SUMMARY:words\, wit\, wisdom and wool
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates:  \n\n\nFriday\, December 7\, 2012 to Monday\, January 21\, 2013\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nFriday\, December 7\,2012\n\n\n\n\na series of textile pieces that take words of wit and words of wisdom – all from a gay male perspective – and translates them into visual documents.\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\nWords\, Wit\, Wisdom and Wool is a series of textile pieces that take words of wit and words of wisdom – all from a gay male perspective – and translates them into visual documents. Gould states\, “I have been rather catholic in my choice of sources\, from the internet – Squirt.Org (enough said!) to poetry and prose – Walt Whitman and Thomas Glave – song lyrics and personal musings from my 90 year old mother. Some of the texts are bawdy\, some loving and some perhaps slightly out there\, but they all represent a grab bag of sentences and paragraphs that I have found inspiring and interesting and funny enough to lose blood over!” \nPress Release \n\n\n\n\nBiographies:\n\n\nMatt Gould was born and raised on the prairies\, lived in Toronto\, France\, Vancouver and on-board cruise ships plying the seas of Alaska\, the Caribbean and New York to Bermuda. His work is found in public\, corporate and private collections in Canada\, the US and Europe. Gould has worked as an industrial\, residential and commercial designer\, a playwright\, a singer and a theatre director\, all of which feed his rapacious appetite for self-expression. He currently lives in Red Deer Alberta with his partner\, where he walks the fine line between the solitary pursuit of a visual artist and the wildly communal existence of an Artistic Director for a theatre company.

SUMMARY:Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \n\nFriday\, October 26\, 2012 to Monday\, December 3\, 2012\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nFriday\, October 26\, 7:30-10 pm\n\n\n\n\nWorks concerned with classification and normalization of the body\, and of beauty in unexpected places.\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\n‘Libraries‘ is built from three installation artworks: ‘Library of Depth and Gender‘\, ‘Library of a Traveling Dandy‘\, and ‘Delineate‘. Each of these works is concerned with classification and normalization of the body\, and of beauty in unexpected places. The work functions as an axis where knowledge\, nature\, and gender intersect to investigate how we classify and order the world around us\, what the process of selection reveals\, and questions who makes those decisions. \nIn ‘Library of Depth and Gender‘\, McPhee creates a library containing natural history books\, Foucault and queer theory\, as well as monster movies\, Darwin-jellyfish footstools and miscellany of her drag persona Cosimo. ‘Library of a Traveling Dandy‘ posits an early 1900s science writer dandy who travels across North America with nothing but books and a wardrobe. The 65 drawings of cephalopods (squid\, octopus\, nautilus) of ‘Delineation‘ function as an illustration of an Other body\, existing in a realm beyond our access. \nAdmission to the Archives Gallery is free. \nFully accessible. \n\n\n\n\nBiographies:\n\n\nNancy Anne McPhee is a textile installation artist originally from Alberta and now based in Montréal\, Québec. McPhee works with themes of knowledge\, gender and biological bodies\, in large-scale drawings\, silk trapunto quilt installations and theatrical performances as a collective member of the Drag King troupe Dukes of Drag. She has shown across Canada in commercial galleries\, artist run centres and public theatres\, recently including a solo exhibition at Galerie FOFA\, Montréal\, and as a performer in Dukes Up! at the historic Café Cleopatra Drag Bar in Montréal. \nPress Release: http://embracedisruption.com/2012/10/15/client-news-libraries-exhibit-merges-monster-movies-with-a-drag-persona/

