Canadian Craft Biennial : Nothing is Newer than Tradition

August 21, 2017 by Brittany MacDougall

Nothing is Newer than Tradition presents work that opens up an experience of craft history, where the making of objects critically intersects with both our past and present cultural, social and political ways of being in the world. Craft traditions of making are deeply rooted in identities and cultures that extend beyond current national boundaries and conventions, and remain critical in presenting work that enriches and reflects our lives today. Through the work of sixteen emerging makers, the exhibition explores how craft materials, tools and processes are creatively reiterated through the hands of a new generation of makers.

Juried by David Kaye, Laura Kukkee and Rachael Wong, Nothing is Newer than Tradition includes the work of:

Lina Maria Avendano

Andrée Chénier

Naomi Clement

Hannah Epstein

Agnes Xiaoyan Guan

Hamilton Holmes

Joon Hee Kim

Brittany MacDougall

Matthew McIntyre

Fuzzy Mall

Chroma Lives is a performative exploration of Toronto’s 1983 exhibition Chromaliving: New Designs for Living. Chromaliving, curated by the late artist Tim Jocelyn, Andy Fabo, and the figurative painting collective ChromaZone, was staged in a vacant retail space in Toronto’s Bloor Street Colonnade. Featuring 150 artists, Chromaliving took the form of a hallucinogenic home décor show, with imaginative room environments parading influential artistic movements and commercial enterprises of the twentieth century. The labyrinth-like setting of domestic room displays deliberately challenged the hierarchies of fine overapplied art and design, making gentle parodies of both.

Chroma Lives calls attention to the individuals behind the furnishings and the subsequent generations of Canadian artists who work in this vein. For the month of June, Chroma Lives will remobilize Chromaliving’s formula for theatricalizing domestic space by staging a workspace in the sales centre of the new Yorkville Plaza at 21 Avenue Road—a few blocks away from the Colonnade—filling it with furnishings by contemporary Toronto-based artists and designers. The site will function both as a public exhibition space and an oral history hub where the curators will conduct recorded interviews with Chromaliving participants, spectators, and critics. Archival documentation will be collected in conjunction with oral testimonies, allowing subjective histories to determine the course of data collection. The project will culminate in an online digital archive following the event.

Commissioned by Dutch arts organization If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution in conjunction with their programming edition Event and Duration, Chroma Lives is presented in partnership with Camrost Felcorp, and supported by the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts.
