Traffic

Different Venues, Toronto

Curated jointly by Grant Arnold, Catherine Crowston, Barbara Fischer, Michèle Thériault with Vincent Bonin, and Jayne Wark.

Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965–1980 is the first major exhibition to focus on the influence and manifestations of Conceptual Art in Canada. As demonstrated by the works in this exhibition, Conceptual Art was taken up in complex and diverse manifestations with its premises enacted, hybridized and inflected by the particular local and geographic needs and interests of individual artists, collectives and art communities. Presenting works by over one-hundred artists from across Canada, Europe and the United States, the exhibition bears witness to the formation of artist-driven exchanges and institutions, as well as social networks in the emergence of this global phenomenon.

Concerned with language, body, place and geography—all constitutive elements and primary interests of Conceptual Art internationally—Traffic is organized around urban and regional centres from Halifax to Vancouver, but seeks to capture the effervescent, and often contentious, lines of traffic between them.
