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.

In the Printmaking Department of OCADU, each student offers their unique vision to the timeless mediums of lithography, etching, relief and screen printing. In this exhibition, Printmaking’s graduates have both supported the mediums two dimensional tradition, and transformed it into sculptural, installation and bookmaking projects.
With urgency and enthusiasm, these artists find their own niches and approaches for their work, expanding their sights beyond the institutional space to a cultural landscape. Themes explore a variety of delights including: the death drive to post-human transformations, folk lore to popular culture, collecting to cultural persistence, and traditional ideologies from the Classical to the Romantic.
Come celebrate with the graduating printmakers, as they reveal their thesis works!
