New York–based curator Isabela Villanueva talks about how Toronto’s cosmopolitan city vibe guided her selections. Hammocks hang between public buildings and traffic lights. Tapestries are woven out of construction-site debris. Mobiles are created from the bent rebar and busted concrete of demolished buildings. These are just some of the works made by artists featured in a special section of FOCUS: LATIN AMERICA at Art Toronto 2016. Curated by New Yorker Isabela Villanueva, this attention-grabbing series of installations is not only designed to delight and surprise—it’s also intended to connect with a Canadian populace that is increasingly city-based in general, as well as a Toronto context that has embraced urban activism and engagement in recent years. “I think when you are presenting works, it needs to be something the viewer can relate to and understand,” Villanueva says. “And I think this theme of the city and urban space, and how the city is constantly evolving and changing, 1 is being discussed in Toronto.” Among the artists Villanueva has selected for FOCUS: LATIN AMERICA are Guatemala City’s Buró de Intervenciones Públicas, which is 1 Buró de Intervenciones responsible for the hammocks hanging throughout Públicas the fair; São Paulo’s Vivian Caccuri, who shreds COURTESY PROYECTOS ULTRAVIOLETA, GUATEMALA materials from construction sites and transforms CITY/EMILIANO VALDÉS them into large geometric designs; and Bogota’s 2 Hernán Paganini Frederico Ovalles-Ar, who has travelled to Toronto QUIMERA DEL ARTE, to create an installation that refers to architecture BUENOS AIRES 3 in a fragile or provisional way. 3 Miguel Angel R Íos Also watch for a map-based installation by SICARDI GALLERY, HOUSTON influential Cuban artist Carlos Garaicoa, benches 4 Luciano Figueiredo GALERÍA LEME, RIO DE JANEIRO by Argentinian Luciana Lamothe, mobiles by PHOTO VICENTE DE MELLO Mexico’s Mario Novarro and art pieces by Peru’s Ishmael Randall Weeks.

Long has also created a benefit edition to support Canadian Art’s cross-country educational, publishing and programming initiatives. He knew many things, but he knew them all badly (counting waves) by Gareth Long Before The Illiad and The Odyssey, Homer wrote a comedy, called Margites. From the scant surviving remnants of this lost text, we learn that Margites, the eponymous character, was something of a fool. One day, he went down to the sea to count the waves—an impossible task for anybody, but even more so for Margites, who couldn’t count past five. In this project, the edges of Margites’s numerical universe are paired with rudimentary shapes, cresting and crashing on a wave-like curtain. In the age of the smartphone, what does it mean to be stupid? Here, stupidity is understood as a mode of cultural production, an innovative approach to making art and an emancipatory means of sidestepping the utopian end-game of modernism and progress. Canadian Art Benefit Edition Gareth Long, He knew many things, but he knew them all badly (And misfortunes often occur, so that it would be best to live [if at all] like Homer’s Margites, doing nothing and knowing nothing.), 2016, Graphite on paper, Ed.

    Installation view of The Estate of General Idea: Ziggurat, 2017, Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes and Nash. © General Idea. The Estate of General Idea (1969-1994) had their first exhibition with the Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery on view in Chelsea through January 13, featuring several “ziggurat” paintings from the late 1960s, alongside works on paper, photographs and ephemera that highlight the central importance of the ziggurat form in the rich practice of General Idea. It got me thinking about the unique Canadian trio’s sumptuous praxis and how it evolved from humble roots in the underground of the early 1970s to its sophisticated position atop the contemporary art world of today. One could say that the ziggurat form is a perfect metaphor for a staircase of their own making that they ascended with grace and elegance, which is true. But they also had to aggressively lacerate and burn their way to the top, armed with real fire, an acerbic wit and a penchant for knowing where to apply pressure. Even the tragic loss of two thirds of their members along the way did not deter their rise, making the unlikely climb all the more heroic.

    Provincial Profiles, 2001-2002 / Profils provinciaux, 2001-2002 GRANTS TO ONTARIO / SUBVENTIONS À L’ONTARIO Research Unit / Unité de recherche The Canada Council for the Arts / Le Conseil des Arts du Canada August 2002 / août 2002 Ontario Artists and Arts Organizations Funded by The Canada Council, 2001-2002 A total of $2,620,000 in funding was provided to The National Ballet of Canada through the Canada Council’s Dance and Endowments and Prizes Sections. The National Ballet has been producing both classical and modern productions like The Sleeping Beauty, Romeo and Juliet and A Delicate Battle since its creation in 1951. The organization also seeks to make ballet accessible to all Canadians through outreach programs like Ballet Talks and Ballet by the Water. These initiatives directly engage the public in how ballets are created and what they mean. The National Ballet of Canada aims to bring to as many Canadians as possible “forceful and relevant new ballets while respecting our traditions.” The AfriCan Theatre Ensemble in Toronto received $38,000 in funding from the Canada Council in 2001-2002, through the Theatre Production Project Grants Program and the Equity Intersectional Capacity Building Program. The AfriCan Theatre Ensemble was formed in 1997 and is committed to bringing Canadian and African art and artists together. A portion of the 2001-2002 funds was used to stage South African playwright Zakes Mda’s work The Girls in Their Sunday Dresses. This staging of Mda’s work was a rare opportunity to expose Canadians to African drama, with the play forming a “culture bridge”1 between the two communities.

He was born in Toronto and educated at Upper Canada College and subsequently at the Ontario College of Art (1948-1952). After travels in Europe (1953-54) he worked for Graphic Films in Toronto (1955-56), producing his first independent film A-Z. His first solo exhibition as a painter was at the Greenwich Gallery in Toronto in 1956. Between 1961 and 1967, mostly while living in New York, Snow produced work in the Pop-art mode based on the silhouette of a young woman, entitled Walking Woman, probably his most widely recognized creation. A series of 11 stainless steel sculptures of the image was created for the Ontario pavilion at Expo 67 and is now in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario. After moving to New York in 1964, he made films regarded as Minimalist, such as New York Ear and Eye Control (1964) and Wavelength (1966-67). Returning to Toronto in 1972, Snow worked mainly on cinematic and photographic projects including ‘Rameau’s Nephew’ by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen .
