The Gladstone Hotel is proud to collaborate with Toronto International Film Festival's Future Projections. Future Projections fuses cinema's moving image with the gallery's visual arts for a provocative city-­wide programme at the 37th Toronto International Film Festival. Ming Wong: Making Chinatown, 2012 7-channel audio HD video installation with sound Courtesy of the artist Commissioned by REDCAT, Los Angeles Curated by Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox Gladstone Gallery, 2nd floor September 6 – 16, 2012 Gallery hours: 12pm – 5pm Video artist Ming Wong recreates select scenes from Roman Polanski's Chinatown with himself cast in each role, and then projects the resulting films onto photographically­altered sets reminiscent of studio lots. This funny and occasionally shocking installation addresses race, gender and sexuality while deconstructing cinema conventions and their ability to shape identity. Liang Yue: The Quiet Room, 2012 Three-channel audio digital video installation with sound, 19 minutes Courtesy of the artist and ShanghART Gallery Curated by Noah Cowan, Artistic Director, TIFF Bell Lightbox Art Bar September 6 – 16, 2012 Gallery hours: 12pm – 5pm Opening reception: September 6, 2012 from 7pm – 10pm This serene installation by leading Chinese photographer and filmmaker Liang Yue recalls the most dramatic and ethereal of landscape-­based art, profiling Canada in winter through both image and sound. The work focuses on the textures of snow and the mechanics of condensation, coupled with a surprisingly dramatic soundtrack of carefully recorded and amplified winter sounds.
