Throughout the month of February, Butler will stage a Collage Party at Project Gallery that will serve as a pilot model for a future permanent space in Toronto. As Butler describes it: “The Collage Party is where I make my work. It’s my studio. And I like making work alongside other people of all ages and backgrounds – not just artists. It’s how I grow personally and artistically – laterally, through shared ideas, beliefs, opinions, likes, and techniques”. Info: facebook.com/events

What are the implications of past choices on future collection practices? Is an object altered by becoming part of an institution’s collection; is the institution altered? How are contemporary artists re-visiting historical narratives and forms of representation in their work?
Join artists, curators, and academics at the National Gallery of Canada as they discuss history, collecting and the art object. Participants include Shannon Bool, David Hartt, Robert Houle, Johanne Lamoureux, lessLIE, Landon Mackenzie, Diana Nemiroff, Jamasee Pitseolak, Hajra Waheed and Stan Douglas.
In the Auditorium. Free. Admission to Gallery exhibitions is not included. Registration is required: www.gallery.ca/rsvp/2018ContemporaryArtSymposium
