a weekly list of Toronto art exhibition openings and events 006
October 22nd to 27th, 2024
Pictured above is Ginger Chimes, the first exhibition by artist collective mamumifi (Jennifer Laflamme & Marisa Müsing) at Joys, on view until November 9th, 2024.
I saw two shows recently involving critters that were so tender and lovely I think I might be getting over my fear of arachnids. Eunice Luk’s Sympoiesis at YYZ Artists Outlet is a must-see, and Brandon Kaufman wrote a great article in the Toronto Star on Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill’s mixed media show at Cooper Cole, The Spider Plays.
