When the lockdown began, I made a promise to myself: not to let the Covid-19 virus slow me down. While the quarantine forced me to stay inside, it couldn't shut me down emotionally, creatively, spiritually, or economically. I embarked on a journey of learning, doing, and creating as much as I possibly could. I dedicated myself to developing my skills so that the virus and the fear surrounding it wouldn't affect me personally. If the world shut down, I would create my own. That's how this sculptural art project came to life—a 1:18 scale cityscape constructed entirely from discarded materials. <img width="800" height="482" width_o="800" height_o="482"

cardboard, plastic bits, Legos, toys, and other trash that could be transformed into objects needed to create a realistic urban setting. The aesthetic of this piece pays homage to the architectural style and utility of the Parkdale neighborhood while also recognizing the many amazing artists who have been born and raised here. Throughout the pandemic, I completed 10 buildings that depict my jumbled childhood memories of what Parkdale resembled before gentrification hit it like a bomb. Each building tells a story, reflecting the neighborhood's journey from a low-income, working-class area with numerous social housing units for new immigrants to an upscale enclave specializing in boutique living. Unfortunately, the neighborhood I grew up in did not make it through these unprecedented times, and what we have lost is now gone forever. <img width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800"

gallery to exhibit my latest piece. I ultimately chose to work with Northern Contemporary Gallery, as I had developed a fondness for their curating staff during past collaborations, and they offered me a great deal on a weekly rate. Setting up the show proved to be a bit of an ordeal. I was determined to enclose the piece with plywood, cut in a style resembling construction hoarding that typically surrounds a building under renovation. However, this process turned out to be more time-consuming and laborious than I had initially envisioned. I made the mistake of assembling the plywood box before painting the wood, which almost destroyed the piece when I tried to take it apart by myself. With some help, I was able to paint the box and stage the piece in a satisfactory manner. Although it wasn't exactly how I had imagined it, it created a separation of space and time, as I intended. Merely placing the work on a table for passive observation felt inadequate to engage the audience. Therefore, I surrounded the city with hoarding, forcing viewers to interact with the sculpture as active participants, requiring them to decode and map the city through six obstructed diamond-shaped views. Some participants felt that the lack of visibility hindered their appreciation for the piece. Yet, I found comfort in this feedback, as my intention was to create a puzzle that only the most observant could assemble. The desire of many patrons to consume the piece without obstruction demonstrates the selfishness that contemporary culture breeds in all of us, urging us to devour copious amounts of content without considering its meaning. In the digital age, the act of slowly nourishing our intellectual abilities and visual literacy by carefully deconstructing the information we choose to consume seems to be an act of blasphemy. Exhibiting this rendition of Covid City at Northern Contemporary Gallery was a fulfilling experience. I was heartened by the reception the piece received from the many strangers who stumbled upon the gallery. I look forward to continuing to build new objects for Covid City and assembling them in even more obstructed and intriguing ways. &nbsp; Through its intricate design and deliberate obstructions, the artwork challenges viewers to actively engage with it, highlighting the contemporary culture's tendency to consume content without meaningful reflection. Covid City's exhibition at Northern Contemporary Gallery was met with enthusiasm and offers a glimpse into the artist's ongoing exploration and evolution within this unique urban landscape. <img

of the modern society's relentless cycle of consumption and disposal, both in terms of material goods and intangible aspects like information and emotions. Through the incorporation of found objects and mixed media, I craft thought-provoking artworks that challenge societal norms and prompt introspection.

installations, paintings, and collages, I aimed to create a visual narrative that embodies the spirit of a society in decline. Each piece in this exhibition serves as a microcosm, reflecting the larger forces at play in the world, ultimately leading to its own demise.&nbsp; By transforming physical spaces within the gallery, I aimed to elicit a sense of unease and introspection, inviting viewers to question the stability of their own surroundings and the underlying fragility of societal structures.&nbsp; "Game Over" is a meditation on the ephemeral nature of existence and the inevitability of societal decline. It reflects the paradoxical beauty that emerges from decay and the intricate narratives hidden within the remnants of forgotten worlds. Through this exhibition, I aimed to provoke contemplation and introspection, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own place within a larger, ever-changing social landscape. <img width="362"

Northern Contemporary Gallery. My ultimate goal was to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the tabboo topics and probelmatic themes that have been birthed by our profoundly sick society. Hopefuy the more we confront the monsterous nature of the human existence the sooner we may work toward creating a more just and ardent society for all. https://davemauz.com/Love-Thy-Neighbour Wed, 20 Jul 2022 19:06:14 +0000 Dave Mauz https://davemauz.com/Love-Thy-Neighbour LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR *Please Note: The intention of this artwork is to raise awareness about the negative impacts of stereotypes, Xenophobia and racial predjudice.

