TBA Publication Launch and Reading: Precarious Joys

Access

About

Join us as we launch the 2024 Biennial catalogue, Precarious Joys, co-published by the Toronto Biennial of Art, Art Metropole, and Goose Lane Editions. Edited by the Biennial’s 2024 curators, Dominique Fontaine and Miguel A. López, this landmark publication includes conversations between artists, curators, and community members, as well as reproductions of work by featured artists. Together, the texts and images offer readers insights into how artistic practices can amplify political consciousness and reassert the power of aesthetics

in shaping collective existence.

In conversation with artists and special guests, Dominique and Miguel will delve into the catalogue’s focus on dialogue and the impact of active listening on development of TBA’s third edition.

This program is presented in partnership with Art Metropole and Goose Lane Editions.

Organizer

Toronto Biennial of Art

The Toronto Biennial of Art’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone. A ten-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures.

The Toronto Biennial of Art launched in 2019 and was a popular and critical success. The Biennial provides expanded understandings of contemporary art practices and is building a legacy of free, inclusive, and accessible contemporary arts programming in Toronto and surrounding communities.

As conversations about Truth and Reconciliation as well as inclusion, equity, and accessibility continue to evolve, the Biennial is committed to developing new ways of seeing and listening.
