art delivery : 10.14.23
Today’s ‘member in the spotlight’ is the Olga Korper Gallery in Toronto. It’s a gorgeous space (as you can see), and their roster of artists is fantastic! For example, Meaghan Hyckie, a multidisciplinary Canadian artist whose show, “Ley Lines”, opens TODAY (reception 2-5pm). Houses are clearly her focus, and here’s why:
“… For the artist, this iconic shape is a literal interpretation of her beloved childhood home in Toronto, one of thousands built across Canada as part of a federal initiative in the 1940s to provide housing to returning war veterans and their families. These enclaves of affordable homes on winding streets with parks and schools embodied progressive design ideologies of that era, while proliferating policies that excluded residents based on their race, gender and class.”
Wow. So powerful. The show runs until November 11th, so if you’re in Toronto, be sure to stop in… AND, huge congratulations to Olga Korper, as her gallery just celebrated 50 years in business! WHAT? Yes. 50!!! You can find the gallery on Instagram at @olgakorpergallery.
That’s right, your brand / business could sponsor an issue (or ISSUES) of this Saturday ART DELIVERY! If you’d like to know more, you can email intheclub@thejealouscurator.com with the subject line SPONSORSHIP. Thanks!
Have a great weekend ~ Danielle
Every and each of your posts is great, always looking forward to the next!
Her work IS interesting, but personally, that gallery in Toronto looks interesting as well, like it's been refurbished / repurposed. My father was an architect, so I developed an appreciation for such buildings.
