‘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.

When It Gets Dark, I Have Shallow Breath

Laura Kay Keeling

‘When It Gets Dark, I Have Shallow Breath’ is an installation by Laura Kay Keeling that strives to unpack grief and explore healing following the traumatic death of her grandmother. Through experiencing loss as a lingering visitor, she practiced sitting with grief to honor her experiences and memories. In creating this work, Laura practiced care through her approach to the subject: care for herself, her memories, and in the selection and use of materials.

Laura would like to acknowledge and thank the Ontario Arts Council for their support of this project.
