9 July - 21 August 2011
Opening Reception: 9 July 2011, 3-5pm


The Annual, SAVAC’s members’ juried exhibition is an exciting showcase of the range and scope of contemporary art practices being produced by artists in SAVAC’s membership. Selected through an open call for submissions, the exhibition highlights the eclectic ideas and concerns that SAVAC’s member-artists are exploring through diverse art practices. This edition of our members’ juried exhibition features work by Anne Devitt (Toronto), Surendra Lawoti (Toronto), Afshin Matlabi (Montreal) Heidi McKenzie (Toronto), Smriti Mehra & Tahireh Lal (Bangalore, India), Janine Ramlochan (Toronto), Mona Sharma (Montreal) and Pudy Tong (Toronto).

 

The artworks presented in The Annual draw inspiration from a range of everyday experiences in our contemporary culture. One of the most powerful themes that emerge in this juried exhibition is a desire to explore and contemplate hand-made, labor-intensive and process-based art practices. Artists using craft-and-time-based processes for the creation of artworks resist the mainstream trend of our instantaneous digital culture. The gamut of vibrant and relevant artworks open up multiple and innovative ways of seeing, engaging and understanding our contemporary culture.

 

This year's jury included Himanshu Desai, Sarindar Dhaliwal, Srimoyee Mitra, Cole Swanson.
