General Hardware Contemporary 1520 Queen St W Toronto M6R 1A4   http://generalhardware.ca/ 

In a series of Edenic landscapes, figures appear both present and absent. These strange and magical compositions are a result of documenting a series of temporary interventions with mirror sculptures.. Maslen & Mehra will present a new installation piece which references research trips to Algonquin Park Canada and Epping Forest London, UK. As always, the artists continue to question our place in the world as we push our relationship with the environment to the limit. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new text by John K Grande.
