Prolonged Perception 
Recent Paintings by Doug Reina

On View at Gallery North 
April 7 - May 22

Doug Reina’s first solo exhibition at Gallery North, Prolonged Perception: Recent Paintings by Doug Reina highlights the artist’s exploration of obscure, ordinary spaces of contemporary life that are often shielded from view. Austere, brooding compositions, Reina’s paintings find a dream-like emptiness within back streets, shacks, and overgrown backyards. Each painting begins black. Color and form are added over a black ground, lifting them out of the picture plane. Colors blast forth. There are broad flashes of light, but the black ground remains visible everywhere. It pops out between brushstrokes or creates a colossal abyss below buildings, pulling the rug out from underneath them. There is a rootlessness here. We wander in some lucid dream, half remembered; amid dark voids and divine light. He leads us into a space of sharp contrasts, one in which our eye fragments into the surface it contemplates. 
Edward M. Puchner 
Executive Director 
Gallery North

TBA launches its first ever publication!

This week, TBA launched the publication Water, Kinship, Belief, co-published by the Toronto Biennial of Art and Art Metropole. Spanning the 2019 Biennial, entitled The Shoreline Dilemma, as well as our 2022 edition, What Water Knows, The Land Remembers, this book is a “third” site, a place where the continuities, resonances, and dissonances between editions are made evident. Water, Kinship, Belief is a means to bring together the artists, artworks, collaborators, and ideas that have informed the exhibitions and programs.

Couldn’t join us for the launch? Catch up on what you missed here.

Water, Kinship, Belief will be available to purchase at select TBA sites soon, but you can purchase your copy anytime when you click here.

TBA Curatorial Fellowship Highlight

The Curatorial Fellowship Program, made possible by the generous support of TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment, was conceived of as an experimental and collaborative process through which emerging curators can cultivate personal curatorial methodologies, and realize a substantial curatorial project within the framework of the Toronto Biennial of Art. The inaugural fellows are Sebastian De Line (Haudenosaunee-Métis-Cantonese/Canada) and Chiedza Pasipanodya (Zimbabwe/Canada).

"Ngozi: We Might Listen for the Shimmerings" by Chiedza Pasipanodya

Ngozi: We Might Listen for the Shimmerings is an ongoing curatorial project surrounding belief, death, and embodied listening. Following a series of familial roadside deaths surrounded by myth and uncertainty, this exhibition embarks along tributaries of thought exploring the unfinished nature of death with three artists – Timothy Yanick Hunter, Anne Zanele Mutema, and 
Buhlebezwe Siwani.

Commissioned by the Toronto Biennial of Art, Ngozi: We Might Listen for the Shimmerings is made possible by the generous support of TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment, and with support from the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council. 

"The Shape of Sound" by Sebastian De Line

Comprising over fifty multimedia artists, musicians, designers and curators, Jatiwangi art Factory’s (JaF) artistic practices emphasize local rural life in relation to land and the terracotta industry in Jatiwangi District. Clay is central to all of their artistic and cultural activities in the spirit of community empowerment. As April 2nd, 2022 marked the beginning of the month of Ramadan in Canada, JaF rings in the opening of the Biennial while calling forth a time of fasting, introspection, and prayer observed by many community members of Toronto. The material remnants of this performance remain at the Small Arms Inspection Building for the duration of the exhibition.

The Shape of Sound is made possible by the generous support of TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment, and in partnership with the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Gardiner Museum. Accommodations generously provided by The Drake Hotel.
