Wednesday, 2 April 2025 - This exhibition features a unique cross-border portrait exchange between students at OCAD University, Michigan State University, and State University New York Geneseo. To create intimacy in their portraits, MSU and OCAD U students engaged in three rounds of email correspondence to build relationships across national and state borders. SUNY Geneseo Museum Studies students produced exhibition texts and coordinated video interviews between the artists and the subjects. These unique exchanges provided an artistic challenge for the artists to translate a stranger’s presence into a work of art. The resulting drawings capture the likeness of their partner and explore their relationships and friendships across the Canadian-American Border. - 28 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON M5V 0C6, Canada -
