Jeff Wall Photographs 1984–2023 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto
The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (MOCA) has unveiled Jeff Wall Photographs 1984–2023, a landmark exhibition showcasing over 50 works by Canadian artist Jeff Wall. This presentation marks Wall’s first exhibition in Toronto in 35 years, and his first in Canada in 27 years. From now until March 22, 2026, all three floors of the museum will be dedicated to his work and career. This presentation allows viewers to see the evolution of Wall’s formats and working methods from documentary and “near-documentary” photographs to the production of his cinematographic pictures. According to MOCA, his photographs “reveal the complexities of contemporary life.”
“As one of the first to develop this back-lit approach to his work, Wall introduced technical innovations that forever changed the history of photography,” said Kathleen S. Bartels, MOCA’s executive director and exhibition curator. “This exhibition is the culmination of my long working relationship with Jeff and it’s a point of both personal and professional pride to present his achievements with MOCA’s audiences here in Toronto and across Canada.”
Linda Rotua Sormin: Uncertain Ground at the Gardiner Museum
This exhibition, on view at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto until April 12, 2026, brings together clay, sculpture, video, sound, hand-cut watercolour painting, and digital fabrication in a multi-sensory environment. The exhibition aims to ask how life in the modern, cosmopolitan city can coexist with memories and experiences of our ancestral traditions.
Raised in Canada and Thailand, Sormin has emerged as a leading voice in sculpture. According to the Gardiner Museum, Sormin’s web-like forms “burst through the boundaries of the medium and break apart and re-convene in new forms.” In her first solo museum exhibition and largest project to date, Sormin dives into her lineage among the Batak people of Sumatra in the Indonesian archipelago, and explores how images and ideas of her ancestors have infused her artistic practice. Building on her research, Sormin weaves a family history of shamanic and other spiritual practices fragmented by colonialism, Christianization, and diaspora.
Fall Exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery
The Gallery is presenting We who have known tides: Indigenous Art from the Collection, the first exhibition curated by Dr. Camille Georgeson-Usher, the gallery’s newly appointed audain senior curatorial advisor on Indigenous art. Bringing together almost 40 works predominantly drawn from the gallery’s permanent collection, the exhibition offers a look into what it means to exist at the edges of the Pacific Ocean.
Visitors will also encounter Nan Goldin: Stendhal Syndrome, the first major presentation of Goldin’s work in Vancouver, showcasing a new acquisition that underscores the emotional and intimate force of her photography.
Zobop (Colour-Chrome) (2019/2025) and Zobop (Colour-Chrome) Stairs (2019/2025) by Glasgow–based artist, DJ and musician Jim Lambie come together to transform the gallery’s rotunda into an immersive environment. Part of the artist’s Zobop series, the works are created using hundreds of strips of industrial vinyl tape to contour the architecture, wrapping the gallery’s staircase and floor in bands of colour.
