Artist
Max Lupo is an interdisciplinary artist working in Barrie, Ontario. Over the course of his career Max has focused on printmaking, and new media sculpture. The inventions he creates challenge the notion of usefulness, providing often incongruous humour. In 2017 he obtained an MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Art and Design at OCAD University, following his BFA from Thompson Rivers University. Max has actively sought out many exhibition opportunities, exhibitions in Georgian College's Campus Gallery, as well as the gallery VERSO, on Toronto's Queen Street West, and the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ontario. Additionally, he works as an educator at Georgian College, and the Innisfil Public Library & ideaLAB.
Collaborator
Qendrim Hoti is an Albanian artist and designer, born in Kosovo and currently living in New York City. Hoti spent much of his young life moving between Canada and the US and uses these early life experiences to explore influences of immigration, assimilation and memory on one’s sense of identity. His work is based on the notion that objects are mnemonic devices for hybridized identities, and routinely fuses design and engineering with photography, sculpture and installation as part of his expanding research and practice. Recent exhibitions include Liminal Forms at OCADU Graduate Gallery, Toronto (2018), Sites of reconstruction at Ignite Gallery, Toronto (2018) and Super Toys Last All Summer Long at ESP, Toronto (2017). He also collaborated with Esmaa Mohamoud to produce her project for Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood at the Art Gallery of Ontario (2017). Qendrim Hoti received his BFA from York University in 2014 and his MFA from OCADU in 2017.
