Our autumn exhibition presents Sources, a light installation by Andrés Ramírez Gaviria, realised with the support of Phileas for the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art in Canada. Curator Allison Glenn met Gaviria during a research trip to Vienna as part of our Visitor Programme and invited him to participate in the biennial, where Sources is presented at two key locations: the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, and the CN Tower, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
In Sources, Gaviria translates radio waves emitted by distant celestial bodies into a sculptural light installation. Signals from various cosmic objects, which travelled many billions of light years before reaching Earth and being recorded by astronomers, appear here as modulating light signals with changing frequencies and intervals.
