Repost from @gagosian • "If we don’t amend history by making new images and new representations, we are always going to be excluding ourselves." —Titus Kaphar Happy birthday to Titus Kaphar, born on this day, August 17, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kaphar’s art deconstructs existing representations and styles, seeking to dislodge history from its status as “the past” in order to understand its continued impact on the present. For "Social Works," a group exhibition curated by Antwaun Sargent at Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York, Kaphar presents his painting "A bitter trade" (2020), which he whitewashed for a live NXTHVN event. In 2015, Kaphar cofounded NXTHVN, a nonprofit arts hub in Dixwell, New Haven, Connecticut, that provides fellowships, residencies, and professional development opportunities to artists, curators, and students. Follow the link in our bio to learn more about the organization or the show. __________ #TitusKaphar #NXTHVN #SocialWorks @__nxthvn__ Video clip from live streamed NXTHVN event filmed on October 6th, 2020 by John Dennis (@madbasic); Titus Kaphar, "A bitter trade," 2020 © Titus Kaphar

Pictured above are some amazing original works from the collection currently featured at Arta Gallery. Art Gala Forum exhibition continues at the gallery until August 2nd. Come see the exhibition in person at 14 distillery lane.

“At War Within” was a poetic installation that was thought-provoking drawing on the personal and universal dialogue of womanhood. It is such a pleasure to look back at Artas history of exciting openings and art happenings. We look forward to a time when we can all gather at the gallery again and celebrate art and culture.

Today we are having a Q&A with Toronto-based photographer J. Chapnik. She is constantly watching, analyzing, and absorbing what is happening around her, using her surroundings to tell stories in art. To get inspired, she enjoys travelling and finding unique subjects and moments to photograph. Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer? I’ve been fascinated by photography since I was a young child. I remember being in awe while creating images with photography paper, a leaf and the sun when I was a camper as young as 4 years old. At university, I took photography lessons while studying Studio Arts and Art History. In 2014, I bought a new camera (Nikon D800) and joined a creative photography group. I still get together with people I met in the class to discuss photography, share images, and create in the studio. (These days it’s via Zoom J). It’s like a book club, but for photography. I find that being in a group with other creative people with similar interests helps to inspire me and builds knowledge and skills. Read the full interview under the blog section at www.artagallery.ca

Today we are having a Q&A with Toronto-based photographer Morgan Jones. He has been working with mixed media for the better part of two decades. Self-described as an artist driven by the casual observation of the people and life around him. Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer? It just sort of happened ... I had lots of creative ideas that I lacked the necessary technical ability with paint or other mediums to execute on. So when I discovered photography it enabled me to creatively tell my story and express myself. Read the full interview under the blog section at www.artagallery.ca
