Paola Pivi: Come check it out. Lies lies lies

Paola Pivi (born in Milan, now residing in Toronto) presents her first major touring exhibition in Canada. The exhibition features sculptural installations that question the authenticity of iconic symbols such as the Statue of Liberty and the polar bear. Central to the exhibition is an immersive work titled Lies (2018), which asks viewers to consider the unstable terrain of truth and falsehood. Staged as theatrical assemblages, Pivi's works invite reflection on choices and their inherent responsibility.

Jakob Kudsk Steensen: Otherworlds

Jakob Kudsk Steensen's first solo exhibition in Canada marks the largest institutional presentation of his work to date. Visitors encounter speculative worlds as chapters within a larger narrative: virtual reality experiences, spatialized sound environments, and immersive video installations. The exhibition includes the North American premiere of his large-scale installation Psychosphere (2025).
