‘Exchange Piece’ explores collaboration as an act of care through an exchange between 10 early career and senior artists and designers working in pairs to explore how care in the creative process affects the way we relate and position ourselves to what we create. 

The exhibition features the work of Khadija Aziz, Jennifer Chan, Leigh Dotey, Laura Kay Keeling, Kristine Mifsud, Moira Ness, Tiffany Shaw-Collinge, Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, Amy Wong, and Florence Yee and Arezu Salamzadeh as the Rice Water collective, who explore concepts of care and come together in pairs to collaborate on an exchange piece.

This exhibition is curated by DesignTO, co-presented with Harbourfront Centre, and supported by Lemay.

Arezu Salamzadeh

Arezu Salamzadeh is a Mississauga-based artist who creates things for people to touch and spaces for people to move through. She is interested in examining diasporic culture and identity through a combination of entertainment, play, nostalgia and humor. Her installations often double as interactive pieces that examine the commodification and attainability of art to the general public.

Arezu received her BFA with Honours from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, in 2016. She has since exhibited at the Xpace Cultural Centre, the Small Arms Inspection Building, the Gladstone Hotel, the School of Visual Arts, and other galleries, museums and venues throughout Canada, the US, Italy and the UK. She is currently a Master of Visual Studies candidate at the University of Toronto.
