SHADOWLAND at Evergreen Brick Works

Set among the historic kilns of Evergreen Brick Works, SHADOWLAND is Sasha Chapman’s first solo photography show. Viewers are immersed and implicated in a changing ravine underworld that features a “forest” of 12 floating images, soundscape and text. Ravines are Toronto’s defining topographical feature; they are also its defining metaphorical feature. Dark, mysterious, and often irrational, they function—as Margaret Atwood has suggested—as the city’s unconscious. SHADOWLAND challenges human-centric, rational understanding and gestures towards mythic and ecological interpretations of the watershed we all depend on. Part of Toronto’s 2024 CONTACT Photography Festival.

Date May 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024*

* On July 16, Evergreen Brick Works experienced waist-high flooding throughout the site and in the City Builders Gallery. Recovery efforts are ongoing. SHADOWLAND is closed until further notice.

Time 9 am to 5 pm

Location City Builders Gallery at Evergreen Brick Works, 550 Bayview Ave., Toronto

Third Annual Juried Show at the Art Gallery of Mississauga

More than 300 emerging and established Ontario artists responded to the AGM’s open call. Jurors Noni Kaur, Sara Mozafari and Ed Pien carefully assessed the artworks on the basis of images and anonymous artist statements. The exhibition includes sculpture, textiles, photography, drawing and painting, as well as interactive, digital, and multi-media works. From delicately rendered formal explorations to assertive calls for social justice, this exhibition speaks to the incredible breadth of investigation that contemporary art embraces.

Date November 21, 2023 to January 14, 2024

Time Tuesday to Friday 10 am to 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday noon to 4 pm.

Location Art Gallery of Mississauga, 300 City Centre Dr., Mississauga
