The title of Sarindar Dhaliwal’s solo exhibition identifies one very specific location – Southall, the suburban district of London, England, to which her family immigrated in the 1950s – and an indeterminate number of unnamed ones – the “other places.” These undisclosed sites likely include India, or more precisely, the Punjab, where the artist was born, and Canada, where, as a teenager, she moved with her family. Dhaliwal’s work, produced over the course of a career that has spanned more than three decades, also typically spans, to some extent or other, the three countries that she has called home. While Dhaliwal has employed many mediums in her œuvre, amongst them painting, photography, installation, printmaking and video, her work is unified in its consideration of identity, migration and Diaspora, and by its use of narrative strategies and autobiographical content. Ultimately these stories take her – and us – far away from that time and place in Southall, to the many other places, real and imagined, that ultimately determine who we are. Continue reading →

Cylla von Tiedemann : What Dances in Between

January 10, 2013 – February 9, 2013
Reception: January 10, 2013, 6-8 PM

Cylla von Tiedemann, international photographer of the performing arts, not only witnesses but captures fleeting moments in time and space, those interstices of movement and drama, where revelation lies. The exhibit highlights this encounter in the artist's dance photography, which includes new work, black and white archival silver prints, and portraits of dancers from The School of Toronto Dance Theatre, the organization chosen to receive a portion of sale proceeds.
