Three distinct bodies of work arose from Frank Mädler’s time in Lima, Peru at the De Al Lado residency. Inspired by the tropical colors, minimal forms, and local materials, Mädler returned to Germany and began creating an array of photographs laden with distinct Latin iconography. References to cultural symbols and elements, such as the quipu and the immense fog that engulfs Lima’s coast, were reborn in Mädler’s darkroom, as he began to reflect on the colors, shapes, and sounds of Peru.

In conjunction with Gallery Weekend Toronto, Corkin Gallery will present a roundtable discussion with artist Christian Butterfield, artist, writer, and curator Anique Jordan, Art Gallery of Ontario Assistant Curator Renata Azevedo Moreira, and art historian and University of Toronto Adjunct Professor Dr. Sarah Stanners.
