Liz Magor: The Separation

Schedule

Wed Sep 20 2023 at 11:00 am to 06:00 pm

Location

MOCA Toronto | Toronto, ON

Liz Magor is one of Canada’s most influential artists. Her practice focuses on the possibilities of sculpture as a narrative form. Attentive to the physicality of an object, she casts and organizes found material so that intense narratives of dependency and desire can emerge. At once sarcastic and sympathetic, Magor’s sculptures spark questions about our belief and emotional investment in the material world.
This solo exhibition at MOCA emphasizes the tensions in her work, playing rough against refined, flimsy against sturdy, fashionable against passé and custom-made against mass-produced. Across the second floor will be varying moments of suspense: objects intercepting one another as they slip, tumble or fall from safety and grace.
Titled The Separation, Magor’s presentation of newly commissioned and recent works refers to changing values and shifting fates. Borrowing from the complexity of sculpture, the exhibition also invites the viewer to look and relook at their familiar surroundings.
