Jennifer Murphy’s show Monkey’s Recovery is currently on at one of our favourite Toronto spaces, Clint Roenisch Gallery. Definitely worth the trip.

“This work is often called gothic, fantastical, surreal. And yes, it is often some or all of these things. But one thing you don’t always hear it called is psychedelic – at times phenomenologically dazzling, but more important: involved in an open question about material, representation, perception, and consciousness. It is this level of subjective complexity that allows the work to radically complicate image, presentation, representation, and narrative, and yet to take pleasure in it all.”
