Heather Hart: Eastern Oracle: We Will Tear The Roof Off The Mother

Heather Hart: Northern Oracle, at Doris McCarthy Gallery, January 25 to April 1, reception/artist talk 5-8:30 pmJanuary 25 (bus from OCAD U 6 pm).

This is the latest iteration of the Brooklyn-based American artist’s Oracle installations, house roofs that viewers can climb on and enter, a riff on concepts of home and dispossession. The structure also functions as a performance space from which artists can “shout it from the rooftops.” As always, Doris McCarthy Gallery runs a free bus to the reception. You can also call or email DMG to reserve a place on a free bus tour that leaves from Koffler Gallery and also visits Blackwood Gallery and York U on February 26.
