Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965–1980 is the first major exhibition in Canada to track the influence and diversity of conceptual art in works produced across the country, bearing witness to the significance of the intensely artist-driven involvement in the emergence of this global phenomenon. As demonstrated by the works in this exhibition, conceptual art was taken up across the country in complex, rigorous and diverse manifestations with its premises enacted, hybridized and inflected by the particular local and geographic needs and interests of individual artists, collectives and art communities. Presenting works by over seventy Canadian and international artists, the exhibition also offers a glimpse of some of the movement’s most energetic institutions in the form of the artist-run centres and networks.
Traffic: Conceptual Art in Canada 1965–1980 is curated by Grant Arnold (Vancouver Art Gallery), Catherine Crowston (Art Gallery of Alberta), Barbara Fischer (Justina M. Barnicke Gallery), Michèle Thériault with Vincent Bonin (Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University), and Jayne Wark (Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University).
Produced with the assistance of the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canada Council for the Arts.
