‘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.

Moira Ness

http://moiraness.com

Moira Ness is an interdisciplinary visual artist from Toronto. She makes conceptually driven work concerned with relentless archiving, pattern generation, and tracing comprehensive lines through her own personal history. Data mining her collection of personal correspondences and connections, Moira creates confessional and romanticized text by wielding word-organizing algorithms.

In late 2019, Moira collaborated with the Esprit Orchestra for a performance at Koerner Hall in Toronto. The new classical piece “I Hit My Head and Everything Changed” was written by Brian Harman and Moira provided the accompanying video projection of her algorithm-generated text work. Moira is on the Arts Etobicoke’s Board of Directors, as well as their gallery committee, and is a mentor through RBC’s Newcomer Artist Mentorship Program. Moira works out of the 888 Dupont building in Toronto.
