BMAD PRESENTS

UNPACKED

AT THE GLADSTONE HOTEL

1214 Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada


Opening reception:

Thursday April 14, 7-10 pm

Artist’s talk: Sunday April 17th, 2- 4 pm

(the exhibition continues to April 19)

An exhibition of some of the work created by Burke during his sabbatical. Researched and developed in Rome; painted, drawn, shot, and machine-lithographed in Calcutta; hand-litho'd in Honolulu; organised, tweaked, painted, printed, edited and framed in Toronto.

I would like to thank Havergal College for their support of the 4/5 leave program, and encouragement of my professional development as both an artist and teacher.

In keeping with one of the shows underlying themes, artwork about the making of artwork, I have posted a video about the making of the invitation image for the show. Thanks to Jonathan Howells for the design of the logo and text; Andrew McHaffie for his assistance with the formatting, general support and tech brilliance; and Dave Trattles for the best kwalitey Jetliner suitcase and the inspiration to go to India.
