SARAH GREGG MILLMAN: A FUN TIME IS A GREAT TIME

In her first solo exhibition in Toronto, Millman expands on her ongoing, cinema-inspired lexicon of single working girls. Millman’s work portrays a fantasy world inhabited by characters going about daily life⎯where light and airy narratives mask the presence of oppression and anxiety lurking beneath the surface.

JOHANNA BILLING: THIS IS HOW WE WALK ON THE MOON

In the video This Is How We Walk on the Moon (2007), a group of local musicians learns to sail in the Firth of Forth, off the coast of Edinburgh, Scotland. Set to the 1980s song of the same title by the late experimental musician Arthur Russell, Billing's video explores the romanticism of the sea and the novice seafarers' first steps into uncharted territory.
