Jasmine Reimer Coherent Disorder and Confused Arousal Please join us for the opening Saturday 4 July from 2 to 4 p.m. Georgia Sherman Projects 133 Tecumseth Street Toronto, ON Countermanding the function and normalcy of the everyday, I resurface objects and reposition them within absurd amalgamations of materials and things. To escape the confinement of predictability rooted within the banal and the domestic, I perform invented orders and abide by reasoning that is mostly without conventional logic. Misdirecting a singular reading I play with distortion and perversion aiming for coherent disorder and confused arousal. Dots connected that do not make logical sense; I aim to build strangeness and duration into the moment of recognition. In my sculpture mundane things become foreign, idealized substitutes for shielded, secretive subject matter while revealing a longing for closeness, a desire for difference and yet also for certainty. Charged with sensuality; absurd cadence, colour and texture I conjoin domestic goods in provocative placement to transmutate daily life and amplify its corporeal and libidinal effects.

Studio Visit with Jasmine Reimer
Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: I am 34 years old, I grew up in the prairies but moved here from Vancouver to attend the U of G MFA program. I am in my 2nd year and will have a thesis exhibition at G Gallery at the end of April. I previously studied at Emily Carr University. I make sculpture using found domestic objects combined with raw materials such as foam, styrofoam and putty. Sometimes I draw and have recently started experimenting with video.
Q: What are you currently working on?
A: Currently I am using found couch cushions that I re-skin, re-surface and re-definfe with a malleable colourful putty, in addition to combining them with found objects like lamp parts, flashlights, candles, buttons and fake fruit.
Q: What are you most excited about for the 2015 Open Studios/Shenkman Lecture?
A: I am looking forward to Michael Snow’s lecture and getting to participate in a seminar with him, getting to ask him questions about his work.
