> ON THE WALL

Lingering summer doldrums keep the opening schedule light, but only for the moment. Things pile on in earnest in the next few weeks but, for now, enjoy the sparseness of your viewing options, while the FOMO quotient remains low.

OPENING

Alex McLeod: McLeod is a virtuoso of virtual rendering, known for creating impossible, candy-coated worlds oozing with digital ick. His new show, Honeymoon, extends his practice into sculpture and video, teasing at the space between the real, the imagined and, with the increasing sophistication of digital tools, the possible. Opening Thursday from 6-9 p.m. at Division Gallery, 45 Ernest Ave.

LAST CHANCE

3DXL: Few can argue that 3D printing has changed the world for everyone from product designers to architects, but how about the rest of us?

The Design Exchange’s 3DXL exhibition suggests some of the mesmerizing possibilities, not the least of which is Arabesque Wall, where classical building mouldings have been warped into a visceral, prehensile gnarl that suggests nothing so much as a dormant alien.

Closes Sunday at the Design Exchange, 363 King St. W.

Out of Line: A tidy little pun encapsulates the museum’s clever summer show on the state of contemporary drawing, which aside from being resurgent is diverse, cheeky and more than a little enthralling (see Kelly Wallace’s captivating, entropic graphite works, built bit by bit from stock-straight vertical lines).

Among the 30-plus artists here are local heroes Ed Pien, Shary Boyle (in a collaboration with Shuvinai Ashoona), Derek Sullivan and Ken Nicol. Closes Sept. 5 at Oakville Galleries, 1306 Lakeshore Rd. E.

Arabesque Wall, a 3D printed gnarl of mouldings made for 3DXL, an exhibit of 3D printing possibilities at the Design Exchange.

Alex McLeod’s digital composition Universe, 2015, on view at Division Gallery starting this week.
