – the BMW M1. Since 1975, artists from around the world have turned BMW automobiles into art, signifying a particular period through the Art Car program. The name Andy Warhol is the quintessence of pop art. He began his artistic career as a commercial artist and was successful in holding his own exhibitions in New York as early as 1952. BMW Canada is extremely proud to bring Warhol’s Art Car to Toronto as a means of sharing one of the company’s many cultural initiatives with Canadians.

RBC Canadian Painting Competition
Established in 1999, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is a tribute to Canada’s artistic talent. The goal of the competition is to support and nurture emerging Canadian visual artists by providing them with a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunities. Selected works from previous year’s semi-finalists are on exhibit at Art Toronto 2011 or see the paintings of all 15 semi-finalists by visiting www.rbc.com/paintingcompetition.
 
Curatorial Program
Entitled Place, this initiative is curated by William Huffman and explores the notion of navigation as a unifying theme – ultimately moving people through the fair and activating existing elements with a four artist, intervention-based mechanisms. This initiative is a presentation partnership between Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF), Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) and Art Toronto.
 
Foodservices with Jon Sasaki: This commission initiative will be available exclusively through food services at Art Toronto. Sasaki will create artist multiples for take-away by altering cocktail napkins and paper plates in an effort to connect with the Art Toronto visitor and make unique, the banal consumables expected to be part of conventional hospitality service.
 
Mapping an Exhibition with William Huffman: This project is intended to highlight individual artworks already on display in the various booths by creating an exhibition that links the works physically and conceptually through route instructions. This component will be activated by a take-away map and instruction kit, which guides visitors through the fair occasionally highlighting works of particular interest at various gallery booths. Along with the map device, signage will identify the featured pieces and provide didactic or narrative information. The selection of works may change daily, thereby telling a different story and, incorporating as many galleries/artists as possible.

The meandering corridors are made more confusing with the use of double-sided mirrors, trick windows, and fake doors, forcing the audience into a challenging experience of disorientation and multiple choice – not unlike the real art world. Dispersed throughout the maze are four “dioramas”, in the form of four small rooms, each one presenting the four key players in the Art Game: artist, curator/museum director, gallerist, and collector.

Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition

With the support of Art Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art is pleased to announce Edward Burtynsky as the Art Toronto 2011 MOCCA Benefit Edition Artist. For more information go to www.mocca.ca or visit their booth during Art Toronto 2011.

The BMW Art Car

As the official vehicle of Art Toronto 2011, BMW Canada is proud to present iconic artist Andy Warhol’s 1979 Art Car – the BMW M1. Since 1975, artists from around the world have turned BMW automobiles into art, signifying a particular period through the Art Car program. The name Andy Warhol is the quintessence of pop art. He began his artistic career as a commercial artist and was successful in holding his own exhibitions in New York as early as 1952. BMW Canada is extremely proud to bring Warhol’s Art Car to Toronto as a means of sharing one of the company’s many cultural initiatives with Canadians.

RBC Canadian Painting Competition

Established in 1999, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is a tribute to Canada’s artistic talent. The goal of the competition is to support and nurture emerging Canadian visual artists by providing them with a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunities. Selected works from previous year’s semi-finalists are on exhibit at Art Toronto 2011 or see the paintings of all 15 semi-finalists by visiting www.rbc.com/paintingcompetition.

 

Curatorial Program

Entitled Place, this initiative is curated by William Huffman and explores the notion of navigation as a unifying theme – ultimately moving people through the fair and activating existing elements with a four artist, intervention-based mechanisms. This initiative is a presentation partnership between Toronto Arts Foundation (TAF), Art Dealers Association of Canada (ADAC) and Art Toronto.

 

Foodservices with Jon Sasaki: This commission initiative will be available exclusively through food services at Art Toronto. Sasaki will create artist multiples for take-away by altering cocktail napkins and paper plates in an effort to connect with the Art Toronto visitor and make unique, the banal consumables expected to be part of conventional hospitality service.

 

Mapping an Exhibition with William Huffman: This project is intended to highlight individual artworks already on display in the various booths by creating an exhibition that links the works physically and conceptually through route instructions. This component will be activated by a take-away map and instruction kit, which guides visitors through the fair occasionally highlighting works of particular interest at various gallery booths. Along with the map device, signage will identify the featured pieces and provide didactic or narrative information. The selection of works may change daily, thereby telling a different story and, incorporating as many galleries/artists as possible.

The provenance of Sakha (Yakut) people of Siberia, Russia is still much of a mystery. Their language belongs to the Turkic group. Their origin is still a much debated subject among historians and archeologists. Yet, much of Sakha cultural background is referred to Olonkho, the oldest epic arts of the Turkic-Mongolian peoples, proclaimed by UNESCO a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (http://www.unesco.org/culture/intangible-heritage/35eur_uk.htm). For the first time in Canada, the audience will experience the world of Northern Russian aboriginal art featuring Mikhail Starostin, Andrey Chikachev, Gennadiy Dubovoy, Mikhail Simonov, Tujara Markova, Valeriy Bessonov, Maria Gulyayeva, Olga Rakhleeva, and Anna Petrova. As well, a burgeoning photographic talent, Evgenia Arbugaeva, will present her newest collection - vivid depictions of Siberian life - showing why she has received awards in Moscow, Paris and New York. FREE ADMISSION. Wine and cheese will be served.

BY MISTER LAW
OPENING RECEPTION & PARTY:

Live painting by the artist auctioned off at the end of the night.
Featuring Special Guest :
DJ BLBRLPP, aka “The Olden Child”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
More than an artist, MISTER LAW is a hodgepodge of cultural curiosity. The creator of PICKLED PETS (stuffed animals preserved in Mason jars in a “secret brine”), this self-proclaimed resident of the 4th dimension embodies the unbridled spirit of graffiti street art and the gosh-golly podunk folksiness of roadside boiled peanuts. MISTER LAW’s colorfully animated canvases and animal head cut-outs inspire wonderment. MISTER LAW’s cute and creepy PICKLED PETS capture the imagination and leave the most adept art connoisseur wondering “what they is?” and “what does it all mean?” Owner of LAW*MART Discount Art Gallery & Tattoo, MISTER LAW is as enigmatic as he is charming. “I do these things because It tells me to.” When asked what “It” is, MISTER LAW simply responds, “Yer lookin’ at it.” 
“You can drink ‘em. But I wouldn’t advise it.”
