Circularity of (un)knowing:
An exploration of embodied knowledge in untitled spaces
July 30th - August 27th, 2022
Brought together by mihyun maria kim and Claire Heidinger, Circularity of (un)knowing: An exploration of embodied knowledge in untitled spaces comprises the work of five emerging IBPOC artists, all women, who either reside in or have a connection to Toronto. These artists exemplify a diverse new generation of figurative art dedicated to diversity and the resultant themes of identity and its embodiment.
Although these artists work in a range of media—from ceramics to found objects—painting as the foundational language of each artist is visible throughout. And the human figure is central (the subjects being primarily women and non-white) to an exhibition exploring the embodiment of knowledge systems via ideologies and internalized cultural values. The gap between ancestral knowledge and current cultural awareness renders the work unknown in a contemporary context. But these five artists reclaim the unknown in a circular dialogue between what has been lost and what is now understood and thus between dual cultural identities and, in turn, between the centre and its margins.