Will a more just and ardent society emerge if we cease to divide society through the monetization of hate and begin to divide them through the moentization of pseudo equity and corporate social jusitce? The sanitization of the past will not disenfect the future. Sadly those who do not know the past they will be condemmed to repeat it. This artwork serves as a catalyst for introspection, urging us to question the origins and motivations behind the stereotypes we encounter. By examining these stereotypes with nuance and sensitivity, we create an environment that fosters dialogue and encourages us to challenge our own beliefs. In conclusion, it is vital to resist the urge to censor or restrict access to challenging ideas simply based on personal discomfort. By embracing intellectual freedom, we celebrate the diversity of perspectives that contribute to our societal fabric. Critics have raised concerns about the perpetuation of harmful narratives in this artwork, and I appreciate their perspectives. However, I firmly believe in the power of intellectual freedom and the necessity of engaging in open discourse. By amplifying these uncomfortable narratives, the artist sheds light on the consequences of our collective failure to embrace diversity and dismantle harmful stereotypes. <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8690c22b0832998215308b56567dfdac52d18036a5fb3b31845b346af7cea7a9/PA038438.JPG" data-mid="166545709" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8690c22b0832998215308b56567dfdac52d18036a5fb3b31845b346af7cea7a9/PA038438.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f4fa3a8a812629184f4459b3230b510114f24fa63ef42ff147bee1d705bb7cf/PA038439.JPG" data-mid="166545714" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f4fa3a8a812629184f4459b3230b510114f24fa63ef42ff147bee1d705bb7cf/PA038439.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/825675ff79571925e3715be5f63e05c8ba21bed9b350d964a20c34a871175bb7/PA038440.JPG" data-mid="166545716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/825675ff79571925e3715be5f63e05c8ba21bed9b350d964a20c34a871175bb7/PA038440.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23ee59f783d3f31c3519c7081ddb82d0e6fd068d2e464e196344375a7eafd4e0/PA038441.JPG" data-mid="166545719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23ee59f783d3f31c3519c7081ddb82d0e6fd068d2e464e196344375a7eafd4e0/PA038441.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4224796b87d3699508dc9c7f1a9fce131f0d94e7896f285ecbf61e49211b0e62/PA038442.JPG" data-mid="166545720" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4224796b87d3699508dc9c7f1a9fce131f0d94e7896f285ecbf61e49211b0e62/PA038442.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/974419b7c9164076d65516f0edee592c35f12eb849ea70dcc2564e4937c97b1e/PA038450.JPG" data-mid="166545749" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/974419b7c9164076d65516f0edee592c35f12eb849ea70dcc2564e4937c97b1e/PA038450.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe28fe7d4aac8204a4b5fdac0be656ec5b82aac6aa408a8fdc1c5af891c585f4/PA038444.JPG" data-mid="166545726" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe28fe7d4aac8204a4b5fdac0be656ec5b82aac6aa408a8fdc1c5af891c585f4/PA038444.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bcded94969ea89a22b628e462bae9573bb48f883783075ad0e7a09fada44d653/PA038445.JPG" data-mid="166545727" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bcded94969ea89a22b628e462bae9573bb48f883783075ad0e7a09fada44d653/PA038445.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d16df3ca837ff9a65c8d8adfb0ce181baa846a8ea33a69e5adc06033c8f09294/PA038447.JPG" data-mid="166545729" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d16df3ca837ff9a65c8d8adfb0ce181baa846a8ea33a69e5adc06033c8f09294/PA038447.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c503e1d7e0acbdc1d3245cf3cf70f92958aac93a23f32cd4aee3eb86d8639719/PA038443.JPG" data-mid="166545724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c503e1d7e0acbdc1d3245cf3cf70f92958aac93a23f32cd4aee3eb86d8639719/PA038443.JPG" /> While some argue against challenging societal norms without considering the potential harm caused by triggering trauma for survivors of the depicted stereotypes or exacerbating existing prejudices, I believe it is crucial to recognize and not deny the spectrum of ideas that permeate our society. While we should take into account the emotional well-being and safety of individuals who have historically faced discrimination and stereotypes, it should not be used as a tool to suppress the expression of artists. <img width="640" height="449" width_o="640" height_o="449"

