SUMMARY:Afterglow Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Symposium intersecting art, science and technology around Light Art.\nAccompanied by the Afterglow exhibition at the Gales Gallery.\n\n\nAFTERGLOW [ af-ter-gloh, ahf- ]:  Afterglow is an exhibition envisioned around the graphic quality of light, as well as its traces and incandescence both real and metaphorical. The participating artists explore cross-cultural practices via a variety of analog and digital media, relating light to unfolding contemporary considerations in the global Light Art panorama. At the same time, Afterglow references a deep resonance with the past, paying tribute to historical ideas that have illuminated our current understandings of interconnected systems of values and beliefs that underly the complementary artistic practices today.\nIn the words of pioneering Hungarian artist György Kepes (1906-2001) : “Our human nature is profoundly phototropic”. The exhibition is a reminder of the integral nature of light to human and more-than-human life, but also to the notion of light as a sensory environment within which we remain rooted, transfixed and nourished.  The exhibiting artists take up these ideas in various formations, alluding to the physical, metaphorical and ecological implications of light. As an initial exhibition prototype, Afterglow is presented first at the Gales Gallery at York University in Toronto as it grows towards future touring exhibitions and symposia. The exhibition is integrated with a virtual Symposium that features exhibiting artists as well as International artists/theorists in conversation.\nAfterglow Exhibition \nFebruary 3 – 7, 2025\nGales Gallery, York University\n10:00 – 3:00 p.m. Daily\nCurators: Nina Czegledy and Joel Ong\nExhibiting Artists: Raphael Arar, Laszlo Zsolt Bordos, NagyMolnar (Krisztian Nagy & Csaba Molnar), Joel Ong and Jennifer Willet. \nAfterglow Symposium\nFebruary 6, 2025\n1:00 – 3:00 p.m.\nSymposium Presenters: Andrea Polli, Jennifer Willet, Joel Ong, Karolina Halatek, Laszlo Zsolt Bordos, Marton Orosz, Nina Czegledy and Raphael Arar.\nView Symposium recording HERE ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0laP0T80uw&ab_channel=JoelOng )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
