About the Gallery
MKG127 is a contemporary art gallery located in Toronto, Canada. Since 2007, the gallery has emerged as one of the city’s most influential galleries, steered by its artist, curator, and gallerist founder Michael Klein. Their exhibition program includes both Canadian and international artists, with an emphasis on the emerging, the local, and the conceptual. Recent exhibitions include shows by Laurel Woodcock, Alan Belcher, Adam David Brown, Brian Rideout, and Kristiina Lahde. In addition to their physical gallery, MKG127 participate in fairs globally, acting as a conduit between the international art world and Toronto’s local scene.

Expanding upon Rideout’s wildly successful “American Collection” series, these paintings amusingly marry the relationship between commercial advertisements and the history of Art and Painting.
Having spent an inordinate amount of time over the holidays watching Netflix, I find that Dave Dyment’s exhibition at MKG127 makes a lot of sense to me.
Six months ago, Kristiina Lahde created her own toughest act to follow.
Why we might be optimistic about the fair and its continued role in building the audience and appetite for art in this city.
"Semicolon Hyphen Bracket" seemed like it had something to do with grammar, and it did, if only in the sense that the group exhibtion was all about play - including wordplay - and challenging initial perceptions.
Since the Middle Ages, when Christian monks first saw physical labour as a means of contemplating divinity, there has been a connection in Western culture between hard work and profundity. Brown tethers this continuing connection with his own calloused fingers.
