LIFE SESSION AT PAUL PETRO CONTEMPORARY ART

March 17, 2016 – A new installation work entitled Life Session will open March 25, 2016 at Paul Petro Contemporary Art in Toronto. This work comprises a 16mm film loop and several graphite drawings. The film component is based on the first two minutes of a 1970s gay porn film. Shot on Super8, the original 10-minute film takes place in an artist’s studio. Life Session examines the myth of the artist in popular culture via the framework of an artist drawing a film of an artist drawing a model. The show runs until April 23, 2016. Opening Reception: Friday March 25, 7-10pm
