The Power Plant
Summer 2016 Exhibitions
June 25 – September 5
This summer at The Power Plant, step into
interactive worlds created by three contemporary
visual artists working with sculpture, stage-set
and performance.
Franz Erhard Walther: Call to Action
Franz Erhard Walther’s first major solo exhibition
in Canada brings together a body of work made
between the 1950s and the present and includes
sculptures, drawings and videos. At the core of
the exhibition is an interest in Walther’s radical
consideration of the relationship between the
object, the space and the human body.
Ulla von Brandenburg: It Has a Golden Red
Sun and an Elderly Green Moon
Ulla von Brandenburg explores states of
unconsciousness and the boundaries between
past and present, reality and illusion, the sacred
and the secular. It features a new film shot in the
Théâtre des Amandiers, France, and a
site-specific installation.
Emily Mast: The Cage is a Stage
June 29-30
This new multi-compositional project by
Emily Mast is presented by The Power Plant
and Blackwood Gallery. Comprised of two
exhibitions, a billboard and a short performance
at the Blackwood Gallery, as well as an evening-
length performance at Harbourfront Centre
Theatre, the project examines deep-seated
human compulsions.
Events

and the general public. A cash bar will be
available all evening.
Harbourfront Centre
Deliberately Ambiguous: Visual Arts
Winter/Spring Exhibitions
January 23 – June 19
Our five Winter/Spring Exhibitions feature artists
who work in a variety of disciplines and defy
categorization. Highly aware and engaged with
all aspects of contemporary culture, these artists
embrace it all.
Non-Objective
We highlight the achievements of our
Craft & Design Studio with past and present
Artists-in-Residence alongside others presenting
new work. This exhibition confounds specific
readings of the craft “object” and happily
engages in ambiguity. Curated by Melanie Egan
and Patrick Macaulay.
Geo-Abstract
The basic building blocks of geometry are used
to investigate the material properties of objects
and their spatial presence. Curated by Melanie
Egan and Patrick Macaulay.
Abstractionists
This exhibition is an opportunity to see the
work of contemporary artists who find answers
to creative inquiries within the freedom of
abstraction. Curated by Patrick Macaulay.
Last is First
Heather Goodchild and Naomi Yasui create an
exhibition brimming with the symbiosis of craft,
art and design, while advocating an alternate
perception of the associations and relationships
between objects, paintings and photography.
Curated by Melanie Egan.
Palimpsest
Working with experimental photography and
historical processes of image making, Ursula
Handleigh explores questions of identity,
perception, memory and familial relationships.
Curated by Patrick Macaulay.
Spotlight
Until September 18
Alex McLeod’s three large-scale computer
generated images demonstrate an intersection
between photography, painting, digital
animation, sculpture and built form. This new
work, situated on-site, with Lake Ontario as
its backdrop, recalls the wide-open vistas of
Romantic landscape painting while at the same
time staging otherworldly dystopias.
All Over Town: Visual Arts Summer
Exhibition
June 25 – September 18
By digging deep into the fabric of our city we
discover the secrets and differences that make
it truly unique, even to longtime residents. This
group of exhibitions brings attention to Toronto’s
hidden gems from the far reaches of its arts
community and showcases up-and-coming
artists. Over 30 Toronto-based artists present
work from craft and design to mixed media
installation and photography.
Visual Arts Exhibitions Opening Party
June 24
Join us for a free party and sneak peek at our
newly installed exhibition. A cash bar will be
available all evening.
