Gesturing Towards Pure Language: in conversation with writer and translator Max Lawton

Gesturing Towards Pure Language: in conversation with writer and translator Max Lawton

Thomas Mann’s distinguished translator-in-chief, John E Woods, once lamented that “Translation is an impossibility. Every language is unique to itself. So a translator tackles that impossibility anew with every author, with every sentence for that matter.” Countless other translations open with quasi-apologies like this, thinly-veiled confessions that in translation, one can only ever strive for the least worst rendering. These appeals are all too understandable. The translator’s unenviable role is to transfigure a text from one form into another—retaining some intangible essence—all the while remaining invisible. All the same, it is hard to imagine this sort of appeal from Max Lawton. Lawton…

Northern Territory, Southern Country: The 15th Taiwan International Documentary Festival

Northern Territory, Southern Country: The 15th Taiwan International Documentary Festival

While I saw many remarkable titles in competition at this year’s Taiwan International Documentary Festival (TIDF)—one of Asia’s premier documentary festivals, occurring every other year in Taipei—I feel compelled to discuss two non-competition programs: Encounters: The Living Landscape of Contemporary Canadian Documentaries and Taiwan Spectrum: War Memories, Shifting Identities. Together, they reveal something I find admirable about TIDF: its ability to connect people and places in ways that challenge stable notions of identity and community. The Encounters program introduced audiences in Taiwan to ten recent films by Canadian filmmakers centered around relationships to land. It was guest-curated by Marlene Edoyan and Hubert Sabino-Brunette, artistic co-directors…

“Tangled in the undergrowth”: in conversation with filmmaker Jamie Ross

“Tangled in the undergrowth”: in conversation with filmmaker Jamie Ross

Jamie  Ross is a Montreal‑based visual artist and filmmaker who currently splits their time between Los Angeles and Montreal—two cities that inform their practice. A practice rooted in community, ritual, and the recovery of unspoken histories, their work traverses gallery installations, photography, video art, and documentary film—foregrounding queer intergenerational connections and the manifestations of secrecy. In Ross’s research-based practice, they explore personal and public repositories, official archives, libraries, museum collections, and oral histories to excavate stories that official narratives have flattened or buried over time. Their interdisciplinary oeuvre offers a model for how historical recovery, queer praxis, and ritual can…

Haunted Highways

Haunted Highways

The highway is a rorschach test. Look at it, and what do you see? In 1967, Canadian artist Jack Chambers looked at southern Ontario’s 401 highway and saw it as a vessel of time. While driving on the highway, Chambers’ interest was piqued by the scene in his rearview mirror. Behind him lay the glorious modern highway, carved gently into the sloping terrain. In the painting 401 Towards London (1968-69), the grass is pool table green; the leaves are turning; the slow movement of geological change visible on the tilting horizon. The drivers themselves are stuck in a cycle of comings…

A Partial Reading: in conversation with multidisciplinary artist Nour Bishouty

Nour Bishouty is an artist based in Toronto who works across sculpture, the moving image, works on paper, and writing. Having encountered her work at various exhibitions and screenings in Toronto including at Cooper Cole, GTA21 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, and Toronto Palestine Film Festival, and having had the fortune of discussing Nour’s work with her over the years, we decided to extend our dialogue. The following conversation was conducted during her latest solo exhibition at the Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City entitled Madre Improbable (Unlikely Mother). Unlikely Mother centres around two new films: Catfish Mother Puddle of Juice (2026) and…

Exclamations in the Void: in conversation with artist Maggy Hamel-Metsos

Exclamations in the Void: in conversation with artist Maggy Hamel-Metsos

In April of last year we—Alana Friend Lettner and M. Leander Kalil—encountered Maggy Hamel-Metsos’ installation Simile Aria at Fonderie Darling in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). We knew very little about Hamel-Metsos; we did not yet know of her predilection for conceptual interrogations via sculptural means, nor of her various obsessions with opera divas, the Ukrainian-born Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector, and bullfights. We knew only that she had a residency at Fonderie Darling, that she had exhibited internationally, and that we had to see Simile Aria before it was taken down, according to urgent encouragements from several of our friends. Simile Aria featured a single repurposed church organ suspended from the…

Lifting the veneer: in conversation with art critic and novelist James Cahill

Lifting the veneer: in conversation with art critic and novelist James Cahill

Despite the quintessential plucky gallerist represented in many a media about ”life in the big city,” literature depicting the commercial art world, and doing it well, is far and few between. Enter James Cahill, an academic, art critic, and one-time gallerina (a decidedly gender neutral term). The British writer, who currently lives stateside in Los Angeles, made a name for himself as a novelist in 2022 with his debut Tiepolo Blue, exploring the psychological tailspin of a Cambridge art historian preoccupied by Rococo frescoes, as the Young British Art movement of the 1990s begins to encroach on his aesthetic worldview. His…

Relations, residue, refusal: in conversation with artist Jeneen Frei Njootli

Relations, residue, refusal: in conversation with artist Jeneen Frei Njootli

On a bright February day, I arrived at the Toronto shoreline of Lake Ontario bundled in my winter layers covered in a dusting of fresh snow. I tapped the slush from my boots against the Harbourfront Centre’s doorframe to visit The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery. Conscious of swishing fabric and leaving melted snow in my wake, I entered Vuntut Gwitchin artist Jeneen Frei Njootli’s solo exhibition The skies closed themselves when we averted our gaze. The Power Plant exhibition brings together works from a period of over ten years, revealing the artist’s sustained engagement with the relationships between body, land, and…
