Ingrid Mida @ Loop & on Artsync TV

As a fan and a friend, I recommend:

All is Vanity is the translation of the latin Vanitus Vanitum, a biblical reference to the transitory nature of life. This theme conveys the vanity of pursuing earthly pleasures and accomplishments in the face of certain death. In this series of photographic self-portraits, Ingrid Mida attempts to convey the emotions of grief and also poses the question of "whether beauty and death are facets of the same experience”.

Ingrid Mida has exhibited her work in Toronto galleries since 2003. Embracing a variety of mediums including drawing, sculpture, installation and photography in her practice, her work explores the intersection of fashion, art and life.  Ingrid also works part-time as an assistant to a curator of fashion and textiles and is author of the widely read blog Fashion is my muse! 

All is Vanity continues its run at Loop Gallery until Sunday, February 13, 2011. The gallery is located at 1273 Dundas Street West in Toronto, just East of Dovercourt.

In dialogue with
The OCADU
CCP Graduate Students

On Thursday January 20th at 5pm in the OCADU Grad Gallery at 205 Richmond Street West, CCP Graduate Students and members of the Toronto Alliance of Art Critics (TAAC) will collaborate in a evening of sharing & discussing critical writings on Art.

Everyone is invited to bring in a piece of art criticism for review and discussion.

This evening event will be an opportunity for the TAAC and CCP to share ideas an insights into art writing in an encouraging environment of open dialogue and contribution. 

Rather than positioned as a didactic workshop this unique meeting is more an opportunity to share some ideas and get a better sense of Toronto criticism and its critics' taste.


Special Thanks to Rosemary Donegan, Director of the Criticism & Curatorial Program, and host of the event. 

Sky Goodden is the animator for the event.


All participants have been asked to bring one piece of art criticism or art writing they would like to share/discuss on some type of portable media (data stick or CD etc.).

Thanks to all TAAC members for your interest and support of this event.
