Temporary exhibition

Visibly Iroquoian

from Dec 19, 2022 to Dec 23, 2023
Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)

Looking out from windows across three sites in the CCA building, an installation by interdisciplinary performing artist Ange Loft prompts visitors to consider Indigenous context in and around the city of Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal through a series of interconnected activities. Combining art-based research, archeological and historical maps, and oral narratives, the installation engages with the land upon which the city has been built, specifically the layered histories beneath the ground.

The indoor and outdoor installation can be experienced from the windows at the CCA’s entrance, in the rotunda across from the Study Room, and in the Founder’s Salon of Shaughnessy House.

Loft was commissioned by the CCA to create this work as the inaugural Research Fellow linked to the institution’s Living Land Acknowledgment project. The creation of a biennial fellowship for Indigenous researchers working on land restitution in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal will keep this process alive. The biennial fellowship will run for three iterations, with two more to follow in 2023 and 2025.

Collaborators: Eruoma Awashish, Alaska B, Joe Deome, Barbara Diabo, CCA Land Acknowledgement Working Group, Hannah Claus, Katsi’tsahèn:te Cross-Delisle, Katsitsanoron Dumoulin-Bush, Sedalia Fazio, Iehente Foote, and Sarah Shin.

The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project
The Lives of Documents—Photography as Project is the first of a trilogy of research and exhibition projects produced by the CCA on the medium of photography—between work of art, research tool, and document—as a means to investigate the built environment. In light of the pioneering efforts the CCA has made since its foundation in redefining the role of photography within the field of architecture as well as within research institutions and collections, the project is conceived as a display of open research where works of authors from the 1970s until today—from the CCA collection and beyond—are presented together with unpublished projects, books, publication mock-ups, interviews, and documents connected to the production of the works themselves.
