Public Studio “What We Lose in Metrics” (work in progress) 2 015

VIEW TAMIRA SAWATZKY:
For a long time, Elle
and I used to say that
her colours are the
warm pinks and golds
of Jerusalem, while mine
are the colder blues and greens of
the Canadian Shield, where I spent
summers as a child. That’s where
the forest as a place of darkness and
light, smell and texture, imprinted
on me, likely forming my interests
in space and materiality. This show
is a meditation on the forest that
looks beyond the environmental
consequences of deforestation
to another, more psychic loss— one
of the cultural imagination and of
reconciliation with those who have
traditionally inhabited the land.
Tamira Sawatzky is a Toronto architect, artist and
collaborator, with Elle Flanders, in the art collective
Public Studio. Their exhibition “What We Lose in
Metrics” is on view from Apr. 13 to June 10 at the
Art Gallery of York University, 4700 Keele St.

OLIVER HUSAIN Historical myth and
sci-fi fantasy collide in La Isla Santa Maria
3D, a stereoscopic video installation, with
“3D sculptural viewing devices,” based on the
tale of an island formed from the wreckage
of a replica of Columbus’s famed ship at the
1893 World’s Columbian Expo in Chicago. Apr.
14 to June 4. Gallery TPW, 170 St. Helens Ave.
