TweetFrida Kahlo, who lived from 1907 to 1954, and who spent nearly her entire life in Mexico City, was a visionary artist. She remains enigmatic, yet her paintings, and her views of art, continue to inspire and influence all of us. Her art was deeply personal, but she illuminated emotional issues that resonate widely. Frida’s fears, pain, dreams, and surreal trances evoke empathy and curiosity. She spoke the language of the calle and the cantina, but she was also cosmopolitan, able to engage Leon Trotsky and Henry Ford, as well as André Breton and Lola Álvarez Bravo. And she enraptured Diego Rivera. After divorcing Frida, Diego missed her so much that he asked her to marry him again (which she did). Frida was intense and she was authentic. So many different emotions, all deeply experienced, infused her art: passion, intuition, intellectual acuity, loneliness, pain, cruelty, sorrow, remorse, love, jealousy, loneliness, and fear. The intensity of Frida is captured in this important exhibition of photographs of Frida. Many of the photographs shown were taken by Frida’s friends and lovers; other images are from celebrated photographers.

Dunya, the title of Mustafa’s masterfully crafted and breathtakingly tender full-length debut, roughly translates from Arabic to “the world in all its flaws.” It’s a lofty subject for a young songwriter, but as with every theme at the heart of the Sudanese-Canadian artist’s work—from religious devotion to childhood trauma, gang violence to romantic intimacy—he approaches it through a personal lens. Blending genres and moods, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folk songs, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs, arriving one after the other.
TweetIn Dark Waters, a tour de force of Southern Gothic Noir, Kristine Potter reinvents a centuries-old genre with coolness and clarity. With this recent collection of seductive and darkly brooding photographs, Potter reflects on the Southern Gothic mythos found in the popular imagination of “murder ballads”— traditional songs from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that often end in death and despair.
Her richly detailed black-and-white images channel the setting and characters of these songs, capturing the landscape of the American South and creating portraits that stand in for the oft-unnamed women at the center of their stories. In doing so, she both evokes and exorcizes the ambient sense of threat that women often grapple with as they move through the world.

Florence Henri: 1928 – 1933 is an exhibition that brings together a selection of work from the multidisciplinary artist’s portfolio, “12 Fotografien,” published in 1974 by Galerie Wilde in Köln, Germany.
Born in 1893 in New York, Florence Henri immigrated to Europe at the age of two, living amongst family members in numerous locales including London, Vienna, Paris, Munich, and eventually Rome, where she lived with her aunt and was exposed to the avant-garde by her uncle, the Italian Futurist, Gino Gori. By the age of eighteen she became a skilled pianist under the guidance of composer Ferruccio Busoni. Around 1912, Henri relocated to Berlin to continue her music studies and after the outbreak of WWI found herself trapped in Germany where she began composing music for silent films.

Brent Wadden constructs the surface like a weaver, yet approaches it like a painter and refers to his weavings as paintings. He started out in oil, the materiality of his early painted works somehow reminiscent of textiles, and it is this similarity that ignited his departure into the realm of fibres. Intricate weaving panels are sewn and mounted on canvas, then stretched and framed, as one would a painting. The way form and colour emerge and take up space in the composition is similar to large swathes of paint or well blended brushstrokes, but singular in that the physical structure of his works is at once the surface, as well as the material that covers it. Boundaries between mediums are blurred, and hierarchies among disciplines are dismantled. Brent Wadden’s woven paintings seem to reconcile a formally trained hand with a hand that touches out of curiosity.
