As you were: Maryanne Casasanta
September 16th - October 16th, 2010
As You Were is an ongoing series of work by Toronto-based artist Maryanne Casasanta that contemplates the exchange between art and the commonplace. Casasanta approaches the act of documenting her personal living environment in a democratic fashion. She variously rearranges objects, alters their function, forges new connections between them, or simply takes their portraits. Through this process, Casasanta reacts to a desire to connect more deeply with her surroundings. As You Were is also concerned with the presentation of the body as an object or form, the poetic associations that cling to materials, and the merging of photography and conceptual art.

Yesterday I sold a box of over 700 found slides from the 70’s to a woman over craigslist.
She told me about an archival project of hers where she scans the slides and tags them by category:
Then she wiped out a beautiful polaroid camera and snapped a photo of me. Here we are in front of the Bloor/Gladstone Toronto Public Library.
Long live film!!

THIS is so beautiful
“Ronald Clyne, who died in 2006, made over 500 sleeves for the Folkways label, which was founded by Polish-born Moses ‘Moe’ Asch in New York in 1948. Under Asch’s direction, the label evolved into a fascinating repository for field recordings, spoken word, poetry and indigenous compositions.” Creative Review - Art for anything that is sound)

Robert Morris
Box for Standing 1961
Courtesy Sonnabend Gallery © Robert MorrisSIMON GRANT: You have described Passageway ‘is a kind of tomb’ and Box for Standing as ‘coffin-like’ and have said that there is something ‘paranoid’ about the grey plywood works of the 1960s. What did you mean by these comments?
ROBERT MORRIS: Art as a closed space, a refusal of communication, a secure refuge and defense against the outside world, a dead zone and buffer against others who would intrude.
For Matt.
