About this event

This conversation between curator Chloë Catán and artists Vid Ingelevics and Ryan Walker will explore the themes addressed in How to Build A River (2022), the third in the artists' series of photographs reflecting their ongoing engagement with the Port Lands Flood Protection project, one of the most ambitious civil works projects in North America.

Following Framework (2020) and A Mobile Landscape (2021)—each of the three outdoor installations presented on custom-made billboards on Villiers Street—the current iteration charts the progression of their documentation and highlights themes and critical issues such as environmental innovation, regrowth, and ecosystems that have arisen during the project.

Presented by Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in partnership with Waterfront Toronto. Part of ArtworxTO: Toronto's Year of Public Art 2021–2022

Chloë Catán has managed public art commissions for Millennium Park in Chicago, the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale, Hermann Park in Houston and Michigan State University. Previously Public Art Curator for the City of Mississauga, Chloë currently runs the public art program for Waterfront Toronto.
