An "Exquisite Corpse": Poetry and Chance in Surrealist Drawings
October 26, 2013 – April 13, 2014.
Esther and Arthur Gelber Treasury.
The focus of this installation is a rare cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse) drawing, a remarkable new AGO acquisition made collaboratively by several major Surrealist artists. The creation of cadavre exquis drawings began in the 1920s as a parlour game. One artist made marks on a piece of paper, covered that section, and then passed the paper to the next person. As the paper travelled around the room, multiple artists made additions. The Surrealists were astounded by the powerful results of this activity, which reinforced their belief in "automatism," the idea that works of art could be produced as expressions of the subconscious, the irrational and dreams. Many artists incorporated automatist approaches into their artistic practices.

Dressing for Downton: Costumes from Downton Abbey
The City of Toronto's Spadina Museum, in partnership with VisionTV/ZoomerMedia, proudly present the Canadian premiere of Dressing for Downton: Costumes from Downton Abbey, March 11 to April 13, 2014.
The exhibition features costumes and photographs from the series, Downton- themed tours and teas. The tour takes visitors through the museum's family and servants' spaces and links the characters and events from the TV show to real Toronto history.
Twenty authentic Downton Abbey costumes from Seasons 1 to 3 have been borrowed from Cosprop, Ltd., the London-based costume house that designs and creates the beautiful clothing worn by the cast of the television show. Nine of the costumes have accompanying hats, from Lady Sybil's nurse's scarf, to Lady Cora's wide-brimmed picture hat, to Lady Mary's cloche worn with her pregnancy suit. The costumes are all historically accurate, some made entirely of new textiles, and others using a mix of new and vintage fabrics.
Two ticket options are available: Exhibit and Tour; or Exhibit, Tea and Tour. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, and is closed Mondays. Tickets for this exhibition are available for purchase online at www.spadinamuseum.streamintickets.com

Form, Colour, Line
Form, colour and line are three of the most basic elements of a work of art that can be perceived by the senses, but they also offer a rich ground for breaking boundaries and for artists to explore new ideas by departing from convention. Natasha Gouveia and Laura Marotta make bold statements about colour, most notably in their critique of it, and through their process showcase at once intellectual and playful approaches to the constraints of line and form. Where noted abstract painter Ellsworth Kelly envisioned his seminal monograph Line Form Colour as an "an alphabet of plastic pictorial elements," Form, Colour, Line picks up this notion and carries it forward, into three dimensions and away from traditionally "masculine" forms of minimalism.

Mary Pratt
Mary Pratt has become one of Canada's most distinguished artists, celebrated for her work with familiar subject matter and domestic still lifes. The deceptively simple bliss of these scenes reveals a sophisticated approach to everyday life. Her works are skillfully executed and present nuances of tone, brushstroke, angle and choice of subject that leave viewers of Pratt's images with a sense of wonder and occasional unease. These substantial artworks have multi-layered meanings for the artist, and for the viewers who encounter the range, subtlety and power of this remarkable painter. At once highly contemporary and deeply rooted in the traditions of art history, Pratt's work reveals the breadth of emotion, skill and maturity that she brings to her practice.
The exhibition Mary Pratt is not a retrospective in the customary sense of the word. Concentrating on Pratt's oils and mixed media paintings, the exhibition juxtaposes more than sixty works from different times in Pratt's career. It mirrors the manner in which she approaches her subject—as an interwoven conversation of themes. Despite describing herself as "consistently inconsistent," Pratt has enduring preoccupations. Her time is not dictated by clocks but rather numbered by daily rituals and the act of making ready. Pratt dwells on her surroundings, allowing a sideways autobiography through the objects and individuals that encompass her.
Touring nationally, the exhibition allows visitors across the country to view widely recognized as well as rarely seen works from the past five decades, gathered from private and public collections. It showcases Pratt's "tougher" paintings (to use her own description of them) alongside allusive works, all embodying the intensity and compassion with which she views her world.

Light My Fire: Some Propositions about Portraits and Photography
In 1977, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) purchased its first photograph: Arnold Newman's collage portrait of Henry Moore, a fitting complement to the 1974 gift of Moore's plasters to the gallery. This purchase marked the initial focus for collecting photography at the gallery: portraits of artists. The photography holdings have since grown to number more than 50,000 works. Though the collection now spans the wide reach and long history of the medium, portraits remain one of its strongest threads.
In Part II of Light My Fire: Some Propositions about Portraits and Photography – a show that Toronto Star art critic Murray Whyte called "utterly beguiling" – discover a fresh selection of more than 120 portraits from the AGO's permanent collection, along with select loans from local private collections. Organized under two new propositions, these works showcase the descriptive power of the medium but also its malleability.
"We are Not Ourselves" highlights the ways artists have manipulated photographic materials to create or reveal strange states of being. Through collage, long exposure, darkroom doubling and retouching, among other techniques, each of these photographs lead us from the realm of the familiar and recognizable to other more mysterious planes of existence.

What's So Funny? Recent Acquisitions of Humorous Art
December 21, 2013 – May 2014.
In 1976 the Trier-Fodor Foundation gave the Art Gallery of Ontario more than 1100 works by the humorist and illustrator Walter Trier. The gift was accompanied by an endowment to support the acquisition and exhibition of humorous, satirical and illustrative graphic art. More than 500 prints and drawings, representing highlights in the history of caricature, have been purchased with this fund. This installation features works that have been acquired in the past five years, which date from the late 1700s to the early 1800s.
Organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario.

