Norouz 2011
Norouz, meaning ‘New Day’ in Persian, is the traditional celebration of the Iranian New Year. Celebrated in Iran, this festival, which marks the first day of Spring, has now spread to other parts of the world.
Here in Toronto, Queen Gallery is delighted to host our second annual exhibition marking this festival of jubilation. This year we have four Iranian artists involved in the show, all of whom are all currently living and working in Toronto.

This social documentary project all started with the disappearances – at the time I lived north of Pickering on the infamous Airport Lands. I was driving home one day and suddenly had to stop and ask myself – “Am I on the right road? Where is the house at the T junction?” Sometime that day, it had vanished. As it turned out, this was just the beginning, as buildings of all kinds fell to the bulldozers.

One thing that all human societies have in common is their need to explain where they come from. Whether it is as a nation, like Rome’s Romulus and Remus, or as a pan-national collective, like the Norse Valhalla legends; whether it is based on “beliefs,” like the Judeo-Christian Seven Days of Creation, or empirical “facts,” like the Big Bang Model or the Human Genome Project, knowing who we are is interwoven with knowing how we got here. Even tracing one’s family tree is, in fact, a micro level ontology. We can’t help looking for explanations. (more…)

El Gallo Chantecler, the Gestural Charms of Kamyl Bullaudy Rodríguez
by Valérie C. Kaelin, MFA
Instructor, Ryerson University School of Image Arts
A master of contemporary Cuban art, Bullaudy’s range of production is impressive, including charcoal murals, collages, paintings that incorporate coloured pulp made in a blender from discarded paper and egg cartons, and the lively run of roosters exhibited at Queen Gallery. One need not even consult the documentaries neither by Roberto Chile nor by Juder Laffita of the artist at work to sense the marvellous energy with which these pieces are executed.

Nebulous Rings
The idea of the painting inspires friendship between the hands and the infinite reaches through a few tools, foreshadowing destiny. The image that collapses from my eyes inhales the fallen comets from the beast’s sleep.My hands chase the ripe colors, and the wood deciphers itself through the madness of the golden lines that wish to be destiny’s origin. My left eye embodies the woven mirror signalling the approach of the botanical dreams. The skin of the mirror is the slender shadow of the tall forests which throws on my fingers the knots that provoke the burst of the warp and weft My right eye waters the idea of watering.
The hidden caves echo within the nebulous rings of our depth. Suddenly you become the irrigated memory, I, the extension of the forgotten.
