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

SUMMARY:Book Launch and Talk with Jeremy Stolow
DESCRIPTION:Join the Media History Research Centre on April 10th for the last event of their Montreal Media History Seminar. \nProfessor Jeremy Stolow will give a lecture about his latest book Picturing Aura: A Visual Biography (MIT Press). \nThe talk will be followed by a reception. \nThe event is free and open to all! \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \nJeremy Stolow is Professor of Communication Studies at Concordia University\, where he teaches and conducts research on religion and media\, the history of technology\, occultism and science\, and visual culture. In addition to his latest book\, Picturing Aura (MIT Press 2025)\, he is the author of Orthodox By Design (U of California Press 2010) and Deus in Machine: Religion\, Technology\, and the Things in Between (Fordham u press\, 2013). \n  \n  \n  \n  \nABOUT THE BOOK: \nPicturing Aura (MIT Press\, 2025) offers a historical\, anthropological\, and philosophical study of modern efforts to visualize that hidden radiant force encompassing the living body known as our aura. This book chronicles the rise and global spread of modern instruments and techniques of picturing aura\, from the late nineteenth century to the present day\, exploring how its images are put to work in the diverse realms of psychical research\, esotericism\, art photography\, popular culture\, and the New Age alternative medical and spiritual marketplace. These sometimes complementary\, sometimes conflicting histories – shaped by exchanges among professionals and amateurs\, scientists and occultists\, countercultural artist and entrepreneurs\, metropolitans and hinterland figures – show how the aura operates as a boundary object: something ontologically plural and somehow serviceable to the varying tasks and making art\, healing bodies\, and mapping technologies\, and images migrations\, while also reflecting on the very enterprise of picturing aura and the challenges it poses to settled assumptions about religion\, science and art. \n  \n  \n📅 April 10\, 2025 | 5:30-7 PM\n📍: Now in Speculative Life Room EV. 10.625 (was Milieux Resource Room EV 11.705)\n🔗 Please confirm your attendance here\n

SUMMARY:Caroline Monnet - Artist Talk and Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:On April 25th\, Post Image presents visual and media artist Caroline Monnet in the last installment of Moving the Landscape to Find Ground. This series is built from a shared ambition to break open lens-based practices via the interrogation of the colonial prism through which photography exists. We are inviting conversation among all communities impacted by the colonial gaze. \nAfter the talk we will have a closing reception with refreshments! \nWhen? April 25th at 4PM \nWhere? Milieux Resource Room\, Concordia University (EV. 11705) \nCaroline Monnet (Anishinaabe/French) is a multidisciplinary artist from Outaouais\, Quebec. She studied Sociology and Communication at the University of Ottawa (Canada) and the University of Granada (Spain) before pursuing a career in visual arts and film. Her work has been programmed internationally at the Whitney Biennial (NYC)\, Toronto Biennale of Art\, KØS museum (Copenhagen)\, Museum of Contemporary Art (Montréal)\, the National Art Gallery (Ottawa). Solo exhibitions include Montreal Museum of Fine Arts\, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt\, Arsenal Contemporary (NYC) and Centre d’art international de Vassivière (France). Her films have been programmed at film festivals such as TIFF\, Sundance\, Aesthetica (UK)\, Palm Springs and Cannes. In 2016\, she was selected for the Cinéfondation residency in Paris. Her work is included in numerous collections in North America as well as the permanent UNESCO collection in Paris.  Monnet is recipient of the 2020 Pierre-Ayot award\, the 2020 Sobey Art Award\, the Merata Mita Fellowship\, and the REVEAL Indigenous Art Awards. She is based in Montreal and represented by Blouin-Division Gallery. \nMonnet uses visual and media arts to demonstrate a keen interest in communicating complex ideas around Indigenous identity and bicultural living through the examination of cultural histories. Her work grapples with colonialism’s impact\, updating outdated systems with indigenous methodologies. Monnet has made a signature for working with industrial materials\, combining the vocabulary of popular and traditional visual-cultures with the tropes of modernist abstraction to create unique hybrid forms. Monnet is always in the stage of experimentation and invention\, both for herself and for the work. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: "Driving in Palestine" by Rehab Nazzal
DESCRIPTION:Post Image is announcing a Book Launch for “Driving in Palestine” by Rehab Nazzal. This in-person event will take place on April 20th at 4pm at the Milieux Resource Room\, Concordia University (EV 11.725). The event will include live Arabic music\, refreshments\, and copies of the book for sale.Driving in Palestine is a research-creation project by acclaimed artist Rehab Nazzal\, who explores the visible indices of the politics of mobility that she encountered firsthand while traversing the occupied West Bank between 2010 and 2020. This photography book consists of 160 black and white photographs\, hand-drawn maps and critical essays in Arabic and English by Palestinian and Canadian scholars and artists. \nThe photographs were all captured from moving vehicles on the roads of the West Bank. They focus on Israel’s architecture of movement restrictions and surveillance structures that proliferate in the West Bank\, including the Apartheid Wall\, segregation walls surrounding illegal colonies\, gates\, fences\, watchtowers\, roadblocks and military checkpoints among other obstacles to freedom of movement. \nRehab Nazzal is a Palestinian-born multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her work deals with the effects of settler-colonial violence on the bodies and minds of colonized peoples\, on the land and on other non-human life. Nazzal’s video\, photography and sound works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally. Dr. Nazzal was an assistant professor at Dar Al-Kalima University in Bethlehem and has taught at Simon Fraser University\, Western University and Ottawa School of Art. She is the recipient of several awards\, including the Social Justice Award from Toronto Metropolitan University and the Edmund and Isobel Ryan Visual Arts Award in Photography from the University of Ottawa. \n

