Solo exhibition featuring Leif Low-Beer curated by Shani K Parsons and presented at TYPOLOGY Projects, Toronto

The Order of Things (exhibition view), 2014

This exhibition features new and recent work by Leif Low-Beer (Toronto/Brooklyn), an artist who engages in a playful reordering of ideas, images, and expectations through the use of constructed, multi-part, and/or recombined compositions of drawings, collages, assemblages, and sculptural tableaux. The Order of Things is Low-Beer’s first solo exhibition in Canada.

Evincing a keen interest in the mark of the hand, the relationships between objects in space, and the active engagement of the viewer, Low-Beer’s work is an exploration of psycho-spatial potential, graphing social tensions and internal enigmas that often exist as an underlying narrative layer. However, Low-Beer seeks to transcend fixed ideas or story lines in his work, preferring to create opportunities for meaning that can evolve and expand over time.

A full-colour exhibition catalogue featuring an original curatorial essay accompanies the show, as well as an affordable limited edition print produced in collaboration with the artist. A series of events including a catalogue launch, artist’s Q+A, and kid-friendly sculpture workshop were also produced in conjunction with the exhibition.
