Time: All Day
Caroline Monnet’s first exhibition in a Toronto public gallery comprises a survey of her prolific production, centering around a new series of sculptures exploring the deep relationship between land, language, and intergenerational transmission of knowledge. Presenting a range of connected new and existing works, Pizandawatc / The One Who Listens / Celui qui êcoute offers a comprehensive view of Monnet’s complex aesthetic vocabulary, polyvalent material dexterity, and cohesive conceptual investigation. Combining the vocabulary of Anishinaabe visual culture with industrial materials, Monnet’s sculptures, mixed media works, videos, and installations expand on the centrality of the land and its resources in Anishinaabe spirituality, history, and resilience.
The exhibition is on view at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto through Saturday, March 23, 2024. Admission is free and all are welcome.
