Corkin Gallery presents an exhibiton by Frank Mädler

FRANK MÄDLER

January 28-March 13, 2012

Corkin Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition, celebrating new works by Leipzig-based artist, Frank Mädler. The exhibition will feature works from the series, Basic Motion, Gold, Shine and Wiesen. In these bodies of works, Mädler calls attention to the relationship between distance, time, technology and movement through an ambiguous approach of visual representation. Mädler takes the spectators on a visual journey and is able to create an atmosphere that arouses emotion within the spectators.

Ramón Serrano

Words, Textures and
other Silly Things

Opening, Saturday, November 26, 2011, 2-5pm

Working from images of his native Havana, Serrano explores psychological displacement as a Cuban expatriate. The paintings show prominent Havana landmarks - the waterfront wall (el malecon), public buildings, interiors of schools - yet Serrano focuses on the ordinary visual minutiae of which memory is comprised. Imagery is pushed towards abstraction and appears to grasp the fading recollection of a world left behind.

9,000 works, 140 dealers, 30 countries: The art fair goes virtual

We are pleased to announce our participation in the VIP Art Fair, the worlds first online art fair running from January 22nd - 30th 2011 .


Barbara Astman, Dancing with Che #16, 30, 8 -triptych
Being a perfectionist means, among other things, living in a state of perpetual stress. Yet even the famously finicky Toronto art dealer Jane Corkin admits her stress level has come close to the distress threshold in recent days as she’s prepared for the opening of VIP Art Fair, an unprecedented online-only sale of art by almost 140 prestige galleries from 30 countries.

IAIN BAXTER& - Walk On

On until Novemeber 7th, 2010, Corkin presents Walk On, an exhibition of Iain Baxter&'s work



Fahrenheit 450 (Homage to Bradbury and Orwell)
“Fahrenheit 450 (Homage to Bradbury and Orwell)” consists of books and
shoes arranged in an infinity symbol on the floor of the gallery. The work celebrates a society of information exchange and the never-ending quest for knowledge while personifying some of the vehicles of this dialogue.

The Lecture
“The Lecture” recreates an intimate academic setting where eight rows of chairs are playfully adorned with shoes and face a lectern. The work serves as a medium for cultural commentary, and encourages the interaction between audience and artwork.


Photographs & Lightboxes
Informed by the notion of driving as a manifestation of consciousness
in North American culture, the photographs in this exhibition were taken
as BAXTER& travelled throughout Canada and the United States. His
photographic oeuvre functions as a fragmented narrative and establishes
his consuming passion for real-life experiences.
