Critical Distance

Critical Distance is an independent curator-led initiative that provides a platform for curators and artists at all stages of their professional development. The organization focuses on critical inquiry, collaboration, and experimentation in order to create new connections between artists, art forms, ideas, and audiences. Through exhibitions, events, and a publishing program, Critical Distance aims to stimulate curiosity, conversation, and critical thinking on contemporary culture and the curation of exhibitions. The organization also seeks to enrich the exhibition experience and encourage active audience participation through a varied program of events. Critical Distance supports and collaborates with curators, artists, organizations, and audiences to advance visually and conceptually compelling projects in a welcoming and accessible space. The organization also provides resources, education, and outreach opportunities for curators and artists, and promotes economic sustainability and best practices in curating and exhibition-making. Critical Distance is a not-for-profit initiative based in Toronto, Canada, with a focus on supporting and advancing curatorial practice and inquiry.
