We made a new video! Watch #christopherjacqueslacroix offer insights into his public artwork , at Canada Line: BroadwayCity Hall Station. At once tragic and campy, Lacroix’s #CapturePhotoFest2020 Public Art Project is a series of photographs where the artist holds up crumpled foiled letter balloons that once spelled out statements. Rather than discard these objects that have served a purpose, the artist hol...ds them up triumphantly, monumentalizing them perhaps in hopes that they will once again become legible. If you’re by Broadway-City Hall station take a moment to look for it before it is de-installed later this month.

#BirthePiontek's forthcoming solo exhibition, opens this Fri Sept 11 Gallery Jones! In this new body of work, Piontek continues a practice of emotional gravitas peppered with a wry appreciation of the absurd. We’re excited to see her exhibition finally come together and experience her latest work! "Disembodied elements of the artist’s physical self interact with equally temporal set pieces such as gourds, flowers, and fruit. In some cases, this unlikely alliance i...s forced into being by a pair of nylons: the absurd is beginning to dictate terms to the norm. Like the Roman god after whom the exhibition is named, Piontek is giving substance to the change that comes as deliberately as sunlight across a room." - Shane O'Brien, Gallery Jones Learn more here: https://capturephotofest.com/exhibitions/janus/ Part of #CapturePhotofest2020 Selected Exhibition Program
