Exhibition Public

PMBL Collective Summer ExhibitionPainters Make Better Lovers invites artists and makers from the OCADU community to submit works for an upcoming group show in the summer of 2019. We ask that submissions thematically fall in line with PMBL’s values, following Molly Zuckerman Hartung’s “95 Theses on Painting”, and be of a painterly practice (work that tugs at the boundaries of painting but are not necessarily limited to traditional media). Submissions are open to all OCADU students, alumni, and Toronto artists with ties to the school.

What does it mean to make painterly work in Toronto, living and working in a city constantly threatened by gentrification, corporatization, austerity cuts, and rising housing costs?

How do we survive in a city constantly in flux?

Transparency, sustainability, solidarity, and Toronto’s self-determination as a unique art community will be thematic focuses of the artists involved in the show.

How does painterly abstraction translate across media?
What does painting become when it lives in this city?
