THE POWER PLANT: RECENT SNOW
January 28, 2009 - March 7, 2010Toronto, ON
Opening on the artist's 81st birthday, 'Recent Snow: Projected Works by Michael Snow' surveys the legendary Canadian artist's forays into video installation from the past nine years. With seven projection works on display - most never before seen in Toronto - the exhibition includes works such as That / Cela / Dat (2000) and SSHTOORRTY (2005) as well as the world premiere of two new pieces. A pioneer particularly in experimental film, Snow has broken ground in every medium imaginable, from photography to improvisational music. The exhibition attests to the ongoing relevance of Snow-s playful and experimental practice, and the influence it continues to exert on the international contemporary art world. It also marks Snow's return to The Power Plant fifteen years after the ambition retrospective 'The Michael Snow Project' (1994) was co-organized by The Power Plant and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
