Shiny Spinning Thing
January 17, 2012
Just about pinned the last of the sequins… there’s somewhere around 7,000 in total. Check it out, in all it’s spinny-sparkly-ness at the Gladstone Hotel for Come Up To My Room next week! Mad shout outs to my studio assistant Jolene

Mirrored Room with Shiny Spinning Things
BRUNO BILLIO and SAM MOGELONSKY love all things that shine and spin. By using this mutual interest as a starting point, they will create an installation where two independently shiny and spinning objects are reflected and repeated indefinitely within a space.
BILLIO is the resident artist at the Gladstone Hotel and an installation artist, sculptor, and designer. He has gained notoriety for his inventive use of stacking objects and his ability to reinterpret the everyday through spatial and contextual re-appropriation.
MOGELONSKY is an emerging Toronto-based artist. She holds an MFA from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art, London, UK. Mogelonsky constructs whimsical installations and sculptural forms that investigate storytelling and repetition.
BILLIO and MOGELONSKY have both exhibited within Canada and internationally.

P-arty in Peterborough!
January 15, 2012
Despite the awful road conditions on Friday (I was driving at 30km/hr on the 401 for a long stretch), a friend and I journeyed up to Peterborough, ON for the opening of ‘Are We There Yet?’ at ARTSPACE Gallery. The show was wonderfully put together by gallery director Fynn Leitch and also included Garth Leichty’s amazing woven garden hose carpet and work’s made with colored sand by Lauren Hall. It was a super fun night (probably the most fun I’ve ever had at an opening) so thanks do much to the whole ARTSPACE Crew! (Images: Photos by karol o. / decipherimages.com)

CUTMR progress
December 20, 2011
What started from a simple paper mache balloon with some foam on it, has now become something glittery… I think it will need about A LOT of sequins and pins to cover the sphere… but this is where I am so far with the project… oh, did I mention it’s going to rotate?
Paper mache, expandable foam, tissue paper, glue, paint, sequins and dressmaker’s pins.

Are We There Yet?
Lauren Hall, Gareth Lichty, Sam Mogelonsky
This group exhibit brings together the work of Lauren Hall, Gareth Lichty and Sam Mogelonsky to explore landscape simulation as a function of the tourist imagination. Beyond invoking a common phrase heard on the way to a destination, the title Are We There Yet? hints at the elusiveness of the expected destination.
