Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum All My Seven Faces

Contemporary Arts Center, 44 E. Sixth St.
https://cincinnatiusa.com/events/pamela-phatsimo-sunstrum-all-my-seven-faces
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum explores the notion of nomadism via alter egos. The works of this Botswana-born, Toronto-based artist reflect the idiosyncrasies of her upbringing across three continents, while discussing broader notions of time and place. Shifting transnational identities swim and pool in her various drawings, gouaches and graphite wood panels. In these ephemeral scenes, her avatars collectively cobble alternate worlds and communities which her frescoes and videos further elaborate. Fluidity is the core of Sunstrum’s work: a fluidity of space, which leaves in question the exact geographies of the backgrounds she invents; a fluidity of being, allowing space for both the physical and the metaphysical realms; a fluidity of time, where avatars and embodiments escape particular geographies to float between worlds. As one of her essays aptly describes, her work is about leaping out and liminality. Together, the works boldly declare that maintaining fluidity can be synonymous with entering radical spaces. Defying time and location, they conjure political utopias and offer future, alternative possibilities. Employing fluidity as a counterpoint to rigid conservatism, Sunstrum’s tableaux are both airy and grounded in the political. They command an attention to fluid meanings; an embrace of flux, in-betweens and confusions. In so doing, they induce conversations about migration, borders, invisible matters or post-colonialism proposing a reevaluation of the radical role of imagination.
Bubi Canal: Into the Gloaming
Friday, July 12, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Saturday, July 13, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Contemporary Arts Center, 44 E. Sixth St.
https://cincinnatiusa.com/events/bubi-canal-gloaming
Into the Gloaming is a new photographic series by interdisciplinary artist, Bubi Canal (b. 1980, Spain), opening at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 12, 2019, organized by independent curator and writer, Maria Seda-Reeder. Showing in the Lower Level Lobby gallery space just outside of the CAC’s Black Box Performance Theatre, Canal’s lens-based work combines elements of pop culture with intuition, to manifest dreamlike characters from alternate realities. Using bright colorful subjects set against otherworldly landscapes at dusk, Canal imbues his work with optimism and innocence—but most importantly, to transmit hope and possibilities for the future. This series of 18 photographs and accompanying video, were shot in New York and Santander, Spain, during the transitional time between day and night—the gloaming. In it, the artist presents a personal universe of characters that reflect his expansive imagination and influences as diverse as Cantabrian mythologies and vintage Japanese television shows—creating his own distinctive folklore for a contemporary audience. Shooting portraits of those he knows intimately, (including himself) the artist scripts fantastical scenarios—allowing his subjects to communicate viscerally via natural posture and spontaneous gesture. In the accompanying video, Cosmovision, Canal follows signs through the landscape, taking a semiotic journey of discovery. In Spanish, “cosmovisión” means a particular take on the world and its values. Thus, Canal explores his own internal landscape by going beyond any limits of reason and entering into the unknown. "Canal's portraits provide us with a more nuanced model for understanding identity. Our world needs more of that kind of complexity.", says Seda-Reeder, curator for the exhibition.
