TORONTO BIENNIAL OF ART moves on to EMERGING ARTIST Toronto’s citywide art event is on view through June 5, 2022

TORONTO BIENNIAL OF ART ANNOUNCED TWO PRIZES AT THE OPENING  OF ITS SECOND EDITION RECOGNIZING AN OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTOR AND AN EMERGING ARTIST Toronto’s citywide art event is on view through June 5, 2022

Toronto, Canada, March 29, 2022…The Toronto Biennial of Art (the Biennial/TBA) announced on March 25, during the opening celebration for its second edition, that Camille Turner is the recipient of its Artist Prize, recognizing an artist’s outstanding contribution to the Biennial, and Aycoobo / Wilson Rodríguez is the recipient of the Emerging Artist Prize acknowledging a promising, early-career Biennial artist. Each prize includes a $10,000 (CAD) award. Awardees participating in the 2022 Biennial, What Water Knows, The Land Remembers, were selected by a distinguished jury that included: Michelle Jacques, Chief Curator, Remai Modern, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Dr. Julie Nagam, Artistic Director of Nuit Blanche 2020 and 2022, Toronto, Ontario; and Canadian artist Lisa Steele, an innovator in video art, educator, curator, and co-founder of Vtape in Toronto, Ontario.

“We are pleased to recognize the inspiring work of our prize recipients, and hope this support helps them further develop their already impactful practices. We are also grateful to the jury for their thoughtful consideration and to our visionary patrons for their exceptional support,” said Biennial Executive Director Patrizia Libralato.  The Artist Prizes were generously supported by the Hal Jackman Foundation, Eleanor and Francis Shen, the DH Gales Family Foundation, David and Dawn Beswick, Jay Smith and Laura Rapp and the J.P. Bickell Foundation. Accommodations for jurors were generously supported by The Drake Hotel. “With such a broad range of artists from so many different locations, the prizes offered by the Toronto Biennial of Art are important to identify works that resonate profoundly,” said juror Lisa Steele. “For me, that means they are deeply engaging in terms of content, are beautifully crafted – and come from the heart of the artist, because it is this openness and vulnerability that speak most directly to me.”

About the Toronto Biennial of Art Artist Prize recipient

Canadian artist Camille Turner (born in 1960, Kingston, Jamaica; lives in Los Angeles, USA) explores themes related to race, space, home, and belonging. Her work combines Afrofuturism and historical research. In her Biennial immersive multimedia installation Nave (2022), Turner reveals the entanglement of colonial Canada in the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans through links between the nave of a church, the hold of the ship, the tomb, and the womb of the world. In this Biennial-commissioned artwork, a time traveller from the future Age of Awakening—performed by the artist—visits a church in the Age of Silence, circa 2021, to perform a ritual connecting with ancestors of the past.Nave situates the viewer within the context of memory embodied by the ocean.  At an opening event on March 25, Turner said ''I am so thrilled to be the recipient of this prize! This artwork is dedicated to ancestors known and unknown and I want to thank my amazing dream team: Editor Chris Wiseman, Cinematographer Esery Mondesir assisted by Andrew Osei, Cody Westman who shot the footage in Newfoundland, Performer Emilie Jabouin, Makeup Artist Kristen Gallacher, and Production Manager Roxanne Fernandes. Many thanks to the Biennial for the opportunity to unfurl this vision.” “In experiencing Nave, the deep trauma of the transatlantic slave trade is conveyed through the visuals of the ship as both womb and tomb, container of bodies and souls. But this trauma is transformed into redemption and peace through the beauty of both the gently lapping waves themselves and the tranquility of the church interior, as seen on the transformed face of Camille herself. This three-channel video installation encourages the viewer to enter and be immersed, with the work enveloping the viewer and the audio seeping into one’s consciousness so effortlessly, as one moves back in time and forward in hope,” said Steele.

About the Toronto Biennial of Emerging Artist Prize recipient Aycoobo (Nonuya, born in 1967, La Chorrera, Colombia; lives in Bogotá, Colombia), also known as Wilson Rodríguez, carries forth botanical knowledge from the Amazon jungle of Colombia transmitted by his father, Abel, and his ancestors. His artistic practice embraces the relationship between humans and the invisible world and the use of medicinal plants to expand perception. For Aycoobo, art is a way to honour his ancient roots and his life as an individual in the contemporary world. His works on paper, featured in both the 2019 and 2022 Biennial, offer depictions of his lived experience ranging from Nonuya creation stories to the Amazon calendar of micro-seasons.

“While looking at the mesmerizing paintings of Aycoobo / Wilson Rodriguez, I was immersed in the feeling of greenness — a green that is only experienced in the midst of a dense jungle such as those he depicts. The sense of careful observation, with each leaf and branch fully articulated, make these paintings work as sheltering spaces, with the plants, trees, and shrubs implicated in the expansion of our perception through his eyes,” said Steele. In addition to the juried Artist Prizes just announced, the Biennial is introducing two additional prizes to be presented in June 2022. The new prizes will be awarded via an online voting platform, acknowledging projects that inspire audiences and connect communities. The Audience Artist Prize will recognize an outstanding artistic contribution to the Biennial Exhibition as selected by a public vote, while the Programs Prize will recognize an outstanding contribution made by an artist, educator, workshop facilitator, mentor, community builder and/or advocate participating in the Biennial’s extensive schedule of free public programs.
