The Red Head Gallery is excited to announce an exhibition exchange with the plan.d. produzentengalerie collective based in Dusseldorf, Germany.

From July 19 to August 5, the Red Head Gallery welcomes artists from plan.d. to exhibit in our gallery space at 401 Richmond St. West, Toronto. The Red Head Gallery collective artists will be presenting their works in Germany at plan.d.’s gallery, October 21 – November 12, 2023. Node applies to the shared similarities and differences evident in the coming together of these two collectives. Node is also the theme for each collective’s exhibition.

The multimedia artworks and installations by plan.d. and Red Head will include interpretations of ‘node’, ranging from math, to botany, to computer engineering, to medicine, and to social media. At its essence the concepts of intersection, confluence, and divergence will be brought together and distilled in their far-ranging exhibition.

There will be a collaborative installation by Red Head Gallery artists included in the exhibition responding to prompts/instructions sent by plan.d. members. Collectively, all Red Head members will create a single piece that incorporates all their reactions to the prompts.

plan.d. is an exhibition space and forum for artistic exchange. In addition to the commercial gallery landscape, plan.d.’s aim is to create a free representational space to show interesting and unusual art projects. The focus is on the exchange of ideas with artists at home and abroad. plan.d. was founded in 1999 as a “producer gallery” by master students and other autodidacts. Since 2001 they have been operating a modified “artists as gallery owners” concept.

Eleven plan. d. artists will be exhibiting their imagery, with 3 traveling to Toronto to be part of the event in person.

plan.d Artists:
Aljoscha Gößling, Andrea Isa, Christian Psyk, Heike Ludewig, Jyrg Munter, Katrin Laade, Maria, Lentzen, Peter Clouth, Simone Schroff, Sonja Tintelnot, Utta Hagen

Accessibility Information

The Red Head Gallery

Accessible

The Red Head Gallery was established in 1990 and is Toronto’s most enduring collectively run art gallery. It has stood the test of time as an exhibition space as well as a collective where critically engaged, highly productive artists enjoy curatorial control over the presentation of their work. Over the past two decades more than 100 artists have been part of The Red Head Gallery and have produced over 200 exhibitions.

There are two accessible entrances to 401 Richmond. At the northwest corner of the building, a ramp leads upward from the sidewalk to an automatic entrance onto the building’s main floor that measures 34″ wide, and with a lip that measures 1″ high. The other entrance at the northeast corner is less evident but equally, if not more, accessible. The automatic door measures 34″ wide and inside has a gradual ramp downwards which leads towards the elevators.
