Join us in celebrating Gallery 44's late fall exhibitions opening in all four galleries!
In the Main Gallery, Exiting the Castle extends Hannah Doucet’s ongoing project exploring illness, fantasy and wish fulfillment through the lens of her own experience receiving a wish trip to Disney World as a child, following two years of treatment for Lymphoma. In this iteration, Doucet focuses on wishmaking as brand identity, exploring the many ways corporate visual languages co-opt the universal—and potentially radical—gesture of making a wish.
In the Vitrines, zigzag explores everyday life's content and examines how time is described and annotated, featuring the work of Rachel Beamer. Photographs, with elements of self-portraiture and allusions to film, literature and the seasons, work in playful and intentional dialogue with texts selected from years of agendas, journals and correspondence. In their confluence—and as one does with memory—experience the idea of moving through time at different speeds and directions.
In the Members' Gallery, Crosstown presents a mosaic of Eglinton Ave, shot over several months, depicting the avenue's state of change. Artist Arman Bahreini traversed the many neighbourhoods along Eglinton Ave between Kennedy Rd and Weston Rd.