cultural concerns, we risk falling into a state similar to countries such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, where art is heavily censored and freedom of expression is severely restricted. In a liberal democracies there should be no fear of retribuion when it comes to using our imagination to create images or construct sentences. Artists should strive to create work that fosters dialogue and understanding, while also recognizing the potential harm that can be caused by perpetuating harmful narratives. However, it is not the artist’s responsibility to be concerned with the fragile sensibilities held by certain viewers. It is through thoughtful and responsible artistic expression, free from the constraints of dogmatic ideological frameworks, that we can truly challenge societal norms and promote positive change. Censorship and digital puritanism should never be allowed to stifle creative expression. It is crucial to reject the authoritarian impulses that can be seen within corporations, governments, institutional bureaucracies, and activist groups. Instead, we should embrace intellectual freedom and encourage open discourse, allowing for the flourishing of diverse ideas and perspectives. By upholding this standard, we can push the boundaries, challenge prevailing norms, and foster a more inclusive and enlightened society. https://davemauz.com/Sonic-Jihad Wed, 20 Jul 2022 19:06:54

figures, reminiscent of the popular American army toys of yesteryear. However, their purpose transcends mere recreation, offering a lens through which to examine the dissonance between violence and visual allure. It is important to note that this endeavor does not seek to glorify or romanticize jihadist terror groups, but rather serves as a vessel for deeper contemplation. <img width="480" height="640"

figurines becomes an unexpected focal point, inviting reflection on the captivating allure found even amidst acts of terror. Through an impartial lens, I attempt to expose the paradoxical nature of extremist aesthetics, prompting viewers to confront their own preconceived notions and biases. "Sonic Jihad" steadfastly maintains a neutral stance, demonstrating an equal measure of disdain for both sides embroiled in this long-standing strife. In doing so, it emphasizes the unsettling reality that both factions possess a distinct ability to create visually captivating elements, even within the context of their monstrous actions. This collection defies conventional narratives, eschewing simplistic notions of right or wrong. Instead, it urges viewers to engage in critical discourse, provoking nuanced conversations on the complexities of conflict and the alluring power of visual symbolism. <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/259732b2c2e9d2424eb347920c9c1668bb8095e7d461c8850f3bda609dbb8a5f/IMG_1193.JPG" data-mid="166546103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/259732b2c2e9d2424eb347920c9c1668bb8095e7d461c8850f3bda609dbb8a5f/IMG_1193.JPG" /> <img width="4000" height="3000" width_o="4000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d7c9331f38ce6ad1c7a0926a140e402fa0e5005abb5a010636a746c67b807fc/IMG_1201.JPG" data-mid="166546120" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8d7c9331f38ce6ad1c7a0926a140e402fa0e5005abb5a010636a746c67b807fc/IMG_1201.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/be9be8ef9aca187db58fe4f71f63d34e6cba1921aeca24c8359fa27bf2a0a237/IMG_1565.JPG" data-mid="166546128" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/be9be8ef9aca187db58fe4f71f63d34e6cba1921aeca24c8359fa27bf2a0a237/IMG_1565.JPG" /> <img width="549" height="640" width_o="549" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ee7c27964a57fc620a632f467e2e99286830e4dd5e8f61c9497ce31c9afdbaad/IMG_1570.jpg" data-mid="166546130" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/549/i/ee7c27964a57fc620a632f467e2e99286830e4dd5e8f61c9497ce31c9afdbaad/IMG_1570.jpg" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9d6bc68aa14922b6ec21ac0be38315fb3728773679aa0f5c5644626381184a2/IMG_1573.JPG" data-mid="166546156" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c9d6bc68aa14922b6ec21ac0be38315fb3728773679aa0f5c5644626381184a2/IMG_1573.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05e0ef5c1969c385977f404a3aeaf8c8e1b4c4e38b6005d62aaacfb4c9960c54/IMG_1502.JPG" data-mid="166546123" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05e0ef5c1969c385977f404a3aeaf8c8e1b4c4e38b6005d62aaacfb4c9960c54/IMG_1502.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a7bc91124ebbbb52028abd8eec0a9f5a5aaf4fd17a164656ec64ae43d4841d4/IMG_1486.JPG" data-mid="166546121" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a7bc91124ebbbb52028abd8eec0a9f5a5aaf4fd17a164656ec64ae43d4841d4/IMG_1486.JPG" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/531e528110827c3cb1b0d965e19816c8e2951bb3e2f2f6e580e9b3ad364a7d2d/IMG_1489.JPG" data-mid="166546122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/531e528110827c3cb1b0d965e19816c8e2951bb3e2f2f6e580e9b3ad364a7d2d/IMG_1489.JPG" /> By immersing oneself in the intricacies of this toy line, one embarks on a journey of critical examination and introspection. "Sonic Jihad" prompts thoughtful conversations about themes such as resistance, oppression, and the relentless pursuit of “freedom” by both sides of this bloody conflict.&nbsp; It was my goal to foster empathy, cultural understanding, and an appreciation for the nuanced complexities of this conflict. By amplifying narratives that are often overlooked or misunderstood, "Sonic Jihad: Hamas Fighters" invites us to embrace a broader perspective and engage in meaningful conversations about the human experiences behind the headlines.
