The Exhibition Preview showcases the work created by the aforementioned artists in a series of micro-residencies at the mMOCCA’s temporary studio space shared with the Gendai Workstation at 1256 Bloor Street W. The exhibition preview is on from February 28th to March 3rd , from 11 – 6 pm daily. The Silent Auction and Reception will take place on Saturday March 3rd, from 7 -12pm at 1256 Bloor Street W.
Funds raised at this event will be directed to support AHGSA’s 11th annual symposium: New Growth, Dialogues on the Tree, taking place on March 31st 2012 – developed in collaboration with the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, on the occasion of “The McMichael Tree Project”. The symposium intends to center the tree as a site for cultural inquiry from an interdisciplinary perspective. It aims to explore topics such as: the tree, landscape, and ideology; ecopoetics and the tree as metaphor; and the tree within nationalist and postnationalist narratives, among others.