SUMMARY:In The Middle\, a Chimera Vernissage
DESCRIPTION:Please join on on THURSDAY\, MAY 5TH\, at 6:00 PM EST at Eastern Bloc for the official opening party for In the Middle\, a Chimera\, as well as the opening for the exhibition element at Eastern Bloc. No reservation is required; mask wearing will be mandatory\, and social distancing will be maintained during the event.The exhibition will be open at Eastern Bloc up until and including May 18th from Tuesday to Saturday\, 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\nIn the Middle\, a Chimera considers how new\, breakthrough technology developed under the veil of capitalism inevitably bends to its whirling\, maelstrom pull (sometimes despite more communitarian originary intentions): the goal of this exhibition/project is to envision and develop community-oriented futures where this pull is redirected towards mutually beneficial relationships\, and ways in which we might undermine or re-conceptualize these technologies to not only nurture ourselves but our surrounding ecosystems and environments.  \n\n\n\nFEATURED ARTISTS \n\n\n\njacqueline beaumont | post-binary genetic sequencesjacqueline beaumont is a bio-material architect\, artist and researcher. Her research weaves together Queer Ecology\, Artificial Reproductive technologies\, Transgender studies and Material engineering. She has been exhibited\, lectured and recognized internationally including a gold medal from IGEM (MIT 2019)\, Concordia university undergraduate fellowship(2020)\, presented work at MUTEK (2021)\, Culture² (2021)\, Center Pompidou (behavioral matter 2019)\, and FoFa Gallery (2020). She graduated with a BFA in Fibers and Material practices at Concordia University. Currently she works as a research affiliate of the Milieux institute under Dr.Alice Jarry (Concordia University research chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality) as well as the Biointerface lab at Mcgill. \n\n\n\nDiyar Mayil | BroomDiyar Mayil is an interdisciplinary artist working in sculpture\, installation and performance. Her work explores the public life of marginalized bodies. Comfort\, discomfort\, adaptation\, and the acceptance of different bodies in both public and private are recurring subjects in her practice. Her work has recently been shown at La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse\, Printemps numérique and the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery. Upcoming commitments include residency at the Banff Center in Alberta and NARS Foundation in NYC. She holds a BFA from Concordia University\, where she has recently completed her MFA. Originally from Istanbul\, she now lives and works in Montreal. \n\n\n\nOjo Agi | There Is Space For You Here \n\n\n\n“There is space for you here” is a series of drawings exploring self-care and empowerment. The common feminist response to sexist and racist representation is to look back\, reclaiming the gaze as a site of resistance. But what if\, instead\, we opted to look away\, making space for ourselves to rest\, recover and restore?In “Sisters of the Yam: Black Women and Self-Recovery”\, feminist writer bell hooks insists that Black people “are so well socialized to push ourselves past healthy boundaries that we often do not know how to set protective boundaries that would eliminate certain forms of stress in our lives… Since society rewards us most\, indicates that we are valuable\, when we are willing to push ourselves to the limit and beyond\, we need a life-affirming practice\, a counter-system of valuation in order to resist this agenda.”While self-care practices are diverse and suited to each individual’s needs\, they all begin with setting boundaries and disengaging from the things that we no longer want. Inspired by the practice of refusal\, these drawings suggest that making space for ourselves begins with saying no. \n\n\n\nTimothy Thomasson | I’m Feeling Lucky \n\n\n\nMy work primarily is created with computer animation\, and utilizes real-time technologies to create continually generative environments and systems. I am questioning the ways moving images are produced and consumed within both historic and contemporary contexts\, particularly examining the affects computer generated images have on society\, culture\, and perception. \n\n\n\nMark Igloliorte | Makpilitak UKalagalâk (Tile Talk) \n\n\n\nMark Igloliorte (Inuk\, Nunatsiavut) is an artist\, essayist and educator. He is an associate professor of Frameworks and Interventions in Indigenous Art Practices\, Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University. As a scholar and artist his work investigates relating to indigenous futures through a grounding in the embodied practices and language. His use of the kayak\, kamutik (Inuit sled) and skateboard speak to relating to the land how it is traversed and with specific ties to a pre-colional past and an indigenized future. Igloliorte’s artistic work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across Canada as well as internationally. Including including New Zealand and The Netherlands. Igloliorte has a new Immersive Video Production Project as one of 6 mid-career Indigenous exploring the power of 360-degree video and augmented reality for digital storytelling which will be featured in an eight meter high Lavuu as the Nordic Pavilion in the 59th Venice Biennale contemporary art international exhibition between April and November 2022. \n\n\n\nPhilippe Vandal | saturation by accumulation \n\n\n\nAt the intersection of technological\, ecological\, and artistic preoccupations\, Philippe’s work bridges bio-inspired critical design\, environmental chemistry\, and site-specific tangible media interventions. He has been interested in prototyping and exploring small-scale devices as both scientific tools and sensitive frameworks for intervening\, visualizing\, remediating\, and thinking with different local sites impacted by the mismanagement of landfill and construction waste\, snow removal\, and industrial leachates. Addressing issues of socio-environmental justice\, his work seeks to align with critical landscape studies\, waste and discard studies\, and environmental realism to examine the practical\, sociocultural and political capabilities and limits of remediation framework to engage with at-risk materials\, sites\, and communities. Philippe’s work has been presented at the International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA2020: What is Sentience?)\, VAV Gallery\, Art Mûr\, and collaborative work at Centre Pompidou\, Ars Electronica\, les Rencontres Hexagram\, Ada X\, and Mutek. Philippe is currently completing a BFA Major in Intermedia Cyber Arts.
