Join us and artist Tricia Enns for a presentation on her work and research conducted during her residency at Ada X from February 4, 2025 to April 4, 2025. A conversation with Victoria Stanton on the process and practice of walking through chronic pain and community will take place at 7 p.m. Tricia’s project, Walked Traces: Living with (____), captures ephemeral moments of vulnerability, community, care and strength through four audio pieces, a self-published zine, and several video compilations using 3D scans of ‘objects of care’. The presentation, on April 9th, will be an opportunity to step into Tricia’s process, experience projected video works and audio pieces, and, through 3D scanning your own object of care (if you so choose), create a counter-map, or archive, of care together. Oh, and of course, there will be cake!
The overlapping threads of Victoria Stanton’s practice – as an artist, researcher, curator, educator – place observation and dialogue at the centre of her performative works. She has co-authored two books (Impure, Reinventing the Word, conundrum press, 2001, with Vincent Tinguely, and The 7th Sense/Le 7e sens, SAGAMIE édition d’art, 2017, with the TouVA collective), and published texts focusing on the performative as it is revealed in material and time-based practices. Stanton has presented performances, infiltrating/relational actions, exhibitions, and videos in Canada, the U.S., Europe, Australia, Japan, Mexico, and Cuba, and in 2018 was a recipient of the PRIX POWERHOUSE. As a SSHRC funded Canada Graduate Scholar pursuing a research-creation PhD in Art Education at Concordia University, her current work is focused on exploring the role of rest, pause and slowing down in artistic processes that occur both in art world contexts and everyday spaces like the classroom.
