A Kind of Order considers transit as more than physical travel, framing it as an emotional, intellectual, and imaginative state shaped by lived experience, history, and identity. Installed across multiple locations within Union Toronto, the exhibition meets audiences mid‑journey, creating moments of reflection and storytelling.
Cross Section (2026) looks downward to the subsurface as a shared field of circulation, where what is treated as extractable keeps rerouting relations. Across six prints and a monitor, the image field is built from magnified soil, larvae, pebbles, and cropped fragments of scientific language. Halftone grain and visible seams make the surface feel reproduced, sampled, and reassembled, like knowledge that arrives in pieces. Pixelation suggests the work is constantly re-tuning its own frequency to the motion it tracks… Learn More–
Timothy Yanick Hunter uses self-led research and methodologies of recording and sampling to explore the experiential and aesthetic dimensions of the Black diaspora.
On the façade of Union Station, Aaron Jones stages Lazarus, Contained as a weathered window, life held under glass. Split across seven vertical banners, one image is both continuous and interrupted, mirroring the station’s arrangement of places within places and the patterned movement of bodies. The tank makes the logic of the site visible: hypervisibility, contained circulation, and the demand to keep moving. The station offers little privacy, yet produces unexpected encounters, where the promise to move freely meets the rigidity of routine in the same current… Learn More–

Toeba situates “development” as a system ... Learn More–

Hazelle Palmer’s collage paintings build portraits as vignettes: moody, affective glimpses of an unfolding narrative held in posture, surface, and colour. Emotions gather here with range—joy, pleasure, longing, mourning—coming forward without needing to anchor themselves to a specific time or place. Decorative papers and patterns are not mere ornament behind the figure; they act as an active ground that holds and hovers around the body, sometimes cradling it, sometimes pressing close like music, heat, or memory. Cut edges, overlaps, and layered pattern remain legible in the image, so the work keeps its sense of making even in reproduction… Learn More–
