""We are living in a moment of intense rupture, and this title encompasses both the historical usage of this phrase and the contemporary moment," Allison Glenn states, emphasizing the importance of artists addressing current conflicts in their work."
""Growing up in nearby Detroit deeply informed my understanding of how water, as both a physical resource and a historical element, plays a crucial role in our lives and narratives," Glenn explains, linking the biennial's themes to the Great Lakes."
The Toronto Biennial of Art will take place from September 26 to December 20, featuring 30 artists and collectives, including 17 new commissions. This year marks the biennial's expansion beyond Toronto. Curator Allison Glenn emphasizes the theme of rupture, reflecting on contemporary conflicts and historical contexts. The biennial also highlights the significance of water, inspired by the Great Loop, a vast system of waterways connecting the eastern US and parts of Canada. Glenn's background in Detroit influences her perspective on water as a vital resource.
