Sondra Meszaros
Sondra Meszaros’ work is concerned with representations of gender and female sexuality in relation to nature and fetishism. Through her collage-based practices, she aggregates and alienates depictions of women by introducing themes in the overall work, such as power dynamics or nostalgia, to dismantle and re-consider images. Taking cues from Dada and feminist collage as well as 19th century correspondence practices, Meszaros strives to research and articulate an expanded intimate archive that straddles different radical points in history.
Sondra Meszaros has exhibited work at Corkin Gallery, Toronto; Fortnight Institute, New York; and Jarvis Hall Gallery, Calgary, among others.

Tammi Campbell
Tammi Campbell’s art practice engages with the tradition of Modernist and Minimalist painting. Campbell humorously probes the specificity of the medium of painting and the fetishism of the creative process through paintings made in the style of trompe l’œil, but which appear to remain unfinished. She draws upon various materials and peripheral activities that are specific to the art world, and which contribute to a deep questioning of the value attributed to painting and to artists’ craft.
Tammi Campbell (born 1974, Canada) has exhibited work at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Vancouver Art Gallery; and Remai Modern, Saskatoon, among others.
