Curator's talk by Shannon Anderson

The exhibition The Closer Together Things Are, currently in the University of Waterloo Art Gallery (UWAG), is co-curated by Shannon Anderson and Jay Wilson and featuring the work of artists Kathleen Hearn, Laura Letinsky, Ève K. Tremblay, Micah Lexier, Dave Dyment, Luke Painter, Rhonda Weppler/Trevor Mahovsky, Chris Kline, and Roula Partheniou.

The Closer Together Things Are explores the space between difference and similarity that arises from intense observation and consideration. It takes stock of how little we need to see in order to feel like we’ve seen these things before, only this time more clearly.
