On the wall: What's in the galleries this weekThe Janet E. Hutchinson lecture at UTAC, Ray Mead at RMG, Clandestine Chemistry atNeubacher Shor, past present FUTURE at ESP Projects

UTAC says goodbye to The Flesh of the World with a lecture and performance of CatheringRichards' Shroud Chrysalis, in which audience members can be wrapped in copper taffeta and, fora moment, be immune from all manner of wireless communication.

Consider it a calm before the storm. In a couple of weeks a pair of art fairs, Art Torontoand Feature, move into town to make their multi-pronged sales pitches, so savour thepeace while you can.

Lecture

University of Toronto Art Centre: UTAC wraps up (pun intended; see below) TheFlesh of the World, its daring multi-venue exhibition taking on a breadth of bodilyrepresentation and function with its annual Janet E. Hutchinson lecture delivered bythe University of Illinois’s Carrie Sandahl. Titled “Because of, not Despite of: Differenceas Generative Embodiment,” it looks to neatly encapsulate the radical physicaldifference the show aimed to represent. Afterwards, the event will showcase aperformance of Catherine Richards’ Shroud Chrysalis, inviting audience members to bebundled in copper taffeta, an electromagnetic shield that buffers the body from theinformational waves crackling through the air around them.

Oct. 7, 4:30 to 6 p.m., UTAC, 15 King’s College Circle.

Ray Mead, Untitled, part of a collection of more than 500 drawings by the acclaimed Canadianabstract painter and Painters Eleven member.

Ray Mead: Abstraction Through Line: Mead, a charter member (if there is such athing) of Painters Eleven, a Canadian collection of abstract painting confreres thatincluded such luminaries as Jack Bush and Kazuo Nakamura, died in 1998. His estatebestowed some 500 drawings in the Robert McLaughlin Gallery the following year,making its trove a completist’s dream for the roots of abstraction in English Canada(Quebec gets an airing of its abstraction heritage at the RMG starting next month).Works here range from figuration through abstraction, focusing on the immediacy ofgesture that generated some of Mead’s best works.

Oct. 10, RMG, 72 Queen St., Civic Centre Oshawa, until Jan. 24.

Clandestine Chemistry: Manny Neubacher, one of the gallery’s principals, washesitant to speak about this show, citing legal concerns and at least one pendingapproval from a well-known organization linked to various illicit activities (think for amoment; you’ll know). All of which makes for an intriguing, if somewhat vague,enticement to the gallery’s inaugural exhibition in what used to be a motorcycle repairshop. Get the picture? With work by Dean Drever, Brad Tinmouth, Tough GuyMountain and Consortium of Thieves.

Neubacher Shor Contemporary, 250 Emerson Ave., until Oct. 17

Katie Bethune-Leaman's work at ESP's new space on Dupont St., which is celebrating its movewith an inaugural group show until Oct. 10.

past present FUTURE: When Erin Stump, a young art dealer with an impressivestable of equally youthful artists, decamped from Dundas St. W. earlier this year forDupont Street, the first reaction was “Uh, where?” That was before more galleries madethe same trek, making for an unlikely art cluster in previously untrammelled territory.Stump’s opening show, assembled with a helping hand from Narwhal’s KristinWeckworth, conveys an optimism that suggests Dupont will be a well-worn art avenuesooner, not later. Featured artists include Katie Bethune-Leamen, Fastwurms, MaggieGroat, Susy Oliveira, Cameron Lee and Annie MacDonell.

ESP Projects, 1558 Dupont St., until Oct. 10
