Miner for A Heart
Exhibition as part of Impact7 International Inter-Disciplinary Printmaking Conference
The exhibition, Miner for a Heart, exhibited as part of Impact7 International Inter-Disciplinary Printmaking Conference at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and curated by Open Studio member Yael Brotman, brings together ten print-based artists whose work and histories have intertwined with the print community at Open Studio in Toronto, Canada. The ten artists included are Nadine Bariteau, Yael Brotman, Janet Cardiff, Libby Hague, Christopher Hutsul, Ed Pien, Richard Sewell, Penelope Stewart, Ho Tam and Jeannie Thib. Their places of origin vary from international (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Israel and USA), to national (British Columbia and Quebec), to provincial (North Bay and Brussels, ON). All of the artists who relocated to Toronto mirrored the immigrant narrative that was being enacted on the broader societal stage. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition; check back soon for information regarding an official launch for the catalogue and purchasing information.
