Full details are now available on CONTACT’s redesigned website<\/a>, including insightful photo essays for each of the 41 projects in its Core Program.<\/p>\n

“Collaborating with artists and cultural partners across greater Toronto<\/span>, CONTACT affirms artists’ roles in building awareness and stimulating meaningful dialogue about important issues, whether individual, collective, or global. Many 2021 projects envision more inclusive realities and honour diverse voices\u2014visually transporting viewers to places of understanding, empathy, and resilience,” said CONTACT Executive Director Darcy Killeen<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In addition to CONTACT’s Core Program,\u00a0Juried Call Exhibitions\u00a0<\/a>are planned at established galleries, and\u00a0Open Call Exhibitions<\/a> present work by emerging artists at galleries and alternative locations across the city. Several of these exhibitions can be seen outdoors, in storefront windows, or virtually, while other venues plan to safely welcome visitors by appointment as government guidelines permit. Visit CONTACT’s website<\/a> for regular updates, and check venues’ websites or call ahead for the most accurate information on public hours or closures.<\/p>\n

While CONTACT is not currently planning any onsite events or gatherings this year, it is offering new ways to engage with the Festival on its redesigned website, with virtual exhibitions,<\/a>conversations,<\/a>workshops,<\/a> and more, throughout the month of May and beyond. For the first time, the website will feature brief audio talks about selected outdoor installations, providing unique insights into the projects as described by the artist(s) and\/or curators. QR codes posted at selected sites will connect visitors directly to these audio tracks, making them accessible both on location and from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Billboards at Dupont St\/Emerson Ave<\/span> & Dupont St\/Perth Ave, May 1<\/span> \u2013 30
With a practice grounded in respect and consent, Toronto<\/span> artist Jeff Bierk<\/span> creates images evolving from an ongoing collaboration with his close friends who live on the city’s streets, highlighting the strength and resilience of this community. Bierk presents billboard-sized portraits honouring his friend Jimmy James Evans<\/span>, one of his earliest and closest collaborators.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n Kim Hoeckele<\/span>, epoch, stage, shell<\/i><\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n
Billboards at Dupont St\/Dovercourt Rd & College St\/Dovercourt Rd, May 1<\/span> \u2013 30
New York<\/span>-based artist Kim Hoeckele<\/span> confronts viewers with her nude body which echoes moments shaping the Western art-historical canon and notions of beauty. She proposes a messier standard: one mixed, eroded, and patched together. Hoeckele’s billboard photomontages challenge viewers to consider the psychological violence caused by the idealization of women’s bodies.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n Lili Huston-Herterich<\/span>, A Room with Four People<\/i><\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n \u00a0

Rotterdam<\/span>-based artist Lili Huston-Heterich presents a series of photographs drawing on methods of character and narrative development through the arrangement of found clothing as bodily forms. Each image represents one character, with their name and characteristics presented as overlaid text, with typefaces mimicing the signs of local businesses. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition In an Archipelago<\/i>, at nearby Pumice Raft.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n <\/a>
\n
Davisville Subway Station, May 1<\/span> \u2013 30
Dutch artist Thirza Schaap<\/span> addresses the global plight of plastic waste in the world’s oceans. Positioned along the Davisville subway platform, her images of carefully composed sculptures appear beautiful and delicate but on closer inspection reveal they are constructed from bits of scavenged plastic the artist has found along the seashore.<\/p>\n

Check the CONTACT website<\/a> for updates on when additional outdoor projects will be on view in the coming the months. Highlights include:<\/p>\n

\n
\n Esmaa Mohamoud, The Brotherhood FUBU (For Us, By Us)<\/i><\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n \u00a0
<\/b>Westin Harbour Castle Conference Center, on display through 2023
Focusing on the physical connection between Black male bodies by amplifying the symbol of the durag, Esmaa Mohamoud confronts the dynamics of gender and race. Her massive photographic mural, the first phase of a two-part commissioned project, asserts a commanding occupation of public space. Foregrounding two men within an expansive scene, the Toronto<\/span>– and Markham<\/span>-based artist opens a powerful dialogue about systemic inequity while signaling positive change.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Frida Orupabo<\/span>, Woman with book \/ Woman with snake<\/i><\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n
460 King Street West North<\/span> fa\u00e7ade
Exploring questions of race, gender, culture, class, and their complex intersections, Frida Orupabo<\/span> fuses varied archival materials to question colonial and modern representations of Black womanhood. Positioned on the fa\u00e7ade of a Victorian-era building, monumental images by the Oslo<\/span>-based, Nigerian-Norwegian artist portray Black women’s bodies as sites of knowledge and empowerment.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Skawennati, Calico & Camouflage: Assemble!<\/i><\/b>
\n <\/a>
\n
Yonge-Dundas Square
Working within the 3D virtual realm, Tiohtia:ke\/Montreal<\/span>-based Mohawk artist Skawennati creates projects that posit Indigenous futures. In\u00a0Calico & Camouflage: Assemble!<\/i>, a new site-responsive installation, cyberpunk activist avatars reinforce the fusion of personal fashion and protest.

With a trailer transformed into a mobile photo studio,\u00a0this new public art project by Toronto<\/span> artists Max Dean<\/span>, McAlister Zeller-Newman<\/span>, Andrew Savery-Whiteway<\/span>, and writer Chris Hampton<\/span> is inspired by the itinerant photographers of the 19th century.

To ensure social distancing, the role of photographer has been taken over by animatronic figures known as ‘Andy and the lads.’ Visit the CONTACT website<\/a> for details about where and when to see the mobile trailer.<\/p>\n
