In the spring 2020 issue of Canadian Art, "Influence", Joy Xiang reviews Xuan Ye's three-part exhibition, Filling the Klein Bottle (updated April 1, 2020).

Xuan Ye and Wenxin Zhang's filling the Klein bottle (x) { continues at Varley Art Gallery in Markham until April 26, 2020. Soon, filling the Klein bottle (y) { is to open at InterAccess March 5 continuing until May 9, and subsequently filling the Klein bottle (z) { }}} at Bunker 2 from March 15 to May 30, both in Toronto. The unique structure of this exhibition splits it into three parts, functioning as three separate exhibitions. Featured in What to See in 2020 on Canadian Art, Joy Xiang writes,
"What links memes, memory-making, tourism and neoliberal capitalist spectacle? I’m fascinated by the way curator Belinda Kwan makes complex connections that emerge as meaningful interpretations of the global, digital flows of our present. This multi-site exhibition, presented through a satirical travel agency, features Wenxin Zhang and Xuan Ye and explores how infinite scrolling (“image tourism”) and cyber dreaming affect an emotional and desirous understanding of space-time. "

February 28, 2020
Carson Teal will be part of the exhibition In Praise of Green on Lansdowne Avenue this Saturday.
Opening Reception : Saturday February 29 2-5pm - 222 Lansdowne Ave, Toronto
"In Praise of Green is a group show interfacing images by different artists with one another or a piece of poetry to form both sides of a road sign. The works are chosen as they share something somewhat fantastical. They appear as a moment of longing, bordering on excitement. These wonderful images experienced in brief live on as foils to everyday encounter.
In Praise of Green will be displayed around Parkdale and up Lansdowne Ave. An exhibition catalog with images/texts of all works and a map of the original placements will serve as the only paraphernalia in the gallery. As such the “opening reception” is more symbolic and acts as the starting point when the art works will be posted in the ground. All works will be printed locally on cotton fabric and wrapped over recycled metal frames."

Lucy + Jorge Orta present a new multi-sensory installation The Raft of Medusa for the national touring exhibition Mariner, a contemporary response to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

It can also be understood as an ecological story, where knowledge, scientific understanding and tolerance offer a beacon of hope for our shared future.
Jim Campbell’s Salesforce Tower Installation to Change
August 29, 2019
Jim Campbell’s Salesforce Tower piece, Day for Night, is changing. The piece was originally revealed to the public in May 2018.
Most nights, the artist plays a series of recorded moving images on repeat. Clouds, ocean waves, dancers, birds and rippling water in the bay appear in that order. The sequence lasts about 45 minutes. But Campbell’s team says new images are coming early this fall, collected from cameras set up around San Francisco.
The tower top will soon show video snippets of city life that are recorded by cameras planted in San Francisco, from the Cliff House to the top of the Exploratorium, overlooking the bay. In the beginning, Campbell will edit a sequence made from new footage each day, but after some testing, he plans to outsource the work to software that will identify clips with lots of movement and color.

Lucy + Jorge Orta’s work will be exhibited in the group exhibition “Pouvoir & Pouvoir” at Galleria Continua Les Moulins from June 23 to September 22, 2019.
In this collective exhibition, some twenty international artists evoke the links between Art and Power. In this context, Lucy + Jorge Orta propose two forms of power struggle through large format paintings and textile banners.The paintings, Parcelas Dominantes, Triangular AAA and Gama refer to the political situation in Argentina from 1972-1983. The unfair distribution of land, which led to social uprisings violently repressed by dictatorial power with the creation of a death squadron, the Triple A. These works, in their abstract and geometric appearance, hide a system of color codes invented by Jorge Orta. This code, where each color represents a historical, geographical, political or social situation, allows him to speak-out and continue to create despite the repression.

Botto & Bruno Exhibition in Athens, Greece
December 04, 2018
Botto & Bruno's work The Ballad of Forgotten Places is on view at the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens until January 20, 2019.
“The project stems from a reflection on the need for certain marginal places to be protected and cared for and on the need to preserve their memory. The idea we want to develop is that of a work that must be hosted within an institutional space. Considering what Augè said “our time does not produce ruins because it doesn’t have the time” we started to build a structure that reminds of a contemporary ruin: the external walls of the work will therefore be the ruins of a modernist architecture that are also the ruins of its own utopia." - Botto & Bruno.
