groundwork
July - September 2025
Mercer Union (Toronto) SITE Toronto is part of groundwork, an incubator for artistic and practice-based research. The inaugural edition of groundwork is collaboratively produced with seven Toronto-based practitioners: artist Luis Jacob, the working group EMILIA-AMALIA (Cecilia Berkovic, Annie MacDonell, Gabrielle Moser, Zinnia Naqvi, and Joy Xiang), and curator Kate Wong. Their projects consider the conditions currently impacting artistic and cultural production in Toronto, guided by differing prompts and senses of scale.Category
