As the failure of capitalist structure becomes more and more evident, we experience intangible attachments to place. Living and creating in the margins of the mainstream as train hoppers, hitch-hikers, and mad cyclists; moving from apartment to apartment, from one neighbourhood to another, place can be at once elusive, and forever grounding. Place can be physical: painting at 2 a.m. while the last train rumbles beneath you; it can be entirely mental, a memory, or a mood. Place can be social: accepted ideologies and perspectives on caste, race, sexuality, and education. How does this myriad of places and spaces real or imagined, shape our perceptions of others and ourselves? What voices are realized and what social systems define their value?<\/p>\n

Place Unheard <\/em><\/strong>calls on voices from miles off the beaten path to create work on the theme of \u201cplace\u201d\u2014from artists whose perceptions of \u201cplace\u201d are distorted by transient lifestyles, socioeconomic realities, and the chaos underground. This visual art exhibition features the work of 9 young artists, all hailing from the outer regions of regularly scheduled culture. Place Unheard<\/em> is presented by Catscan<\/em>\u2014a Toronto-based arts collective<\/strong> dedicated to creating an alternative and accessible forum for arts education.<\/p>\n

Says Catscan founder and coordinator, Ashton Shearer<\/strong>: \u201cFormal arts education is totally inaccessible to a wide range of artists. Centralized institutions pose the risk of sterilizing creative thought and culture as a whole. We reject the exclusivity associated with \u2018cool\u2019 and \u2018hip\u2019 art networks. This show will counteract those paradigms.\u201d<\/p>\n

This art exhibition <\/em>represents voices and visions from Places Unheard.<\/p>\n

Works include mixed media, photography , encaustic and painting .<\/p>\n
