If you’ve been meaning to check out *Glorious Catastrophe* by Toronto artist Gillian Iles, mark your calendar for April 23rd. Koffler Arts is hosting an exhibition walkthrough led by Rui Pimenta, the writer behind the exhibition’s accompanying texts, offering a unique opportunity to explore the metaphors and dualities within Iles’s work.
About the Guide
Rui Pimenta is a veteran of the Toronto arts scene, with nearly 30 years of experience as an artist, curator, and advocate. He is perhaps best known as the founder of Art Spin, the organization that pioneered bicycle art tours in the city. His curatorial approach is deeply rooted in making art accessible and engaging in alternative spaces, and he brings a wealth of knowledge from his time serving on various arts council juries and advisory committees.
What to Expect
During this hour-long walkthrough, Pimenta will provide insights into the installation as a whole, as well as specific pieces within the show. It’s a fantastic way to move beyond a surface-level viewing and engage with the deeper themes of the exhibition. Whether you’re an art student, a collector, or just curious about the local scene, this walkthrough promises to be an enlightening experience.