This Is Not A Toy: The Urban Vinyl Phenomenon
February 6 – May 18, 2014.
Location: DX Exhibit Hall, Design Exchange — 234 Bay Street
Curators: DX Associate Curator, Sara Nickleson; Guest Curators John Wee
Tom and music icon Pharrell Williams.
This Is Not A Toy takes its name from the disclaimer found on packaging for objects geared to adults
or which might be harmful to young children – they may be called toys, but they are not intended for
play. The title also references Rene Magritte's Ceci N'est Pas Un Pipe, one of the seminal works of
art of the 20th century, which plays with the Duchampian notion of object, semantics and context in
determining a work's meaning and significance. Each of these theoretical groundings establish the
exhibition's framework: presenting the works as art and design objects and providing a platform for
conceptual discourse.
Lying at the intersection of fine art, marketing, pop culture, product and graphic design, designer
toys are highly collectible objects for a post-Pop world. Artists use the infrastructure of mass production
to create variation, personal expression and limited edition objects that range in price from just a
few dollars to many thousands more. With roots in late 1980s graffiti culture, urban vinyl is a subversive
art form that is as much rebellious as it is playful. These art toys reject and appropriate familiar
consumer imagery, manipulating household names and visual icons from Disney to Chanel thereby
shifting control from brand to artist, and ultimately, consumer. Some manipulate familiar visual tropes
while others create their own original forms, characters and worlds.

Kenojuak Ashevak: In Memoriam
September 28, 2013 – June 2014.
Isadore and Rosalie Sharp gallery.
With the passing of senior Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak in 2013, the Canadian cultural landscape has been significantly diminished. Over a long and influential career, Kenojuak produced innovative work that inspired her peers as well as younger generations of artists. Her visionary imagery drew on personal experience and reflected deep connections to family, community and her surroundings. Kenojuak's lyrical animal forms remain, for many, absolutely central to the Canadian story.
Organized by Art Gallery of Ontario.

I recently took these pants on a ski trip to Colorado and LOVED them! Very warm, ultra comfy, and I got lots of compliments! Pants looked more red online, but they're more of a salmon/coral on the bottom - cuter than the picture. Held up great on the slopes. Will be wearing these for a long time!

text: A sweet little album from Laurindo Almeida and his "Bossa Nova All Stars" – not a group of Brazilian musicians, and instead a hip set of LA players who really help make the set sparkle! There's a bit more jazz here than on some of Laurindo's other Capitol records of the time – a great 60s update to the groove he first forged in the 50s with Bud Shank – featuring even more swinging rhythms, inventive instrumentation, and a slightly larger group with players who include Jimmy Rowles on organ, Howard Roberts on guitar, Bob Cooper on tenor, Don Fagerquist on trumpet, Justin Gordon on flute, and Shelly Manne, Chico Guerrero, and Milt Holland on percussion! The use of organ is especially nice – a warm wave of sound on top of some great bossa rhythms – and titles include "Naked City Theme", "Teach Me Tonight", "Desafinado", "Mr Lucky", "Theme From Route 66", and "One Note Samba". (Rainbow label pressing. Cover has some wear, aging, and seam splitting, with some tape on the top and bottom seams.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

We know that a diet rich in the proper nutrients can be one of our best defenses against disease. But studies also show that good nutrition can often lessen the side effects of cancer treatment and may even shorten recovery time. The ideal diet for cancer survivors—and those who have never had cancer—includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, whole grain breads and cereals, lean cuts of meat (chicken, turkey or fish) or other protein, and low-fat dairy products.
It's also essential to cut back on salt, fat, alcohol and sugar. These empty calories can, in some cases, contribute the continuing development of cancer in the body. Researchers suggest, based on animal studies, that some tumors are "obligate glucose metabolizers," or in other words, "sugar feeders."
Everyone, whether cancer survivor or cancer-free, should make it a priority to maintain an appropriate weight, consume a healthy diet and enjoy a physically active lifestyle.
Here is some helpful information about foods and cancer prevention:
Antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage to tissues. Studies suggest that people who eat more vegetables and fruits, which are rich sources of antioxidants (including vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids and many other antioxidant phytochemicals), may have a lower risk for some types of cancer.
An article published last year in the International Journal of Integrative Medicine states that an increase in survival has been demonstrated for patients who received vitamin A or other anti-oxidants in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Patients who were given beta-carotene and other antioxidants while undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and radiation lived longer, with an increase in disease-free intervals.
According to the American Cancer Society, preliminary results from a clinical trial suggest that low-fat diets may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. Although there is no conclusive evidence that fat consumption influences cancer, diets high in fat tend to be high in calories. High-calorie diets may contribute to obesity, which is associated with increased incidence of cancer. There is, however, evidence that certain types of fat—such as saturated fats—may increase the risk of cancer.
Although an association between fiber and cancer is weak, these foods are still recommended because they contain other nutrients that may help reduce cancer risk and provide other health benefits, such as reduced risk of coronary heart disease. Soluble fiber, like that found in oat bran, helps lower the risk of coronary heart disease by reducing blood cholesterol levels. Fiber is also associated with improved bowel function. Good sources of fiber are beans, vegetables, whole grains and fruits.
Several studies have linked a high consumption of meat with increased risk of some kinds of cancers. In addition, some research suggests that frying, broiling or grilling meats at very high temperatures might increase incidence of some types of cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends limiting consumption of processed and red meats.
Studies have shown that eating a large amount of fruits and vegetables will lower the risk of some types of cancer. Since scientists don't know which of the many compounds in vegetables and fruits are most protective, it's best to consume five or more servings of vegetables and fruits each day.
