The Arts of Togetherness
Featuring: Sandee Moore (Winnipeg) & Yoshinori Niwa (Tokyo)
Curated by: Milena Placentile (Winnipeg)
July 11 – August 23, 2009
Opening reception: Saturday, July 11, 12:00 – 6:00 p.m. at Gendai Gallery (during Natsu Matsuri)
Free workshops: June 28th - July 18, various time and locations.
The Arts of Togetherness is a multifaceted exhibition that gently challenges commonly held assumptions about contemporary art as a cultural practice. Working in collaboration with her chosen artists, guest curator Placentile, offers a project that seeks to bridge differences in familiarity with contemporary art by encouraging audiences of all ages to contemplate different points of view concerning what qualifies as the expression of a community, and what is pertinent to definitions of cultural life.
The featured artists, Moore and Niwa, will transpose popular traditional and modern Japanese cultural activities such as sentō (traditional bathhouses) and kite-flying, into new contexts in order to explore notions of interpersonal exchange and community, memory and imagination, and the passage of ideas over time. Their use of new and alternative methods and materials will aim to reframe customary cultural activities, thereby underscoring transcendent characteristics and reinvigorating assumptions about the meanings of such practices.
Through the course of this exhibition, audiences will be invited to consider how traditions facilitate interpersonal communication and construct harmonious accord.
GET INVOLVED!
We are hosting various kite-building workshops in collaboration with many communities in and around Toronto. All workshops are free of charge and open to everyone.

Nonsense group photo of 111 Toronto citizens
Date: July 17, 2009
Time: 1 – 4 p.m.
Meeting place: 401 Richmond Street West (lobby)
Nonsense group photo of 111 Toronto citizens is a playful project in which the artist will gather 111 Torontonians for the sole purpose of taking a group photograph with a large format camera at a selected Toronto landmark or tourist location. Reminiscent of summer travels with family, this project is both a guerrilla intervention challenging the norms of "acceptable" behaviour on a public street corner and a hilarious group performance, documented in real time, elaborated by size and scale.
Join us to take a photo with artist Yoshinori Niwa!
