Celina Eceiza: A material called Earth, Volume 1: The life of corners

At the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB), art is not something that exists outside of the present moment, but is a way of living through it.

We are drawn to practices that bend the binary between contemporary art and craft and work with those who find criticality in the handmade by challenging how material traditions and technologies are perceived.

It is this spirit that makes Celina Eceiza’s work and Sylvie Fortin’s curatorial practice feel so at home here. Both move fluidly between registers, gathering in collaborators, blurring the boundaries between making and thinking, and insisting that no creative act is ever singular.

A material called Earth is, in every sense, a natural extension of how we believe art and craft can be lived.
