Group Exhibition – The Breadth of Distance

I am very glad to announce that I have a group exhibition. The Breadth of Distance, at L Space, Humber Galleries, Toronto

Exhibition: February 4, 2019 – April 5, 2019
Opening:  Wednesday, February 6th, 5-8pm
Curated by: Alize Zorlutuna
Address: Humber College, Lakeshore Campus L Building, 19 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive, Toronto, ON M8V 4B

we carry continents,
cross oceans,
traverse vast distances while still.

the scent of comfort,
is also longing.
what goes unsaid,
a kind of knowing.

how do elsewheres live in the body?

in dreams?
half-remembered tongues.
in what cannot be named.

Bringing together photography, video, installation, and sculpture, these artworks shift across geographies, cultural perspectives, and time. Considering grief, longing, care and resilience, they articulate how relationships to place, representation, and belief shape who we are and how we move in the present.

This exhibition asks us to reckon with how we came to be here on this land. Whether we are Indigenous, multi-generational settlers, or recent immigrants, our current moment demands we think through how we might build mutual understanding and empathy while recognizing our many differences.

D’où viens-tu? brings together three artists committed in their practice: Pierre Chaumont, Dayna Danger and Chun Hua Catherine Dong. Through photography, installation and performance, their works address power relations between individuals and the notion of norms in our globalized world. They interrogate how colonialism, patriarchy and heteronormativity interfere in our relationships with each other to create situations of exclusion and normalized violence. Using charm, provocation or intimidation, the artists take a critical and political stance that is much needed in a consensual society such as ours.

Showing the works Mosul, Big’Uns and The Arrival in the same exhibition space sheds light on their common strategies for reappropriating the body as territory of identity, sexuality and history. From here and elsewhere, three artists with three languages present themselves in a new space defined by them, within them. This space of the “Other” unites the differences of each, deactivating codes and norms, and opening
