Toronto based artists Sam Mogelonsky and Becky Ip will join us for a presentation on their works in our new exhibition, ‘Making Methods.’
Becky Ip’s video and sculptural work is informed by personal narrative. Through meticulous research of her own history, she engages in the process of memory to create graphite drawings and paintings. By means of an almost compulsive process, the artist records her paintings into a dream-like video work her family’s past.
Through the repetition of decorative elements and process-driven labour, Samantha Mogelonsky attempts to challenge limits of adornment, contemporary consumption and excess. Her sculptures are truly experiments in material and labour.
Becky Ip holds a BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Concordia University and has participated in residencies at The Banff Centre and Plug In ICA (Winnipeg).
Sam Mogelonsky is an emerging Toronto-based artist. She holds a BFAH from Queen’s University, (Kingston, Ontario) and an MFA from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art (London, UK). Her work is held in Canadian and international collections and she is the recipient of a 2013 emerging artist grant form the Toronto Arts Council.
