a landscape hosts something

The Toronto Biennial of Art is a new international contemporary visual arts event as culturally connected and diverse as the city itself. From September 21 to December 1, Toronto and surrounding areas will be transformed by exhibitions, talks, and performances that reflect our local context while engaging with the most pressing issues of our time.

Led by Darian Razdar, a landscape hosts something is a workshop to experiment with place-based practices and poetic landscapes.

Toronto Sculpture Garden

Please not that due to weather conditions, a landscape hosts something has been postponed to Thursday, October 10 from 4 — 7pm.—Led by poet, artist and facilitator Darian Razdar, a landscape hosts something is a workshop to experiment with place-based practices and poetic landscapes.Referencing a line in Ada Smailbegovic’s “Descriptions of Invisible Objects,” the title of this workshop series, a landscape hosts something, lingers on the idea that landscapes don’t exist a priori, but are created through acts of imagination. Together and independently, we’ll reflect on “landscaping”—how we re-present ecologies and environments through processes of abstraction. Based on deep listening and responding with place, we will re-engage with landscape as a critical site for creativity.Participants can expect to engage in facilitated discussions around this theme, semi-structured fieldwork activities, and sharing of one’s own work in a welcoming context. Shaped as a 3-hour workshop in and around Rajni Perera's newly commissioned work, Vimana (N1 Starfighter), at the Toronto Sculpture Garden, participants will leave the workshop with new and evolving connections, ideas, and practices related to landscapes and the environment.Each participant will also receive a list of reference material to engage with before and after the workshop. The first set of registered participants will receive a notebook, postcard, and guiding pamphlet. This program has a limited capacity.

A ten-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures. From September 21 to December 1, 2024, the TBA offers 10 weeks of free public art over 11 unique locations across Toronto.
