Ghost House A Special Pop-Up Exhibition & Screening
Featuring new work by Carolyn Tripp

159 Manning Ave, August 20th & 21st, 2017

Exhibition Times
2pm – 10pm August 20th & 4pm – 7pm August 21st

Screening
“Secret Ghosts Pt 1.” 9pm (after dark) August 20th in the backyard

Tim McCready’s 159 space will host a very special pop-up exhibition and screening. The exhibition Ghost House will be a mixture of sights and sounds. A spooky slow jam for summer.

Launching a new series of work only seen on social media, Secret Ghosts is a multi-part project in which specters and characters wonder about their own "post-body" existence within a contemporary, consumerist framework. The backyard screening will feature a 7-minute animation Secret Ghosts Pt. 1 that will be screened for the first time in Toronto on Sunday, August 20th at 9pm.

Tim McCready has graciously granted the use of 159 rooms for a special pop-up exhibition that will compliment the screening. Ghost House will occupy the first two rooms of the legendary space and will be open for visitors to explore new media, drawings, and site-specific work.  

Visitors are invited to move slowly in the warmth of the house and join us outside after dark for more hauntings. Bring your own blanket. Refreshments will be available to beat the heat. The exhibition and screening are open to all and 100% free!

This exhibition is hosted by Tim McCready and 159 Manning with additional support by Curatorial Supervisor Rachel Fender, Technical Supervisor Brady Bothwell, with special thanks to Ed Video and Scott McGovern.

Ghost House is generously supported via the Ontario Arts Council Exhibition Assistance program.
