- Jesse Harris's show at Le (featuring some works in the photo above) to July 27 impressed me with its punk-prank attitude and the show in back by recent OCAD grad Amanda Nedham ain't too shabby either.
- Andrew Wright's show at Prefix includes some work made with the military that lends some new gravitas to his longstanding toy rockets videos.
- Artcore's summer show is quite poorly installed but does offer a chance to see work from top international artists.
- Patrick DeCoste's work in Paul Petro Special Projects' recent Pride show was surprisingly good; his current solo show there is also worth a look, really luscious and weird.
- Kiki Athanassiadis and Jay Wilson are highlights at York MFA's summer show.
- Rosana Simonassi's installation at Gallery TPW is very simple yet effective; projections of the pampas delivered from slide projectors in a darkened gallery. You are always aware of yourself in the way of one image or another, casting a shadow and being part of the work.
- An Te Liu's show of photos of IKEA-castoff constructions at MKG127 isn't my cup of tea, but the guy is headed for the Venice Architecture Biennial so it's certainly worth a look.
- Stephen Waddell's photos of beachgoers and bathers at Monte Clark may fit his painterly style and all, but I just like how his pics evoke loneliness in the midst of a crowd.
Happy hopping!
