June 2017 – July 2017

We are proud to welcome found, our inaugural Parkdale Artist Residency exhibit by jes sachse. Through found, jes explores questions of what it means to contribute care into neighbourhood as a second generation settler immigrant, along with themes of language translation, signage, disability, and home. Check out found in the gallery from June 16 to July 31, and come out to our exhibit launch event at the studio on Friday, June 23 at The Public for a special night with jes sachse in dialogue with their artist mentor Francisco-Fernando Granados.

jes sachse, 2017.

_Take the TTC blue seat sideways
spot, back and forth,
into the mouth of no neighbourhoods,
stand in the big
large very big
large, and then come back home to familiar with tired
. Both Torontos. The great divide of in and out.
Is Toronto home? Is art home?_

found is a mediation of what it means to Be Here and not be here.

A street view of a building corner with windows displaying two large signs. The left sign is blue with white text saying "I'M HERE 4 U," and the right sign is green with white text saying "dort bist du." The building's exterior appears slightly worn.

How do you want to change the world and how can we help?
