6 - 9 p.m. at the Art Gallery of York University. The exhibition remains on view until
6 June 2010.

Winnipeg-bred, Montreal-based artist Daniel Barrow uses obsolete technologies
to present written, pictorial and cinematic narratives centering on the practices
of drawing and collecting. Since 1993, he has created and adapted comic book narratives to "manual" forms of animation by projecting, layering and manipulating drawings on overhead projectors. Barrow has exhibited widely in Canada and abroad.
He has performed at The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), PS1 Contemporary Art Center (New York), The Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), The International Film Festival Rotterdam, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art's 2009 TBA festival,
and the Gene Siskel Film Center (Chicago). Barrow is the 2007 winner of the Canada Council's Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton award and the 2008 winner of the Images Festival's Images Prize. Barrow is represented by Jessica Bradley Art + Projects, Toronto.
