RODNEY GRAHAM This rare solo show
in Toronto of works by the internationally
renowned Vancouver photoconceptual artist
and art-pop musician takes a serious look at
Graham’s waggish, character-driven critiques
of work, leisure and artmaking. On view from
May 12. Prefix ICA, 124–401 Richmond St. W.

AUDE MOREAU The towering night sky-
lines of Los Angeles, New York, Montreal and
Toronto become sites of subtly coordinated
end-of-days intervention in the Montreal art-
ist’s cinematic video work, part of the touring
survey exhibition “The Political Nightfall.”
Curated by Louise Déry. Continues through
Apr. 11. The Power Plant, 231 Queens Quay W.

DIL HILDEBRAND Theatricality, the
instability of pictorial space and the act of
painting as an architectural exploration of
object and form are touchstones for a suite
of recent abstract paintings by the Montreal
artist. Mar. 19 to Apr. 16. Pierre-François Ouel-
lette art contemporain Toronto, 65 George St.

DENNIS DAY In “Referencing Materials,”
Day starts with photos of everyday objects—
flowers, stemware, home appliances, a candle
flame—which he then cuts out and restages
as a series of still-life dioramas that examine
the fine line between material and metaphor.
On view from Apr. 29 through May 28. Paul
Petro Contemporary Art, 890 Queen St. W.

IMAGES FESTIVAL Filmmakers Caroline
Key and KIM KyungMook’s study of collective
action by Seoul sex workers, on view at Whip-
