Suzy Lake at the Menil Drawing Institute
Suzy Lake’s video The Natural Way to Draw (1975) will be featured in Lines of Resolution: Drawing at the Advent of Television and Video, a group exhibition at the Menil Drawing Institute, co-curated by Associate Curator Kelly Montana and Dr. Anna Lovatt.
The exhibition highlights prominent international artists working during the late 1950s to the 1980s—a period known as the “network era”—when television acted both as a tool of cultural control and a catalyst for political dissent and artistic experimentation. Housed within The Menil Collection, The Menil Drawing Institute is one of the leading museums dedicated to the exhibition, study, and conservation of modern and contemporary works on paper in North America.
Preston Pavlis, solo exhibition at Contemporary Calgary
Bradley Ertaskiran is pleased to highlight Preston Pavlis’s solo exhibition, You there, on view at Contemporary Calgary from September 25, 2025 to February 15, 2026. Curated by Kanika Anand, Senior Curator at Contemporary Calgary, the presentation marks Pavlis’s first major institutional solo exhibition.
You there features a new body of work continuing Pavlis’ fusion of painting and textiles. Painted on one side and quilted on the other, Pavlis’s painted compositions are richly textured, while the quilted side is stitched from worn pieces of clothing, each bearing traces of touch and use. Pavlis’ subjects are drawn from the artist’s home in Halifax, where moments of quiet abandonment surface in both the ordinary and the unexpected.

Dawit L. Petros, solo exhibition at Remai Modern and the University of Saskatchewan, College Art Galleries
September 3, 2025
From the Edge of the Horizon, a major solo exhibition by Dawit L. Petros, will be presented in two parts at the Remai Modern and the University of Saskatchewan, College Art Galleries. This exhibition traces the arc of Petros’ career, gathering works that chart his longstanding inquiry into geography, identity, and migration.
The exhibition’s title refers to a recurring motif in his work: the horizon line, which, for Petros, is not just a visual or geographic marker of perspective, but a site where colonial and contemporary histories of displacement intersect and co-mingle. Drawing connections between local geographies and global histories, the works in the exhibition invite viewers to consider how we see and interpret real and imagined borders, and how those borders shape both individual and collective identities. They also prompt reflection on the act of looking itself—asking us to consider how framing, distance, and point of view affect what we understand about place, history, and belonging.

Bony Ramirez represented by Bradley Ertaskiran
26 June 2025
Bradley Ertaskiran is delighted to announce the representation of Bony Ramirez. Having collaborated closely since 2021 — most recently on Ramirez’s solo exhibition Le Grand Corail — we are thrilled to continue championing the bold and resonant work of this artist.
Born in Teneres, Salcedo, Dominican Republic, and currently working in Jersey City, New Jersey, Ramirez draws from a myriad of sources to populate his rich, fantastical scenes; his rural upbringing in the Dominican Republic, his first encounters with Catholic imagery, and his interest in Italian mannerism, Renaissance portraiture, and children’s illustrations reverberate within and around the heavily-stylized figures in which Ramirez has become known. Amidst a changing theatre of symbolic surroundings and colourful backdrops of Caribbean imagery, Ramirez’s scenes are often interspersed with sculptural appendages, which either complement the playfulness and idyllicism of his work, such as colourful beads, or contrast it by penetrating it with violence, such as knives stabbed through the canvas.
Ramirez has exhibited at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (Texas), the Newark Museum of Art (New Jersey), François Ghebaly (Los Angeles), Bank/MabSociety (Shanghai), Bradley Ertaskiran (Montreal), and Jeffrey Deitch (New York), among others. His work is housed in the permanent collection of the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Newark Museum of Art, the Frye Art Museum (Seattle), the Perez Art Museum (Miami), and the X Museum in Beijing.
Ramirez’s work is currently on view in the exhibition Counter History at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, in a major intergenerational showcase celebrating works from the MFA’s permanent collection.
We are also thrilled to share that following Ramirez’s recent solo exhibition Cattleya at the Newark Museum of Art, the museum has acquired Allegory of Liberation (2024) for its permanent collection.
Dawit L. Petros Participating in the Liverpool Biennial 2025

Bradley Ertaskiran is pleased to announce Dawit L. Petros’s participation in the 13th edition of the Liverpool Biennial, taking place June 7 to September 14, 2025, curated by Marie-Anne McQuay.
The Liverpool Biennial is the largest festival of contemporary art in the United Kingdom, showcasing international artists through a curated programme of exhibitions and public art projects. For this edition of the Liverpool Biennial, Petros debuts a new installation, As the Nile Flows or the Camel Walks, at the historic Hornby Library. An exploration of imperial archives, the work engages with this year’s themes of belonging, inheritance, and the enduring legacies of colonialism.
