Untitled is an international curated art fair that focuses on curatorial balance and integrity across all disciplines of contemporary art. Founded in 2012, Untitled selects a curatorial team to identify, and curate a selection of galleries, artist-run exhibition spaces, and non-profit institutions and organizations, in discussion with an architecturally designed venue. The dialogue developed between the curators and architects, and the collaboration with galleries and their artists, creates a diverse range of programming, performances, discussions, events and special artist projects that furthers Untitled's innovative approach to the standard fair model.

Mike Bayne attended Queen's University and received a BAH and BFA in 2001. In 2004, he received an MFA from Concordia University. He has had several solo exhibitions with Katharine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects in Toronto and New York and has participated in a number of group exhibitions in Chicago, NewYork,Vancouver, andToronto. His work is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, and numerous private collections around the world. Mike was the recipient of the Kingston Prize for Portraiture in 2011, and had his work in a solo presentation at The Armory Show, 2012 in New York. His work was also recently featured in group shows at Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston and Galerie de l'UQAM in Montreal.
Kris Knight is a Canadian painter whose work examines performance in relation to the construction, portrayal and boundaries of sexual and asexual identities. Drawing from personal histories of rural escapism through imagination,Knight paints disenchanted characters that are lost between youth and adulthood; they hide their secrets, but desperately long to let them go. His mythical and ambiguous portraits are a synthesis of fantasy and real-world memory; they tiptoe between the dichotomies of pretty and menace, hunter and hunted, innocence and the erotic.
Throughout Knight's professional practice, he has created thematic bodies of work that reference historical notions of regality, mysticism, romanticism and symbolism. He often skews these concepts with contemporary interests in androgyny, fashion, psychotropic alterations and the post-modern gaze. Knight's lustrous classical cum illustrative figurative paintings, stride between a contradicting palette of sensual primaries and ghostly pastels, reflecting his adoration for 18th Century French portraiture and Polaroid film.
Kris Knight spent his youth in six small towns in rural Ontario before moving to Toronto where he currently lives and works. Since graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2003, Knight's practice has concentrated on thematic figurative works that are often as attractive as they are disturbing. In the past eight years he has exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions and various art fairs around the globe.

"Series 1" is a collection of individually framed paintings in which an arm, a string and the ground line up seamlessly where one work meets the next, creating a modular but unified sequence. The paintings are placed freely on shelves and are intended to be handled by the audience. They can be picked up, examined closely, and used to construct new narratives by changing the order that they are in.
