SUMMARY:Rouzbeh Akhbari: Of Wool and Diesel
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Friday\, 2 October 2026\, 7–10PM \nRouzbeh Akhbari is an artist\, filmmaker\, and geographer based in Toronto and Lisbon. Working across film and installation\, his practice investigates the political and ecological entanglements of trade\, infrastructure\, and human geography. \nIn 2024\, Mercer Union invited the artist to develop a new film installation for his first institutional solo exhibition in Canada. Titled Of Wool and Diesel (2026)\, the work follows the smuggling of sheep by speedboat within the Strait of Hormuz and considers the act as part of an essential transcontinental supply chain\, a network of informal trade\, and a history of lawless seas with ties to 17th-century Portugal. \nOf Wool and Diesel is the culmination of Akhbari’s research and fieldwork over the last five years\, developed alongside the artist’s debut documentary feature\, Crossings: Kaleh Ziyarat (2026)\, a counterpoint to the exhibition. \nMercer Union’s collaboration with Akhbari emerges from our long-held commitment to commissioning new work and creating milestone opportunities for artists to bring their visions to fruition in Toronto.

SUMMARY:Unzipped - 4K Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his legendary fall 1994 collection\, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve\, Mizrahi’s then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant\, raucous 1990s\, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable\, and a vérité-style\, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process\, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius\, as well as its personal costs. \nIn English and French\, with French subtitles. \nTICKETS (+HST) \nGeneral: $15 \nMembers: $10\, $8\, FREE
