#throwback to visiting MOCA Toronto, the Museum of Contemporary Art, thanks to another MAP Pass access 🎟. Three floors of unique contemporary art. The toddler didn't know what to do with the piles of licorice candies on the floor and neither did we lol. #contemporaryart #mocatoronto #july2022 (at Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmqx0-Cuwus/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chantal Akerman "NOW"

At Museum of Contemporary Art

This is the exhibit that that really moved me the most out of all the installations I viewed. Not only did it move me, but it left a lasting impression in my memory.

My first impression of the front of the eoom wass really that of complete audible and visual chaos. I first did not know where to start to process the sensory information. As I went through the room however, and came upon the different layers of sound, I in turn began to understand more of the situation.

I'm not sure if this was intentional on the artist's part, but it seems to create this metaphor for the way we consume media and how our perceptions of happenings sort of miss so many other "layers" of the story we miss. From the front of the room the viewer is literally faced with multiple screens and so are unable to make out the different visual layers. We're also exposed to all the sounds at once and so unable to make out the auditory layers. But once we get behind that initial "surface" perception, we start to uncover the hidden images. The sounds are more discernible and we know that this initial thing we conceptualized as chaos now is being unraveled into it's individual components, including the human component.

I think it raises some provocative questions about how we understand the world. In a lot of ways we are just understanding much of the world through device screens, but more broadly are there things that we sometimes draw conclusions about what something (or someone) is on without seeing the different layers that make up that thing? (Or person)?

A few weekends ago I took my mom to MOCA. I don’t think she was too fussed with contemporary art to be honest, but we did have fun in this “Light Therapy” exhibit. • • • #toronto #lowerjunctiontriangle #igerstoronto #moca #mocatoronto #modernart #contemporaryart #torontophotography #urban_toronto #the6ix #artgallery #lighttherapy #gayboy #mother #apolonijašušteršič #artinuse (at MOCA Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAlt4QAWp9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xjooxn3s6q66
