Fine Arts faculty member Xuan Ye is part of the 4th Kamias Triennial (KT4) group show, Long-Distance, which runs from July 4-29. Xuan is presenting two pieces at the triennial – one work featured in the Long-Distance exhibition, and an instructional score piece to be interpreted by three performers at the opening reception on July 6th from 2 pm to 3 pm at Gallery TPW (170 St. Helens Ave, Toronto).
This is the inaugural Toronto edition of Kamias Triennial. Exhibitions, performances, and programming will be co-presented at Gallery TPW, The Plumb and Towards Gallery, with an additional screening presented in partnership with the MOCA Toronto’s GTA24 program.
KT4’s group exhibition features work by all 12 artists in the triennial: Dean Baldwin Lew (Montréal), Lena Cobangbang (Manila), Kiri Dalena (Manila), Cian Dayrit (Manila), Erin Gee (Montréal), Kolown (Manila), Woojae Kim (Vancouver), A.S.M. Kobayashi with Meredith Talusan and Maylee Todd (Toronto/Barryville/New York City/Los Angeles), Okui Lala (Kuala Lumpur), Sung Tieu (Berlin), Mama’s Boy (Tanya & Olive Villanueva) (Manila), Xuan Ye (Toronto).
KT4 Long-Distance examines distance and how interpretations of it shape and reshape our connections with one another and our surroundings. It questions the role of art and culture in bridging social and political divides and explores the transformative power of hospitality. Since the last Triennial (2020), our perception of distance has been revealed as a myth, begging closer attention and widening our peripheries. Within this framework, contemporary artists experiment with hospitality, gathering, and connecting, collapsing our proximities.
KT4 is made possible with the City of Toronto funding through the Toronto Arts Council and support from the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario.
Opening Reception: Gallery TPW (170 St. Helens Ave, Toronto) on July 6th from 1 to 5 pm.
