Black Sheep Press - Toronto's Best Parties

Local magazine, The Grid, has featured the Black Sheep show in this weeks edition of The Night List, a prediction of the top 5 best parties to attend in Toronto, during April 5th-11th!

Go Black Sheep! We're everywhere!! We can't be stopped!!! BAAAHHH!!!!

Highlight:

Thursday: Black Sheep, an OCAD printmaking exhibition

Gladstone Gallery, 1214 Queen Street West, second floor. #WQW Free. Runs until April 24. Doors at 7 p.m.
Looking for a custom throw pillow? Maybe fund a rad t-shirt line upstart? If you’re looking to stumble upon the next big nu-art thing being birthed in this town, stumble no further than OCAD’s thesis exhibit. The exhibit’s namesake, the “Black Sheep,” is merely the beginning of realness, and what I’m taking as an allegory for the incoming generation’s craving/quest for the unique among the complacent and conservative. Look for lithography, etching, relief and screen printing transformed into sculptural, installation and bookmaking projects. Themes include: “the death drive to post-human transformations, folklore to popular culture, collecting to cultural persistence, and traditional ideologies from the Classical to the Romantic.” Ones to watch: nature-led Melissa Cormier, visionary-of-all-trades Jimmy Brannen, and rebel girl Kaelan Karjalainen. Find out more here, and watch a promo video from the class here.
