about Mulherin | CTS: Co-directors Lynn and Diego del Sol opened {CTS} creative thriftshop in May of 2004. Presenting to the public provocative content driven work by local and international mid-career, underrepresented, and emerging artists in all mediums while actively organizing over twenty nomadic exhibitions and events a year. Founded on the belief that art is, and should be, an integrated part of our lives, essential to the progression and understanding of our times. We exhibit, support, and promote art that is innovative and ground breaking. Our goal is to build an infrastructure that knows no boundaries, one that carries the torch of modernism acting as a vehicle for dreamers, a cultural meeting place for great minds, an international community of interconnectivity and expandability.
Katharine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects and affiliated galleries have showcased the works of emerging artists since 1998 when Mulherin opened BUSgallery, a storefront exhibition space that, over the past eight years, has shifted and grown into three showcase galleries on Toronto's Queen Street West, a recognized art district. While Mulherin has established herself as an art dealer, she continues to approach her practice as a project, driven by her concerns as an artist and curator.

Eric Doeringer, Stains (after Ed Ruscha), 2009, mix media on paper, 75 stains in portfolio, handmade box, edition of 10, 12x11in (31x28cm)
Image courtesy of {CTS} creative thriftshop |
about the artist: Eric Doeringer a multimedia artist based in Brooklyn, NY. works addresses issues of illegality, the art market, and the intersection between subculture and popular culture in America. In this presentation we hang three works in a kind of “California Conceptualist” installation featuring works recreated after John Baldessari, Charles Ray, and Ed Ruscha. Here the artist has stretched the allowance of what perhaps the artist ideology intended when they said -anyone simply by following a set of written instruction could create said works.

Daid Kramer, Props and Excuses, 2011, oil on canvas with drink cart, glass
bottles, and light, 61x60in (155x152cm)
Image courtesy of {CTS} creative thriftshop |
about the artist: David Kramer makes art work that tells jokes and stories or creates visual puns all asking similar types of proverbial questions and then questioning why the stock answers never quite seems to fit. Using advertisements and lifestyle magazine images, often from his youth in the 1970’s, Kramer is on an eternal mission looking for clues as to the whereabouts of the “Good Life” and the American Dream often depicted in these pages. His own proverbial questions often shape up to questions of why hasn’t his own life lived up to the promises doled out by both Hollywood and Madison Avenue.

Jack Balas, Jizz, 2009, oil and enamel on canvas, 24x30in (76x61cm)
Image courtesy of {CTS} creative thriftshop |
about the artist: Jack Balas is interested in recontextualizing images of men in a variety of emotional and stylistic scenarios -- a context in which they function as everyman, but are more vulnerable than their surface perfection might suggest. Reaching
beyond the fleeting surface and the idealization associated with youth the work deals with timeless ideas such as: truth, beauty, faith, time, the infinite, what we learn and what we know. Art has the capacity to offer some transcendent spark to bridge the gap between intent and form, between idea and the evidence of our lives. Muse indeed.

Victoria Campillo, Intimacy Series (077 Jackson Pollock), 2006, lambda print, edition of 3, 19x24in (48x60cm)
Image courtesy of {CTS} creative thriftshop |
about the artist: Victoria Campillo is a kind of mad scientist, working in a dizzying almost schizophrenic pace creating series of photographs that number in the hundreds. The themes are limitless, countless, immune to repeating yet are based wholly on the idea of repetition. Her work deals greatly with the unconscious science of visual recognition. Establishing the relationship between the eye and the mind ability and its gravity to process categorization and identification on a primordial level. |
