The pleasure and thesis of nothingness

There's really something in that apparent nothing.  Nice minimalist works from the exhibition First The Pleasure, Then The Thesis currently at the new space of Clint Roenisch Gallery, Toronto ...

The show is closing tomorrow!  Don't miss it if you're in town.

The current group exhibition trans/FORM: Matter as Subject > New Perspectives at MOCCA (Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art) is definitely one of the best shows I have seen in Toronto so far this year.  As indicated in the title and subtitle of the exhibition, this show focuses on materials with an open attitude of experimentation.  It's a proud showcase of the latest local artistic endeavours.
