Trinity Square Video is excited to announce the inaugural exhibition for our new gallery on the first floor of 401 Richmond Street West: sub-fusc love-fest, the first Canadian exhibition of work by London-based artist/poet Heather Phillipson. Co-presented with Images Festival, sub-fusc love-feast incorporates video, text, and audio within an elaborately maximalist sculptural landscape. Through large, synchronised projections and out-scaled generic prints suspended at varying heights and obtruding precariously, the artist challenges ideas of nature as something at a remove from humans. In an era of extreme ingestion, distribution and spectacle, Phillipson amasses multiple representations of the ‘natural’ world, abutted by our bodies, taking multiple routes through sex, consumption and waste. Phillipson gives voice to the animals, plants and land-masses, who answer back, demanding that we observe their agency and sensuality, betraying complex human interactions with the environment as it is, and as we conceive it. The opening of this exhibition will mark the first phase of Trinity Square Video’s launch of our new home for Media Arts.

Presented in collaboration with the Images Festival, April 14 – 23, 2016. For more information visit imagesfestival.com
