Aisle 4
Aisle 4 is a curatorial collective based in Tkaronto/Toronto working in social practice and public art. Formed in 2013, they commission artist projects in the public realm that respond to specific communities, geographies, and/or social issues.
“Labour is a well-explored topic in contemporary art—it is the subject of annual festivals, the dedicated focus of art centres, and the premise of exhibitions, performances, and documentary projects. But it is also a tricky topic. […] Increasingly, artists who deal with representing labour also have to navigate the dematerialization of work, and find ways to bring the often-invisible aspects of contemporary labour (from technology to resource exploitation to gendered and racialized work) out into the light.”
