Opening TONIGHT: Gallery 1313 Interphase brings together the thesis work of undergraduate and graduate Life Studies students whose practices traverse art, science, story, and personal narrative. Rooted in sustained research and shaped through dialogue, mentorship, and critique, these artworks reflect a year of deep engagement—of listening, questioning, and making.
Thanks again from The Drawing Board to the Banff Centre for the Arts for an amazing collaborative residency at the Painter House, Leighton Artist Studios!!
Life studies exhibition, Ada Slaight Gallery, OCAD U, Speculative Bodies. Art Biomes collab. Congratulations to all the students on their beautiful installations.
Excited for the opportunity to do another Tessellation durational performance at the Sotheby’s Institute in New York in a show curated by Elyse Longair for the Vantage Point photo exhibition CAA.

AKING TROUBLE: WOMEN, ART & SCIENCE
The Feminist Art Project TFAP@CAA Day of Panels
Saturday, February 15, 2025 – 9am – 4:30pm
Hilton Midtown, NYC (in-person, free, open to everyone, for the full schedule, please see link in bio)
Art Historian Linda Nochlin stated that, “Feminist art history is there to make trouble, to call into question, to ruffle feathers in the patriarchal dovecotes.” This event is dedicated to women who are troublemakers, and whose creative practice references science as a source of inspiration for writing, research, curating and art making.
Natalie Waldburger, “I started art and science work right out of OCAD seeking out anatomical studies in my figurative painting. Then I got interested in other scientific questions about what makes us human, like the human genome project. I later moved into installations then microscopic and cellular based works. I explore things that grow and ways in which materials grow themselves like having a child where you set the conditions, care and nurture the beings, and let them grow the way they want to. The surrounding environment impacts this particular work. My work has used wheatgrass, bioplastics, mycelium (the roots system of a mushroom). For my most recent project, I took molds of Victorian ceiling medallions that represent traditional Toronto architecture and also colonialism. I then filled them with mycelium while in the lab, allowing them to grow into these ornate forms.”
Chair: Anonda Bell (Director & Chief Curator, Paul Robeson Galleries, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey)

Life studies pamphlet designed by our excellent interim Chair Julius Poncelet Manapul! Looking forward to seeing all of our LIFE students again this fall!
One of the many amazing aspects of the Banff residency is the Open Studio which is open to the public.
So wonderful because of its relationship to all the arts communities there.
Thanks again to the Banff Centre for a great residency and open house! All the best to the incoming artists. You will love it!
