Reformed – a lens-based collective of emerging artists from the OCADU Photography Thesis Program

10 May to 4 Jul 2012

This exciting collection of work by these artists of Robert Kananaj Gallery explores subject matter that ranges from mortality, to the natural and the fantastical, to life and experience as contemplation of wonder “in or out the box.”

Featuring artists Jordan Seal and Sibylle Schwarz, along with Clara Bacou, Stephan Berg, Claude Breeze, Gon Bregu, Napoleon Brousseau, Matthew Green, Karen Grosman, Robert Kananaj, Ivana Kalezic, Lula Motra, Juan Carlos Noria, Mike Parsons, David Van Drunen, Luca Reffo, Mikel Temo, Stefan Thompson, Szonja Vucsetics, and Wing Yee Ton

Drawings by Mike Parsons

Stefan Thompson’s social enlightenment and environmentally friendly tuning started in Ottawa at the time of Juan’s mini movement.

Like a recurring dream, Brousseau’s ants have been scampering over the surfaces of Toronto’s buildings for years. A new sighting: above the
gallery’s front windows, a sculptural ants cocoon. The head of
one giant decapitated ant is clenched provocatively in the mandibles of
another, who peeks surreptitiously out of a hole of mangled and bulging
plastic.
