F.A.G.’s second exhibition features a new body of work by Alison S. M. Kobayashi:
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Throughout 2011 I have been collecting objects in Toronto’s west end that contain traces of the previous owner; a notebook with only a few pages filled in or photo albums that were not thoroughly scanned before being sent to the donation bin. Although these objects provide glimpses into the previous owners\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 lives, there is still much more to be imagined. I am taking this opportunity at F.A.G. to experiment with these objects and contextualize the world where they came from.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/td>\n

FAG does not depend on formal funding sources nor will it ever be tied to one government or corporate controlling purse string. Instead, FAG has created a web of matronage whereby people contribute to a pool of resources insuring that artists will always be paid for exhibiting their work.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Miss issauga: Alison S. M. Kobayashi<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
+ Jessica Vallentin<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
The video works From Alex to Alex and Dan Carter, by emerging Mississauga-born artist Alison S.M. Kobayashi, and the work Smithissauga by Mississauga-based artist Jessica Vallentin, explore the suburban experience from unexpected and experimental perspectives. Using found objects, in the case of Kobayashi, and setting up experimental scenarios, in the case of Vallentin, the artists use narrative and performance to consider how identity \u00e2\u20ac\u201cin particular, female identify \u00e2\u20ac\u201c can be shaped by the convention, expectation, and setting. Kobayashi and Vallentin reframe tired, black and white depictions of suburbia as either alienating or idealistic, and instead present the suburbs as a space for self-exploration and contemplation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
Celebrity is a complex form of idolatry; icons are simultaneously worshiped and reviled. The current age of uncensored communication has made achieving notoriety possible through a variety of channels. Conversely, the shelf-life of the everyday icon is diminishing more quickly than ever before. In this way, celebrity is like still life. The photographs, films, online videos and tabloid articles that thrust one into the public eye are akin to the Dutch vanitas; they are both snapshots of the glorious present and a reminder of the fleeting nature of prominence in our society.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Celebrity Still Life closely examines the pop idol phenomenon within a multifarious, global context. The works discuss the ephemerality of celebrity culture and the influence of public perception on the lives of our heroes and heroines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That’s So Gay: The New Queer – Second Annual Pride Exhibition<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
For the second installment of Gladstone’s annual Pride Show, That’s So Gay, curator Sholem Krishtalka continues to poke and prod at what the word “queer” means now, and what it’s evolving to mean. Pride shows tend to focus on the artist’s sexual identity; but queer art isn’t, and shouldn’t necessarily be a product of whom you take to bed.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The artists involved in this show are not necessarily gay (some of them are what society at large would deem heterosexual couples). But they are all certainly queer. Pride shows tend to focus on the sexuality of the artists but what about the sexuality of the work? For The New Queer, Krishtalka has chosen queer work. These artists’ practices challenge heteronormative modes of art-making: the polymorphously perverse manifestos of the FASTW\u00c3\u0153RMS, here in collaboration with Cecilia Berkovic; the orgiastic collaborations of Team Macho; the phantasmatic otherworldly universes of Shary Boyle; the bombastic psychedelia of Michael Comeau; the psycho-sexual narratives of Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby; the puckish multiple-identity drag of Alison S. M. Kobayashi.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Queer isn’t just a way of effing — it’s a way of being.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
