4th Kamias Triennial Long-Distance

The Kamias Triennial’s 4th (KT4) iteration Long-Distance runs July 4-29 in Toronto, Canada. Long-Distance examines distance and how interpretations of it shape and reshape our connections with one another and our surroundings. It questions the role of art and culture in bridging social and political divides and explores the transformative power of hospitality. Since the last Triennial (2020), our perception of distance has been revealed as a myth, begging closer attention and widening our peripheries. Within this framework, contemporary artists experiment with hospitality, gathering, and connecting, collapsing proximities. The inaugural Toronto edition is co-curated by Patrick Cruz, Su-Ying Lee and Karie Liao and includes artists from Brooklyn, Barryville, Berlin, Kuala Lumpur, Los Angeles, Manila, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. 

Exhibitions, performances, and programming will be co-presented at Gallery TPW, The Plumb and Towards Gallery, with an additional screening presented in partnership with the MOCA Toronto’s GTA24 program.

Participating artists include: Dean Baldwin Lew (Montréal), Lena Cobangbang (Manila), Kiri Dalena (Manila),
Cian Dayrit (Manila), Erin Gee (Montréal), Kolown (Manila), Woojae Kim (Vancouver), A.S.M. Kobayashi with Meredith Talusan and Maylee Todd (Toronto/Barryville/New York City/Los Angeles), Okui Lala (Kuala Lumpur), Sung Tieu (Berlin), Mama’s Boy (Tanya & Olive Villanueva) (Manila), Xuan Ye (Toronto)
