 Hi, art lovers! | | |  | Still from Something You Said Last Night (TIFF) | | | Our TIFF countdown keeps on keeping on. Remember that thing I was talking about last week — a series of essays written by Canadian filmmakers? (It’s called Cutaways, FWIW.) We’ve already published the first round. So, what did you miss?
The story of a journalist (Brian D. Johnson) finding a second act in film. His TIFF entry, The Colour of Ink, is a story about urban forager Jason Logan (previously seen here). Nisha Pahuja (director of To Kill a Tiger) revealed how she connected with the heart of her doc: a 13-year-old girl from Jharkhand, India. And director Sean Garrity (The End of Sex) has a story about a 40th birthday party that’s guaranteed to make you cringe.
Coming soon: essays from director (and former CBC Arts employee!) V.T. Nayani (This Place), Luis De Filippis (Something You Said Last Night) … and many, many more.
Long after Taylor Swift’s stopped traffic on King Street (which she will surely do All Too Well), we’ll be publishing these first-person missives. A new Cutaways article is slated to appear every day, taking us from TIFF’s lead-up to the very end of the festival (Sept. 18).
We’ve got movie picks too — and we’ll be publishing even more this week. Stoke your FOMO with our CBC Arts staff selections (find that list after today’s batch of eye candy), plus these must-see movies for music lovers. | | | | | And because we promised you eye candy ... | | |  | Wall-to-Wall Mural & Culture Festival | Love street art? The Wall-to-Wall Mural & Culture Festival is happening in Winnipeg until Sept. 25, so keep an eye on their Instagram for event and artist announcements. | | | | |  | Uýra, Série Retomada – Florescer, 2021. (Matheus Belém) | | Imagine seeing a supersized version of this image on your next trip to the Toronto waterfront. The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery has announced its fall 2022 exhibition, Arctic/Amazon: Networks of Global Indigeneity. It opens Oct. 1, and as part of the show, they’ll be installing work by this artist (Uýra) on the outside of the building. | | | | |  | Sami Tsang | | Across the way at Harbourfront Centre, Sami Tsang is a current artist-in-residence. Every square centimetre of her work is jam-packed with action. This is just a detail of a piece called Rebellion From Tub. | | | | |  | Sasha Pierce | | Painting by Sasha Pierce. Her new solo exhibition (Shippo) opens at Toronto’s Zalucky Contemporary Sept. 10. | | | | |  | TIFF | | | | | Will any of us actually score tickets? Fingers crossed! Still, these are the buzzworthy films our team can’t wait to see. | | | | |  | Farihah Aliyah Shah | | | | | Artist Farihah Aliyah Shah turns her lens on Kodak’s Shirley Cards and the racial bias that shaped the history of colour photography. | | | | |  | Cassils | | | | | | | Curator Renata Azevedo Moreira offers an inside look at Blurred Boundaries: Queer Visions in Canadian Art, on now through Sept. 25. | | |  | Sydney St. Mars | | Hailing from Winnipeg, Sydney is our logo artist for September, and as you can see, she totally nailed the assignment. (Way more mani puns, plus a Q&A with Sydney at the link.) | | | | | Share this newsletter | | or subscribe if this was
