....Echo Without Origin | 21 MAR – 10 MAY, 2025
Artists: Luke Painter & Ron Siu, Alberto Porro, Tammie Rubin, Mia Sandhu, Winnie Truong, Tuan Vu, Balint Zsako
If one does not hear the words that produce an echo, does that echo still belong to its namesake? Does the world exist beyond a closed eye? How can one make sense of concepts and indicators that exist beyond perception, and therefore exceed a single meaning? 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.

....Malik Mckoy | mmmmwah! | Apr 23 – may 24, 2025
Opening reception: Wednesday, April 23 5 to 8pm.
If abstraction is a tool that allows us to see the world from new perspectives, Malik McKoy’s figures offer a new way of being by dissolving the boundary between bodies, between self and other, human and animal, performer and stage, into a collection of candy-coloured shapes and lines.
..Malik mckoy | mmmmwah! | 23 AVR – 24 mai 2025
Vernissage: Mercredi, le 23 avril de 17 à 20 heures.
Si l’abstraction est un outil qui nous permet de voir le monde sous de nouvelles perspectives, les figures de Malik McKoy proposent, quant à elles, une nouvelle façon d’être. Elles dissolvent les frontières entre les corps, entre le soi et l’autre, entre l’humain et l’animal, entre l’interprète et la scène, dans un ensemble de formes et de lignes couleur bonbon.
