Descripción de la Exposición

Summer, the first solo exhibition in Canada of acclaimed artist, Felix Gonzalez-Torres (Cuban-born, American, 1957-1996), generates reflections on our relationship to place: the social and natural landscape. Gonzalez-Torres produced an expansive oeuvre before his death from AIDS-related illness, becoming influential for his evocative use of mass-produced objects and his conceptual approach to photography. Invested in destabilizing authority and fixed meanings, he extended certain decision-making responsibilities to owners, exhibitors, and audiences, ensuring the significance of the work would evolve with time. Summer presents a number of significant works including the text portrait, “Untitled,” 1989, a listing of personal and historical events, names and places with corresponding dates, and “Untitled (Public Opinion),” 1991, a mass of black licorice candies from which viewers may choose to take. The works will shift through-out the exhibition as they are reconfigured, consumed, and endlessly interpreted.
