This exhibition has closed

It closed on 4 October 2026. The page stays because an exhibition history is evidence: where a work was shown, and when, is part of its provenance and this archive cites it.

On now at Art Gallery of Ontario: Sunday Best: The Power & The Glory of Black Style.

Visiting Art Gallery of Ontario

Four films by Diego Marcon, born 1985, made with CGI, prosthetics and animatronics, including the new musical Krapfen. Paul Peel's 1884 painting The Bubble Boy, which gave the show its title, is installed inside it. Philip Lind Gallery, Level 1.
