Franz Erhard Walther at The Powerplant

September 5, 2016 by ArtJetSet

Franz Erhard Walther’s sculptural work at The Powerplant explores the relationship of the viewer, their body, space, and the intimacy of interactions between. The room is piled with 58 precisely folded packages of cotton fabric.  The sculptures only materialize once ‘activated’ by the viewers. There is a meditative quality to the unrolling / folding of the fabric.  Once activated and inside the material you feel enveloped in a strange sense of quiet and focus of the intimate space you are occupying.

Hayes slide projector on the wall flashing photos of her holding picket signs amidst great crowds of people. The slogans were not so much protesting, but rather ubiquitus statements. Ribelto hung from the ceiling a mobile of little airplanes made from candy […]

Steven Shearer at Power Plant Toronto

January 10, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Vancouver’s Steven Shearer presents three artistic themes in his colourful exhibition at the PowerPlant. Massive collage of pictures and photocopies archived from off the internet portrait a sublime allusion to the movement looks and attitude of 1970s heavymetal. Taking the form of one large framed montage or entire walls filled with individually framed photos of retouched artifacts, setlists, photos and anecdotes. Heavy metal hairdoes, youth culture and the proliferation of a subculture on the internet. Contrastly, Shearer draws (in bic […]