SUMMARY:Public Sins / Private Desires: Tracing Lesbian Lives in the Archives\, 1950 - 1980
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \nFriday\, June 22\, 2012 to Monday\, August 6\, 2012\nReception date & time:\nFriday\, June 22\, 7:00pm\n\n\nDescription: \nPublic Sins/Private Desires\, celebrates the 20th anniversary of Lynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman’s 1992 documentary\, Forbidden Love: Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Livesand examines the contradictions\, tensions and victories in the daily lives of lesbians during the period from 1950 to 1980. The culmination of several activities seeking the participation of older lesbians in Toronto\, the exhibition includes the presentation of the film Forbidden Love and display of related artifacts. Lesbian pulp fiction of the period is used to provoke conversation about the apparently simple dichotomies of femme/butch identities. The installation seeks to document and trouble the records of public and private lives of lesbians in the 1950s\, 60s and 70s – and their forbidden loves. Thematic enquiries about love – play – work surface in interviews and prompt questions about degrees of visibility in daily lives. Often the last place to be ‘out’\, the work environment rarely supported anything other than a strict heterosexuality. In querying the complexity of lived experience that could shift from hidden to out within minutes\, the exhibition seeks to draw attention to the women’s voices that linger in the archives. Audio recordings allow the anonymous and unknown to acquire a certain presence – stories of trauma\, relief and laughter inhabit the exhibition\, bringing life to the bits and pieces of ephemera that serve to document these lives.\n\n\nCurated by Karen Stanworth\, with the assistance of curatorial intern\, Talia Linz\, the exhibition is produced with the support of the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council\, and supporting partner\, Special Collections\, York University. Karen also receive a Minor Research grant from the Faculty of Fine Arts\, York University. \nSee also: The lesbian pulp fiction virtual exhibition drawn from the Dworin Collection at Special Collections\, York University \n\n\nBiographies:\n\n\nLynne Fernie and Aerlyn Weissman are interdisciplinary artists and award-winning filmmakers\, who co-directed the Genie and internationally award-winning documentaries Forbidden Love: Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives (1992) and Fiction and Other Truths: a Film about Jane Rule (1995). \nKaren Stanworth\, the curator\, is an historian of visual culture at York University and has published on visual culture and feminist cultural history. \nTalia Linz\, co-curator\,and curatorial intern has just completed a collaborative Masters in Curating and Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is produced with the support of the Toronto Arts Council\, and with supporting partners\, Special Collections\, York University.

SUMMARY:Looking Forward/Looking Back:25 Lives 14 years later
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \n\nFriday\, May 11\, 2012 to Monday\, June 11\, 2012\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nFriday\, May 11\, 7.30 PM\n\n\nDescription: \nA retrospective with a twist\, Looking Back / Looking Forward looks back to the first exhibition of The ArQuives national portrait collection (npc) in 1998\, on the 25th anniversary of the founding of the cLGA.  kd lang\, Richard Fung\, Gloria Eshkibok\, Svend Robinson\, Douglas Stewart and Jane Rule were among the first 25 men and women whose portraits were commissioned for inclusion in the npc. Focusing on the first 25 inductees to the npc\, we now ask: where are they today\, 14 years later? And we ask of the npc: how can this portrait collection continue to contribute to queer identity formation? How do practices of commemoration function to create knowledge? What responsibility should we take in authorizing a history in portraiture?\n\n\nThe exhibition features recent images\, stories\, and memories of and about the sitters. some of the original inductees will be present at the opening\, as well as one of the original co-curators\, Bruce Jones.\n\nThe exhibition is sponsored in part through anonymous donations\, including support for the curatorial internship held by co-curator\, Jessica Parker.

