Olivia Aguiar

“Both obsession and impossibility coalesce within the image. In 𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, a Window Space exhibition at Xpace Cultural Centre, Olivia Aguiar takes this as form—fleshing out the entanglement between desire, grief, and the feminine experience. Reflecting on the passing of her beloved childhood dog, Journey, Aguiar plays on the double meaning of the work’s title, “Sweetest Girl in the World,” to expose the social desires of softness, innocence, and purity that are projected onto the feminine.”
– Excerpt from essay by Yoona

📍Opening Reception: Friday, May 15, 2026 from 7pm–10pm

𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴: 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦 brings together three bodies of work from my ongoing research project 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴, which examines how online platforms turn bodies into both material and medium for endless cycles of production and consumption. Using collected TikTok videos, the exhibition reimagines these digital bodies through three abstract forms—experimental video, large-scale collage, and a projection-based media installation. Together, the works translate scrolling rhythms into a physical environment of loops, density, and pulsation. The exhibition invites audiences to linger beyond a single scroll, sitting with desire’s repetition while reflecting on (and resisting) the compulsion to consume.

The project and exhibition are generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟲–𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
📍Opening Reception: Friday, May 15, 2026 from 7pm–10pm

Slipping between states of presence, the previous feeling trailing into the next, and finding a future behind our backs. Grief is remembering a presence, remembering is forgetting an absence, and each lingering sensation welcomes a new feeling. So where do we go from here, when each day lasts forever, ending and beginning again?

𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌/𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘙/𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘠 is a participatory exhibition rooted in repetition, spatial perception, and gestures of intimacy. Anchoring the cyclical process of 𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘝𝘌/𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘙/𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘠 are works by Winta Hagos, Trâm Anh Nguyễn, Bahar Enshaeian, Sabine Spare, and artistic duo Farida Rady and Darian Razdar.
