Detail view

Angela Hoang, What happened at 1:52 pm?, oil on canvas

Jasmine Vanstone, Persephone's Panganat-Coolie, digital collage. The reordering presmise of the collage creates a new grammar out of preexistings signs — ties in well with the show's theme.
-
Klara VY, Urban Fabric
-
Can't recall ever seeing carpeted wall at a gallery. It's not a bad idea. The carpeted cube sounds so much more inviting and cozy than the white cube.

Avatamsaka (Flower Garland) sutra, illuminated frontispiece, Vol.78, gold pigment on mulberry paper, ca. 1350, Cleveland Museum of Art. Intended as objects of religious merit, illuminated sutras were commissioned by the royal family and aristocrats as gestures of prayer for a long line of descendants, to recover from illness and protection from foreign invasion. Requiring precious materials and painstaking labour, these dazzling objects of piety also invited criticism for being extravagant and wasteful.

-
Opening Night. Put on a red lip and your nicest black turtleneck. Time to see some art.

-
Gio Swaby, Together We Bloom, 2024. Swaby is a Bahamian visual artist based in Toronto. A highlight for me at the fair. This piece incorporates fabric and thread on canvas. Reminded me of the heroine in Han Kang's novel, The Vegetarian
