GSA Postgraduate Degree Show
Works by Blake Ballard and Deirdre McIntosh. A sonic piece taking a monophonic CV input and transforming it into shifting polyphonic chords — an unpredictable, ever-changing voice in dialogue with Ballard’s spatial work.
Instructions for Curating a Transnational Exhibition
Unfolded simultaneously in Toronto and Glasgow. Two curators exchanged instructions to (mis)guide each other’s curatorial process across an ocean.
Soft Return
A solo exhibition of crocheted works by Alexandria Masse. Through looping, the ephemeral is captured — Masse depicts fleeting moments of feeling through repeated looped forms that push the boundary of fibre arts.
sooperdooperlooper
Exploring the unexpected intersection between crochet, knitting, and electronic music — practices rooted in looped structures and collective rhythm.
Melodies of a Farewell
A series of five exhibitions at Youthful Vengeance featuring emerging artists from the Greater Toronto Area — a quiet farewell and transition.
Poster Pulse
An interactive zine containing a selection of posters found around Glasgow — exploring information overwhelm in the city.
Stranger Fruit: The Weight of Absence
Photographs by New York-based artist Jon Henry. Black mothers cradling their sons in poses echoing Michelangelo’s Pietà — a response to police violence.
the buds on the trees look like pistachios
Works by Danielle Vincent, Margaret Marchant, and Anita Lasek. Exploring the bittersweet blend of excitement and uncertainty at graduation.
