Electricity is Magic Gallery

Call for Entries
Electricity is Magic (EiM) was founded in 2009 by Eric Powell and Matt Griffin, primarily as a vehicle to release their own experimental electronic and electroacoustic music. Quickly, however, it grew to be a curatorial project, and, since late 2009, EiM have been putting on art and performance events throughout North America.

EiM has expanded and will be presenting gallery shows at its (semi-)permanent home at the EiM Gallery, located at 715 Richmond St. W. in Toronto, ON.

The aim of the gallery space is to continue to present works that don’t necessarily fit comfortably within a traditional gallery context. Artists will be given the challenge of presenting work which engages with or reacts to the living space of the apartment. They are particularly interested in work which employs some aspect of technological mediation, but not necessarily as the impetus for the piece. They are also interested in slow art, which not only requests, but often demands, and always reminds us of the pleasure in sustained viewing of a particular work.


Call for works is ongoing and they invite submissions from individual artists, collectives, or curators to submit proposals for the EiM Gallery. Their space is non-traditional, and as such, they have some unique parameters for artists to contend with.

Public Call: Day of Museum Solidarity – March 4

Call to Participate

The organization CULTURESHUTDOWN is calling museums and galleries worldwide to participate in their important international cultural awareness campaign. This campaign is a reaction to the acute crisis affecting major cultural institutions in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The safety of precious artifacts and heritage are at stake. To learn more visit http://www.cultureshutdown.net/public-call-day-of-museum-solidarity/.

CULTURESHUTDOWN calls on you and other museums across the globe to demonstrate your solidarity with threatened Bosnian cultural institutions by symbolically “erasing” one precious artwork or artifact, rendering it inaccessible for the Day of Museum Solidarity.

Hurry the deadline is February 22nd! To participate please visit http://www.cultureshutdown.net/public-call-day-of-museum-solidarity/ and fill out the form to receive the CULTURESHUTDOWN logo tape to display.  

On March 1, place the yellow barricade tape in front of the chosen object (ranging from a dinosaurs skeleton to a painting, depending on your collection and your choice). Take a picture of the “crossed out” object and send it to info@cultureshutdown.net. The “crossed out” artifact should be publicly visible in your institution from March 1 – 3 (customizable sign available on their website as well).  The collected pictures of Museum Solidarity across the world will be posted on the CULTURESHUTDOWN website on Monday March 4, the scheduled Day of Museum Solidarity. As many museums are closed on Mondays, our global campaign will take the form of a virtual collective exhibition on CULTURESHUTDOWN website.
