Jarmila Kavena
Jarmila Kavena is a member of The Collective who had a busy early fall as she prepared for her one-month show at the Maison de la culture Plateau Mont-Royal, which opened Oct. 28. The show, part of Jarmila's foundry series, is part of a key interest she is developing in using the foundry as a metaphor. Jarmila's artistic experience and strong interest in the aesthetics of The Collective's process helped us get off to a good start.
Jarmila, who obtained her Masters of Fine Arts from Concordia University in 2001, also had a show last summer at Engine gallery on Queen St. W. in Toronto, one of the hot spots for art in Canada these days. Jarmila's work was also represented by a dealer at the Toronto International Art Fair in the fall.
