Tropicana

When confronting the environmental crisis, in which the unbridled production of goods threatens the diversity of the natural world, it’s essential that we take an interest in how things are displayed, commercialized, and consumed, whether in brick-and-mortar store windows or online.

Tropicana was produced by VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine with financial support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. Funding for the Art Gallery of Mississauga is generously provided by the City of Mississauga, the Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, Rama Gaming House and Charitable Gaming, and Community Good

About the Artist:

Costa Rica–born Juan Ortiz-Apuy has lived and worked in Montreal since 2003. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University. Working in collage and assemblage, he makes art driven by thinking around consumer goods, often employing humour to explore the advertising and media strategies associated with them. His works—which he presents in the form of multimedia installations—draw inspiration from design, art history and pop culture.

His work has been shown in several museums and art centres across Canada as well as abroad, including the Fondation Phi pour l’art contemporain (Montreal), Birch Contemporary Gallery (Toronto), OPTICA, centre d’art contemporain (Montreal), ARTSPACE (Peterborough), Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa), the IKEA Museum (Älmhult, Sweden), as well as at MOMENTA | Biennale de l’image in Montreal and Manif d’art 7 in Quebec City. Upcoming projects include a solo show at Open Space (Victoria), and residencies at MASS MoCA (North Adams, MA, USA) and the Zentrum Für Keramik (Berlin). Ortiz-Apuy holds a BFA from Concordia University, along with a postgraduate diploma from the Glasgow School of Art and an MFA from NSCAD University.

ViewFindHer

View Find(H)er: Finding Women Working in Photography 2022

is the first step in a project that aims to find and showcase the work of women artists that have a connection to Mississauga. The title of the exhibition references the eyepiece on the camera, known as the viewfinder, that a photographer holds close to their eye when taking a picture. Like the viewfinder, View Find (H)er is about looking and finding; it discovers a remarkable range of works and highlights a promising array of women artists.

Exhibiting Artists:

Kim-Lee Kho, Soka Lazara, Cat Marchese, Dainesha Nugent-Palache, Janice Reid, Sage Szkabarnicki-Stuart, Peggy Taylor Reid.

Guest Curator: Fausta Facciponte
