Artist in Residence:
Home & Away (& In-Between)
All Citizens is very pleased to have the opportunity to contribute a photo-based installation to the Home & Away (& In-Between) show curated by Tara Bursey in conjunction with City of Craft 2009. The work on display includes a large photo of the All Citizens/Senior Citizens facades set alongside a grid of twenty-one 8″x10″ photos showcasing things sold on consignment in the shop. Items range from Bruno-made tatting by retired school teacher & cowboy poet Bernadette Greuel to Toronto-made photocopied drawing zines by Jason McLean. The photos (all shot against black velvet and framed in shadow boxes) represent a wide range of approaches and attitudes towards art and craft. We originally produced this installation, along with a time lapse DVD projection and a book based on Serena’s blog Going Rural, for the exhibit IN ESSENCE… curated by Amber Andersen in March for The Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba. Home & Away (& In-Between) includes work by artists Lizz Aston, Fiona Bailey, Amy Borkwood, Leah Buckareff, Marta Chudolinska, Heather Fagan, Meags Fitzgerald, Sara Guindon, Genevieve Jodouin, Laurie McGregor, The Misanthrope Specialty Co., Jen Spinner, Shanell Papp, Gillian Wilson and more. It takes place at the Theatre Centre Gallery/Cream Tangerine Cafe, 1087 Queen Street West, Toronto ON, December 3 – 13, 2009. City of Craft runs Dec 12 & 13, 2009. Hope you can make it!
