BARMECIDAL PROJECTS LAUNCH:
FREE 4 ALL
16 APRIL 2011, 7 - 11 p.m.
BUTCHER GALLERY is pleased to host the launch of new virtual space Barmecidal Projects, a collaboration from Toronto artists Mike Goldby and Jillian Kay Ross.
BAR ME CID AL: providing only the illusion of abundance; illusory or imaginary and therefore disappointing.
Artists and curators Jillian Kay Ross and Mike Goldby celebrate their extended network of peers and contemporaries in Barmecidal Projects' inaugural group exhibition FREE 4 ALL. FREE 4 ALL features work by Alex McLeod, Amalia Ulman, Arielle Gavin, Brad Tinmouth, Brian Khek, Danielle Bessada, David Hanes, Emily Jones, Georgia Dickie, Iain Ball, Jennifer Chan, Jillian Kay Ross, Jon Rafman, Justin Bochek, Jono Mi Lo, Jarrod Wilson, Kaitlin Till- Landry, Lauren Brick, Lauren Elder, Lee Ormerod, Liam Wylie, Lili Huston- Herterich, Mike Goldby, Orlando Orellano, Rachael Milton, Shelbi Chew, and Tara Downs, unifying artists working both immaterially and physically. The high-gloss, hyper-real finish of the rendered exhibition obscures the boundaries between Real and Representation. So shiny, so irresistible by virtue of its digitallness, FREE 4 ALL supersedes certainty.
