Brigitta Kocsis’ paintings blend realism, illustration and expressive painterly gestures in a chaotic and visually charged landscape. Her current series, Contingent Bodies, focuses on the representation of bodies in transformation – both organic and unfamiliar. The painting’s surface is used to transform energies and refabricate the body with suggestions of contamination, connectivity and displacement, reflecting Kocsis’ cultural history as a Hungarian, Romany and Canadian. Fragmented bodies emerge in the play between abstraction and figuration, embedded in perpetual rootlessness, containing exile and otherness within themselves. These polymorphic figures confront sexual and cultural categorization, recasting the body as part imaginary and part construct. Exploring notions of the cyborg and the prosthetic, these figures exist between the human and post-human, biotechnological and sexualized bodies, and the fashion industry and anime.

"Celli's installation stands garish and threatening, seeming at first to be an obvious comment on the politics of our time Considered more closely, the piece reveals the artist's concern with aesthetics and the assignation of "values and morals" to art."

Multi-disciplinary Cree-Métis artist, Jude Norris, employs idiosyncratic combinations of 'Native' material, language, traditional creative practice, and iconography with elements of western technology, art practice, theory, and language. Grounded by a strong aesthetic sensibility, and often a subtle humour, her work is an exploration and expression of the oddness and challenges of contemporary colonized reality.

Dyptichs by artist Mark Igloliorte features over a hundred observational works of still lifes and studio vignette paintings, a series that has been ongoing since 2010. Painted upon torn phonebook paper, Igloliorte uses this practice to explore the ideas of place - both the studio interior and at the city, town or whole region the phonebook indexes.

Villeneuve makes poetic machines by assembling familiar materials that he barely transforms. His works move, emit light and produce sounds in ways that challenge one’s assumption about it’s imaginary function.

Based on the classic conventions of portrait photography, Shari Hatt`s exhibition Dogs is an unflinching, up-close look at the mug shots of many marvelous mutts. Captured in lush, crisp intensity, these avant-guard dogs cut a colourful cross section of the canine world. From the smiling to the somber, the perky to the petulant, the playful to the proud, Hatt portrays each of her subjects with a careful blend of humour, sensitivity and respect. As a result, Dogs serves to please the eye while puzzling the mind.
