    ANDPVA presents a new series by Travis Shilling on the third and fourth floor of the Gladstone hotel. Join us this Thursday evening for Caramel corn, music and an exciting new series presented for the first time in Toronto.

    How to drown a fish
    A new series by Travis Shilling
    Opening Thursday February 10, 7-9 pm

    Travis Shilling could almost be called a paint chronicler. He captures the hidden in the visible––aftereffects and fallouts from events real and imagined. Shilling’s series How to drown a fish, marks out territories of disaster and survival. Asking how one drowns a fish is asking the impossible because human and animal alike always adapt to inner and outer hardship. Still, people try to drown a fish everyday, through damaging the environment or self-destruction. A filmmaker and playwright, Travis' work reflects a rich insight and exceptional skill. His short film "Bear Tung", featuring Gary Farmer, was a selection in the 2011 National Museum of American Indian in NYC as well as the Santa fe independent film festival in October. Travis was born in Rama, Ontario: the second of two artist sons of acclaimed Aboriginal artist Arthur Shilling. Travis has exhibited since age 21 in Canada, Europe and the US. He travels between a studio in Rama and one in Toronto. www.travisshilling.com
