Laura Taler | HEX: Begin Again | 31.10.-13.12.2025


À VENIR




@ Laura Taler
Du 31 octobre au 13 décembre 2025 | Vernissage: jeudi 30 octobre From October 31 to December 13 | Opening: Thursday, October 30





In HEX: Begin Again, Laura Taler combines a simple mirror trick with strategies of masquerade to create a world of ritual and séance. Reaching into the past, Taler recites a series of remarkably contemporary historical texts by Maya Deren, Claude Cahun, and Susan Coolidge. These women’s carefully crafted and yet disruptive works sought to create new realities through artistic and technological means—realities where a self-aware female body is simultaneously sexual, intellectual, spiritual, practical, and unbounded by social mores. Through repetition and fragmentation, HEX: Begin Again questions our relationships to past and present technologies, the relativity of absolute value, and long held prejudices about female power. Visual clues punctuate the monologue and point to transformation and new beginnings. By channeling these women, who self-identified as outsiders, Taler weaves movement, cinema, and text to form a complex and playful language of resistance. Romanian-born Canadian artist Laura Taler works across a range of media including performance, film, sound, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores how memory and history are linked to movement and how the body is able to carry the past without being oppressed by it. Taler began her career as a contemporary dance choreographer before turning her attention to filmmaking and visual art. Her work has been praised for its unique combination of emotional resonance, wit, and striking visuals. She has been a resident at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Centro Cultural Recoleta (Buenos Aires), Carleton Immersive Media Studio (Ottawa), Ottawa Dance Directive, Unpack Studio (Havana) and a fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry (Berlin). Awards include a Gold Hugo from the Chicago International Film Festival, the Best Experimental Documentary award from Hot Docs!, Best of the Festival from New York’s Dance on Camera Festival, and SAW Gallery’s Dennis Tourbin Prize for New Performance. Her public art audio work MONAHAN was awarded the 2024 Creative City Network of Canada’s Public Art Legacy Award. To mark the 30th anniversary of her first film, the village trilogy, screenings and master classes will take place in 2025-26 across Canada.Heures d’ouverture :
