Info

Working Title
126A Davenport Road
Toronto, ON
M5R 1H9
May 16 – June 16, 2014

Words

"Demo (2014) is the continued exploration into imagery and surfaces encountered within specific cultural occurrences amongst a coterie of men. Within Harvey's recent show S/T walls were cast from plaster serving as indexes or objects recording the surface in which the sub-culture exists. Continuing to create a context in which the work lives in additional objects are re-contextualized within the setting of the work. Pushing the idea of what makes an object or work photographic Harvey works with numerous materials making impressions and creating a record onto the gallery wall. Along with sculptural works and objects, photographic prints and vinyl exist to be spliced within serving as a context of fantasy. The works all serve as records of movement, texture and imaginative lust compiled amongst themselves to create a collective theoretic atmosphere."

An Exhibition & Publication
Working Title
126A Davenport Road, Toronto
November 13, 2013 - January 1, 2014

Words

"Working Title is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition with Toronto based photographer Seth Fluker. This exhibit gives insight into Seth’s image editing process from his latest publication, Earth People. Through a variety of media and installation, this new body of work reveals Fluker’s self-reflexive impulse to continuously explore subject matter, technology and material associated with his practice. Earth People is a visual narrative composed by Seth Fluker. Set against a backdrop of digital and natural landscapes, this sequence of images connects disparate strands of contemporary life through an array of photographic genres. With a haunting undertone of artifact and reverie, Earth People explores the introspective nature of human behaviour while tracing metaphysical observations."
