SErgio Suárez | Rituals of persistence
Toronto | 13 September – 1 November 2025

Rituals of persistence displays Suárez ability in depicting time—the long, deep stretches of it—through indelible gestures on wood and the immediate sweep of a brush. For, at their heart, these are works that demonstrate not only how the figurative may be harnessed to pursue ideas about material and spiritual ambiguity, but the possibilities of visual speculation on entanglement.

Maya Fuhr | idols of absence
Toronto | 13 September – 1 November 2025

In Idols of Absence, Los Angeles–based artist Maya Fuhr presents photographs and cutouts of silhouettes: life-size portraits, flattened images, and latex imprints that evoke the presence of celebrity. Known for her fashion and editorial work with public figures, Fuhr now turns the camera on the culture that produces them.

what we carry | Group Exhibition
Toronto | 12 July – 6 September 2025

What We Carry explores how identity is not fixed but continually shaped — stitched together from memory, inheritance, and the tactile presence of materials. Through abstraction, layering, surface, and spatial composition, each work becomes a site where identity is constructed not as a singular truth, but as a process formed through encounter, gesture, repetition, and time.

Ousmane Bâ, Surabhi Ghosh, Alexa Kumiko Hatanaka, Baseera Khan, and Luciano Maia.

Michael Dumontier & Neil Farber | Sincerity Blanket
Montreal | 29 May – 19 July 2025

Dumontier and Farber’s matches-made-in-friendship have an unmistakable rhythm to them: a pair, a duo, a one-two-punch. Apart, each image and sentence would elicit a certain response, but together they become something more. In the context of an exhibition, deployed all throughout the gallery space, they tell yet another story.

Muriel Ahmarani Jaouich | From Lore to foresight
Toronto | 24 May – 5 July 2025

Is painting a truly solitary act? From Lore to Foresight seems to imply that even in solitude, the artist is channeling a collective heritage, especially when it is one of trauma unaddressed. For the deafening silence of unacknowledged histories and the vanished voices of the Armenian genocide are a veritable presence in every one of Muriel Ahmarani Jaouich’s works. Painting becomes a work of visual archeology, a means of preserving living memory.

Swapnaa Tamhane | Cabinet
Toronto | 24 May – 5 July 2025

Pattern, like the internal rhyme of verse or examples of symmetrical balance found in nature, provides an occasion for the expression of entanglements. In the suite of works presented in Cabinet, Swapnaa Tamhane approaches the structure of pattern from a variety of angles: gestures that emerge as recognizable over the course of time; formational patterns that are found in weaving; impressions of architectural plans passed back and forth between two and three dimensionality.

Malik Mckoy | mmmmwah!
Montréal | 23 April – 24 May 2025

Who are the figures that populate this dreamscape, their heads like double scoops of ice cream, their mitten-like paws gripping what might be a cell phone, a microphone, a martini glass, an ass? Seen across successive paintings, these characters form the cast of a cartoon show rendered in hazy neon, like the ones that used to air on cable after dark. Perhaps these figures go dancing, grab a drink, or take a nice hot bath.

Echo Without Origin | Group exhibition Toronto | 21 March – May 10 2025

The group exhibition Echo Without Origin explores the idea of “floating signifiers”, a semiotic and linguistic term used to describe words, symbols, images, and mark-making as fundamentally untethered and therefore able to shift in their meaning. Here, we are presented with multiple interpretations of floating signifiers.

Luke Painter & Ron Siu, Alberto Porro, Tammie Rubin, Mia Sandhu, Winnie Truong, Tuan Vu and Balint Zsako.

Summoning the Ineffable | Group exhibition
Montréal | 27 February – 12 April 2025

In Summoning the Ineffable, we are presented with a polyphonic expression of the stories that materials contain. All mediums are perpetually in relation to histories of production, consumption, extraction, and creation. Here, the artists explore the affective dimensions of materials that have been passed through hands and across generations, a reminder that small gestures accumulate into expansive possibility. 

Braxton Garneau, Sukaina Kubba, Marigold Santos, Dominique Sirois, Sergio Suárez and Swapnaa Tamhane.

Howie Tsui | A click track for pugilists Toronto | 11 January – 15 March 2025

This exhibition presents a meticulously curated selection of works that span the breath of Tsui’s artistic practice, offering an in-depth exploration of their evolving journey from 2012 to 2024. This comprehensive assembly highlights the nuanced developments of themes, techniques, and conceptual frameworks that have defined Tsui’s oeuvre over more than a decade. 

Camille Jodoin-Eng & Katherine Melançon | Sun Shrine
Montréal | 15 January – 22 February 2025

Sun Shrine and Monument au soleil materially propose ways to cultivate relationships with our surroundings and the ecosystems that support our well-being. Both exhibitions underscore concerns about what kind of worldmaking is possible amid turmoil, fostering greater care through daily sustainable gestures, observing, documenting, and supporting knowledge transmission.
