LISA FOLKERSON - 9 NOTES FROM MY BED

Lisa Folkerson is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist working in video, audio and printed matter. Exploring personal myth and larger social and cultural conventions, Folkerson often uses her body as a site for conversations about the absurdity of cultural systems. She uses an anthropological lens to look at symbols, myths, and construction of the Young-Girl. Simultaneously identifying as such and upset by the structures of violence that feed Young-Girls to late-capitalism, Folkerson makes work that speaks of adolescent girlishness, art, institutional  critique, and value. She diaristically explores relationships and politics of identities, banalities, and rituals with romance, hyperbole and humour. She holds a BFA in Intermedia from NSCAD University. She has exhibited in Canada and the United States and has participated in the Roundtable Residency at the Dragon Academy as well as an upcoming residency at the Drake 150 in Toronto. She has published in Crit magazine, and screened her work at XPACE Offsite in Toronto, ON, CKDU Radio in Halifax, NS; as well as curated shows at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto, ON, and at Eyelevel Gallery in Halifax, NS.

Jeremy Pavka & Karly Mortimer - Bale Dog

Born twenty-four hours after the passing of Andy Warhol and growing to a boastful 6'4'' Jeremy Pavka creates laborious renditions of his own critiques of the everyday across multiple disciplines. Currently practicing in Calgary Alberta Jeremy can usually be found at the Bakery Studio Collective (which he co-runs) or yelling socialist propaganda at schoolchildren. His fondest memory was his mother's teary eyes as she looked at his grad piece from the Alberta College of Art and Design. Unfortunately he later discovered the tears were not caused by the work itself, but the cost of his undergraduate studies.

Karly Mortimer has BA (Psychology) and BFA (Drawing), studying at the Alberta College of Art & Design, the University of Calgary, the New York Studio Residency Program, Duncan of Jordanstone in Scotland. She spent most of her time growing up competing as an equestrian and every night she dreams about fighting for the future of the world in cosmic battles.

Rosalie Maheux - Please God

Born in Matane, Québec, Canada Lives and works in Toronto, Canada My works are made with recognizable symbols, images and icons that I alter and hybridize in order for new meanings to emerge. My artistic focus is the exploration of death and the social conventions associated with it; the consideration of the sacred and the profane and a special emphasis on human sexuality. I treat these themes by confronting the diametric oppositions of, death/life, sacred/profane, beautiful/grotesque and pleasure/pain.
