Johnson Jesuthason of DHC/ART

Johnson Jesuthason is a familiar face to visitors of the DHC/ART Foundation. Having started out as a security guard, his curiosity for contemporary art has led him to a role that involves conversing with gallery visitors, providing insight and information. I spoke with Johnson about his experience working at the DHC. We also talked about the current exhibition on view, the first retrospective in Canada devoted to artist Joan Jonas.

Airing Thursday May 5th, 2-3pm.

Dayna Danger! Live on CKUT!

We are very excited to be joined live in studio by artist Dayna Danger for the April edition of the show. Danger is perhaps best known for her large-scale photographs whose conspiratorial protagonists dominate each compelling and elaborately constructed scene.
