GTA21 marks a renewed focus by MOCA on the local art scene and offers significant support for the featured artists to realize new and/or expanded work. Visitors will encounter 21 specially commissioned or never-before-seen artworks spanning all three floors of the Museum in a2range of media including drawing, sculpture, performance, painting and video. Beyond the Museum walls, the exhibition features several public artworks, a set of responsive digital components, a variety of public programmes and learning initiatives, and an accompanying publication. GTA21 has been generated by the curators with leadership and support from MOCA Executive Director and CEO Kathleen Bartels.
“We are thrilled to launch Greater #toronto Art 2021 this fall,” said Bartels. "Our inaugural roster celebrates local talent and showcases a diversity of artists who currently work in #toronto or are deeply connected to the city. Playing on Greater #toronto Area, the name of the city’s broad metropolitan area, the title addresses the ever-expanding notion of what #toronto is and might become, and how creative practices and attitudes are being innovated here. This exhibition and accompanying catalogue, highlight some of the most compelling and dynamic contemporary artists in #toronto today. We are so grateful for the generous support of the BMO Financial Group (Bank of Montreal), The Jack Weinbaum Family Foundation, The Lindy Green Family Charitable Foundation and many other supporters who have come together to realize this ambitious project.”
In the summer of 2020, the curatorial team conducted numerous virtual and socially distanced studio visits with artists who work across varying disciplines and lines of inquiry. Developed remotely over the past year, the curators’ approach to selecting artists and creating GTA21 was the result of building a network of relationships. “Rather than bringing these artists together under a particular theme, each participant was given space, resources, freedom and curatorial support to explore what feels most urgent to them today,” said Paynter. “As ideas emerged, we composed a structure for each Museum floor, an open plan that positions shared concerns and attitudes as well as contrasting artistic processes and practices.”
