Make Visible/Invisible Work
January 10–February 4, 2006

Make Visible/Invisible Work is presented in conjunction with the 2006 Windsor Labour Arts Festival.

Make Visible / Invisible Work, is a group exhibition dedicated to all of those who toil unseen. It examines unseen tedious tasks of the worker and the artist. Make Visible / Invisible Work features The Race, a new three-channel video installation by Vancouver artist Toni Latour. In this work, Latour responds to Pierre Beaudoin’s remark that as artists “We mark time, tread water, run on the spot”. In each of the three videos, Latour: runs on the spot as ‘officially’ dressed runners pass her on the sea wall in Vancouver; treads water amongst swimmers doing laps in a pool; and performs the ‘unglamorous’ tasks involved with being an artist: filling out grant applications and exhibition proposals (all while seated amongst ‘productive’ office workers).
