SUMMARY:Shipwreck: UKAI Projects Exhibition at Milieux
DESCRIPTION: If you found yourself shipwrecked and washed ashore\, what three things would you most wish to have with you? How would you make a new home where you beached?  \n  \nJoin us on April 11 and April 12 for the public opening of Shipwreck\, a durational work under development by UKAI Projects at Milieux Institute. This immersive and interactive experience explores the powerful act of making home amidst the ruins of potential futures\, exploring how we navigate ecological\, cultural\, and technological devastation. During this residency\, UKAI Projects will invite three Montreal-based artists (see their profiles below) to make a home among remnants brought by their team. \nMore about the project \n  \nEXPERIENCE SHIPWRECK:  \nThis is not a passive exhibition. Shipwreck demands your presence\, your interaction\, and your imagination\, inviting you to actively shape the narrative. Now it’s your turn to engage with the culmination of this 12-day residency and to step into this evolving landscape\, navigate this liminal space\, where devastation meets creative resilience. \n  \n\nJoin us on April 11 -12 to step into this strange world of devastation\, joy\, and reinhabitation.   \nFriday\, April 11\, 5 PM – 7 PM \nOpening Reception (Please RSVP to confirm your attendance). \nSaturday\, April 12:  10 AM – 4 PM \nShipwreck opened to the public \n\n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \n \nGabriel Junqueira (Fortaleza\, Brazil / 1992) is a multimedia artist who explores relations between body\, technology and materiality in media such as digital images\, sculptures and installations. \nHis recent research revolves around the relation between built spaces and nature through the creation of landscapes in 3D architectural visualization software\, commonly used in the real estate development market to simulate structures to be built. \nSeeking inspiration from corporate architecture and landscaping concepts\, the artist creates impossible locations\, where figurative elements are rearranged to the point of abstraction. \nAs an extension of his visual arts research\, since 2018 he has been dedicated to the musical project “Naves Cilíndricas”. In 2020\, he released two albums: “Imagens de Desastres Em High Resolution” on the Meia Vida label and “Névoa” via the Domina Label. \n  \nMeghan Moe Beitiks (she/they) is an artist and designer working with associations and disassociations of culture/nature/structure. They analyze perceptions of ecology though the lenses of site\, history\, emotions\, and her own body in order to produce work that analyzes relationships with the non-human. \nThey were a Fulbright Student Fellow\, a recipient of the Claire Rosen and Samuel Edes Foundation Prize for Emerging Artists\, a MacDowell Colony fellow\, and an Artist-in-Residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Their work has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada\, among other resources. They received their BA in Theater Arts from the University of California at Santa Cruz\, and their MFA in Performance Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \n  \n  \nCredit: Riley Mydansky\nEija Loponen-Stephenson‘s work predominantly concerns the relationship between human movement and urban architectural spaces. Through practice-based artistic inquiry and experimental pedagogy\, she examines how body-building interactions can reveal hidden power structures programmed into the built environment. She holds a BFA in Sculpture and Installation from the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U) and a MA in Art Education at Concordia University. \n  \n  \n  \nABOUT UKAI PROJECTS: \nUKAI Projects is a Canadian cultural organization whose mission is “culture for what’s coming”. Through artistic and cultural production\, UKAI provides publics with opportunities to inhabit massive social\, technological\, and ecological volatility and to begin to make a home in a changing world.  We seek and test out modes of cultural production that are in the right relation to the world we are making. \nOur home is a 7\,000 sq-ft abandoned office space in downtown Toronto where we host exhibitions\, residencies\, workshops\, parties\, and more. \nMuch of our work is global\, having recently created or presented work in Merida (MX)\, Geneva (CH)\, Beijing (CN)\, Dzaleka (MW)\, Cairo (EG)\, Berlin (DE)\, London (GB)\, Bristol (GB)\, Milan (IT)\, Reykjavik (IS)\, Helsinki (FI)\, Oslo (NO)\, and numerous locations across the United States and Canada. \nOur work explores algorithmic systems\, rising authoritarianism\, and climate damage through embodied and immersive experiences. We call into question the appropriateness of ossified ideologies and routines to make sense of these changes and invite audiences to undersign themselves to what happens next. \n  \n