SUMMARY:Lez Con: An exhibition by Onya Hogan-Finlay
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \n\nFriday\, January 20\, 2012 to Tuesday\, April 10\, 2012\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nFriday\, January 20. 7.30 PM\n\n\n\n\nWhere is the lesbian content? Artist\, Onya Hogan-Finlay\, presents an explorative and humorous exhibition that unearths lesbian representation in The ArQuives.\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\nWhere is the lesbian content? Artist\, Onya Hogan-Finlay\, presents an explorative and humorous exhibition that unearths lesbian representation in The ArQuives. Groupings of lesbian books\, periodicals\, journals\, photos\, buttons\, paintings from The ArQuives National Portrait Collection and ephemera appear along side Onya’s limited edition artist multiples\, screen prints\, photo collages\, ink drawings and videos. \nWhile Canadian Content (Can Con) regulations shape the fabric of Canada culture\, Lez Con exposes the often overlooked indexical record of the political\, aesthetic and sex lives of lesbians. Much like the museum\, LGBTQ archives often reproduce institutional sites of hegemonic masculinity that enjoy the same pervasive conditions of white male privilege that underpin Western historical canons. The works in Lez Con represent a platform for lesbians and the artist-curator to image and represent their own eroticisms\, lifestyles\, desires\, and fantasies through a lesbian-to-lesbian gaze which actively challenges the potential misogynist and conventional heteronormative male consumption of women’s bodies. \nA display of the late artist\, activist and promoter\, Will Munro’s series Lezbro is also included in the exhibition. A selection from Munro’s recent donation to The ArQuives will be on view\, including his vinyl records\, posters and a limited edition hand stitched plaid lezbro jacket\, all of which asserts his unwavering support of lesbian culture in a gender segregated LGBTQ community that is too often invisible in gay communities. This vitrine emerges alongside and in relationship to the celebration of Munro’s prolific art practice and relentless investment in the creation of queer spaces in Toronto at the Art Gallery of York University (AGYU) in the WILL MUNRO: HISTORY\, GLAMOUR\, MAGIC and its extensive off-site programming 11 January – 11 March 2012. \nOn Dec. 10\, 2011\, Onya orchestrated a staged tableau vivant at The ArQuives on Dec. 10. Friends of The ArQuives posed the question: “where’s the lesbian content?” A poster featuring the image was available to the participants and to those who attended the opening on Jan 20\, 2012. \nLez Con appears as a satellite exhibition in conjunction with Coming After\, an international group exhibition on queer time\, curated by Jon Davies at The Power Plant\, (10 December\, 2011 – 4 March\, 2012). \n235 Queens Quay West Harbourfront Centre\, Toronto\, ON \nDirectly responding to The ArQuives’s mission to recover and preserve our histories and give public access to archival materials by and about LGBTQ people\, Lez Con offers a glimpse into a relatively under exposed genres and esthetics of lesbian culture and aims to inspire more lesbians to donate their own records\, collections\, stories and papers to The ArQuives. \n\n\n\n\nBiographies:\n\n\nOnya Hogan-Finlay’s projects activate\, re-present and re-imagine historical narratives\, feminist iconographies and expressions of gender through multi-disciplinary installations\, drawing\, social and curatorial interventions. Based in Los Angeles\, Onya Hogan-Finlay is a Canadian born interdisciplinary artist who has exhibited throughout North America. She earned her BFA at Concordia University and her MFA at the University of Southern California. Hogan-Finlay co-founded the projet MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project\, an exhibition of artist books\, zines\, and independent publications that toured North America in a retrofitted Airstream trailer. Recent collaborations include Ulrike M?ller’s Herstory Inventory\, Lesbians on Ecstasy\, The Third Leg collective and others. Onya’s drawings have appeared in zines and publications including trans-feminist journal LTTR\, Randy\, C Magazine\, Documenta Magazine No.\, 2 2007 LIFE! and in The New Museum’s The Younger Than Jesus Artist Directory. Onya was a recent panelist for Pacific Standard Time’s Doin’ It in Public Feminism and Art at the Woman’s Building. Her MFA thesis work\, My Taste in Men\, is the subject of Jack/Judith Halberstam’s essay in Cruising the Archives: Queer Art and Culture in Los Angeles\, 1945-1980\, published by ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives in Los Angeles\, 2011.

SUMMARY:Switch
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \n\nThursday\, January 13\, 2011 to Thursday\, February 24\, 2011\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nThursday\, January 13 7:30pm-10pm\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\nA Solo Exhibition by JJ Levine \nSwitch is a series of large-scale photo diptychs that present pairs of seemingly different “heterosexual couples” in a portrait studio setting. Upon close inspection\, the viewer will recognize that these couples are comprised not of four models\, but of two\, each portraying a man in one image and a woman in the next. This clever parody of prom-style photographs is intended to challenge the foundations of gender through masquerade and drag. The identified gender of each model is never disclosed. \nOpening Reception for Switch \nThank you to all those who attended the Opening Reception for Switch last Thurday. \nWe had an overwhelming turn out for the launch of our first exhibition to come out of the Call for Exhibitions which is a very good start to our year of exhibitions!

SUMMARY:Vintage Blue for Nuit Blanche
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit dates: \n\nSaturday\, October 2\, 2010\n\n\n\nReception date & time: \n\nSaturday\, October 2\, 2010\n\n\n\nDescription: \n\n\nThe night has always been a time for those outside the mainstream to communicate themselves more freely. After all\, it was by the cover of night that provided many queers the opportunity to mingle\, explore their sexuality and reveal their truest selves. For Nuit Blanche\, the Archives has dug into its vintage collection of moving pictures to create an exhibition that examines what happens behind closed doors through a historical context.  As you engage with the work you becomes the voyeur into The ArQuives’s house\, taking pleasure in the desires and fantasies of others.  Consider the range of representations and effects of erotic imagery\, its power as a representational form and how it has influenced our sexual desires\, identities and behaviours. \nCome to “Vintage Bleu for Nuit Blanche” Saturday\, October 2 from 7:00pm to midnight. Come see an outdoor projection at the Archives in celebration of Nuit Blanche! We’ll be sharing works from our extensive moving image collection transforming our beautiful home.
