Andrew Kreps Gallery is excited to announce that Jes Fan is included in Greater Toronto Art 2024, curated by Kate Wong, Ebony L. Haynes, and Toleen Touq. This triennial exhibition opens tomorrow to the public on March 22, 2024.

Featuring a constellation of twenty-five intergenerational artists, duos, and collectives, GTA24 looks back as much as it looks forward. The exhibition presents work made between the 1960s and the present, allowing the co-mingling of art created in different decades to provide new ways of understanding the current moment and imagining the future.

Across the museum’s three floors—and in an energetic series of live programs and screenings—the exhibition features fifteen newly commissioned presentations, performances, and events, furthering MOCA’s commitment to supporting artists in the development of new work and ideas. Thinking through the formation and designation of the Greater Toronto Area, GTA24 considers the arbitrary lines drawn to create maps, the ambiguities of an ever-widening geographic designation, and the precarity that arises for those displaced by rapid growth and expansion. These conditions create a state of otherness, and GTA24 reflects on the artistic strategies of working with, on, and against dominant cultural forms. Within this context, the exhibition emphasizes the crucial roles artistic language plays in developing more sustainable and caring ways of living together, and in building solidarity.
