Solo Art Exhibition 'A Full Heart' March 9–21, 2019

3/6/2019

 
Picture
A Full Heart is my biggest solo show so far in my career. Full of recent and brand-new work in various media, it explores the human heart from various angles: structural, emotional and metaphorical.

​I've written a blog post about preparations for the show, click here to read it.

All the details can be found there, but the key location information is here as well.

Cedar Ridge Creative Centre
225 Confederation Drive
Toronto, ON  M1G 1B2

That's me, Kim-Lee Kho, standing with four large format digital mixed media prints from my 'A Full Heart' series, now showing in Rock, Paper, Scissors: New works in clay, paper, and textiles, a fascinating group show on now at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, through March 17, 2019.

Shown: Pathways (Paris), Tangled Heart (No Blood Left), Hea[r]t Pack and Heart: Haiku.

Curated in two parts by Lee Petrie and Katie Micak, the range of work is quite amazing and I feel privileged to be showing with these artists: Hannah Epstein, Christine Fry, Lindsay Gravelle, Philip Hare (my former colleague at The Red Head Gallery in Toronto), Christine Kim, Fuzzy Mall, and Christine Negus.

I will try to update this page further with additional photos and details, but I thought I'd better get something up while it's still ongoing! I'm currently preoccupied with preparing work for my upcoming solo show in March at Cedar Ridge Creative Centre in Scarborough, Ontario. Stay tuned!

Exhibition Update: Take 2, January 7-27 at Neilson Park

1/19/2019

Digital mixed media work, with and without photo elements, by Kim-Lee Kho and Helen Jones, showing at Neilson Park Creative Centre January 7–27, 2019.
Take 2 is an interesting variation on the annual instructors' show in the main gallery at Neilson Park Creative Centre. 

This year they asked each instructor to select a student (whether from NPCC or not) to exhibit with as a pair. Each of the instructors and the students then not only supplied artwork but also statements that address how each influenced the other. A fun idea!

The results are worth seeing. Helen Jones and I are exhibiting work that is produced digitally or as a hybrid, whether digital originals that incorporate physical media that's been digitized, or physical media that incorporates digital elements. 

Our artworks relate to courses and workshops I have taught, such as: Contemporary Mixed Media, Image Transfers and Photo-based Mixed Media. I will be teaching a 4-day intensive on image transfers in June, as well as Traditional into Digital Studio in the spring term. Click here to go directly to my Teaching page.

I'm pleased to say that two of my pieces have sold so far!

Hope you can make it – see map below for location information.

The Closing Reception will be Sunday January 27, 2–4 pm.

It's Over: The 2018 In Situ Multi-Arts Festival

Another wonderful In Situ Festival, put on by Creative Hub 1352 (the main focus of The Small Arms Society) in Mississauga, and their wonderful team, volunteers and board, and most especially artistic director Heather Snell who gave us artists the physical and psychic space to be at our best and combine to create an environment of artistic ferment!

I've written a blog post (part one) with my first thoughts about 'Hearts in Place', my room installation at the festival, which was held at the Small Arms Inspection Building (click here to read) – loads of photos!

Thanks to the many, many friends, colleagues and students who came out!
​Thanks also to Jennifer Vong for the photos on this page.

It's Back: In Situ II Multi-Arts Festival, Nov 8–10, 2018

9/29/2018

Site visit and selection day. Heather Snell, director of the In Situ II event and artistic director/curator of the arts content, shown here meeting with sculptor Derya Ozparlak to discuss location options for her work. Behind and to the left of them you can see the renovated main space of the formerly derelict building, now called the Small Arms Inspection Building. Photos above and top: Kim-Lee Kho, 2018.
Here's a sneak peek at the room I will be installing for this year's In Situ II multi-arts festival: Making Space, Making Place.
​

One of my favourite events of all time was the first In Situ festival in 2018, held at the then-abandoned factory space known as the Small Arms Building in Mississauga.

Produced by the Small Arms Society which saved the building from demolition, they were also instrumental in persuading the City of Mississauga to take over ownership of the site (renamed the Small Arms Inspection Building) which means the building is now partially renovated and features heat and running water (and bathrooms!), none of which was true for the first In Situ. Not that that held us back!

When I update this post I will show you a photo of the room I am creating an installation for, happily it's in the old, unrenovated wing – I do so love the decrepit beauty of it!

​Finally, I am planning to do live drawing again each of the three nights from 8-9pm.
​Hope to see you there!

Here are the details:

OSA Open Juried Exhibition: I’m In and You’re Invited!

4/9/2018

 
The Ontario Society of Artists has a long history – almost 150 years of it. Their Open Juried Exhibition is always an event, and this year, I’m happy to report, that event includes my work! The large print of Tangled Heart, No Blood Left made it in.

This was a very tough show to get into, I know a number of artists who didn’t make the cut, so I count myself lucky. I was initially drawn to submit my work largely because of the two (out of three) jurors I knew of, regardless of whether I got in or not. One of the jurors, Richard Rhodes, I know in-person; he was the longtime editor of Canadian Art magazine, and we met properly at the gallery he started after leaving Canadian Art, Richard Rhodes Dupont Projects, which had some wonderful shows, though it’s since closed I’m sad to say.

If you can make the reception on Thursday, April 12, 6–8pm, please say hi; otherwise I hope you can visit the show which is sure to be interesting and worth seeing.

Show runs April 10 through May 4, 2018.
Location information including a map is below. Hope to see you there!
