Picture Window : Pandemic Portrait Activation
In response to this sudden loss of contact, we created a neighbourhood project, Picture Window. We connect through distance by taking portraits of households on our street as they maintain self-imposed isolation. Glass picture windows arrived in the 17th century to provide homeowners with light and an opportunity to enjoy the view outside. This project reverses the picture window's original intention with the viewer becoming the view and the light coming from within.
Taken at dawn or dusk, the images convey the resilience of a community. When we put out the call, thirty neighbours responded with excitement. Their portrait session was something to look forward to and a few moments in their day where fun could override fear or questions about a precarious future.
This project is now closed, but you can learn more and view some of these portraits here.

Exhibition 002: Wild Rose
Mutti Art Projects is proud to present Canadian-born, New York-based artist Landon Speers. Speers brings his visual and musical practices together with the release of ‘Wild Rose’, a book of original photography with an accompanying album of ambient compositions.
Exploring beauty in states of growth and decay, the landscapes of Wild Rose are captured with an approach akin to portraiture. Time is the hidden subject emerging from geological formations and inhabited spaces, momentarily absent of humans. An intimate sense of life long lived in these environments lies beneath the surface of every image with a spectral glow. Focused on nature’s simple gestures even in the least likely of places, Wild Rose suggests a new relationship with our surroundings and an appreciation for our world’s infinite details.
Exhibition 001 : Identity
Our main floor presents works from Tahsin the Good, Dara Vandor and The Dara Project featuring illustrative and graphic artist, Yazmin Butcher and collage artist, Barbara Siewert's interpretations of Dara Vandor's photorealistic work in lingerie on the theme of feminism and sexuality.
