SUMMARY:RAFT
DESCRIPTION:RAFT is a collaborative exploration of unseen labour\, handmade processes\, and the transformation of everyday working environments. \nDrawing inspiration from the historical figure of the rag‑picker and contemporary textile workers in Kutch\, Gujarat\, the artists’ shared interest in the handmade versus the mass‑produced lead to a sculptural installation based on a washing tank used in cloth‑dyeing practices\, reimagined as a 20‑foot steel frame. \nWithin this structure\, the artists present paper works\, textiles\, and fabrics that reflect their ongoing exchange of research and materials\, and their commitment to amplifying the histories and gestures embedded in craft and manual work. \nKaren Kraven is a Montreal-based artist working with photography\, sculpture and installation. Influenced by her father’s (and his father’s) knitting factory\, which stopped manufacturing the year that she was born\, and by her mother’s pursuit in fashion\, her recent work has investigated the garment-making process\, to deconstruct and reconstruct the off-cuts of patterns. \nRecent solo exhibitions have included Bloemenlust at Oakville Galleries\, Ontario (2025)\, Fray at Galerie Nicholas Robert\, Toronto (2024)\, Le Chiffonnier at AXENÉO7\, Gatineau (2022)\, Hoist at PLATFORM Centre\, Winnipeg (2022) and Lull at Latitude 53\, Edmonton (2020). Reviews of Kraven’s work have been published in C Magazine\, Canadian Art\, Momus and Artforum. She is currently an Assistant Professor in Visual Studies with the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture\, Landscape\, and Design at the University of Toronto. \nSwapnaa Tamhane (b. 1976\, Toronto\, based in Montreal)\, works to destabilize and untether colonial constructs as an artist\, curator\, and writer. Her process focuses on drawing\, considering the presence of her hand in making paper and the treatment of surfaces. She works in collaboration and a skill-sharing process with artisan-designers in Kutch\, Gujarat\, India\, working with block printing\, embroidery\, and weaving. \nShe has an MFA in Fibres & Material Practices\, Concordia University\, Montreal. Residencies have been held at ISCP\, Brooklyn\, Cité internationales des arts\, Paris\, Bemis Centre for Contemporary Art\, Omaha\, and Museum der Moderne Salzburg\, Austria. Exhibitions have been held ast Green Art Gallery\, Dubai; Patel Brown\, Toronto; Nature Morte\, Delhi; articule\, Montreal; Sculpture Park Jaipur; and Victoria & Albert Museum\, Dundee\, Scotland. Solo exhibitions include Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto\, Surrey Art Gallery\, Surrey\, BC\, and Mead Art Museum\, Amherst. Tamhane was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award\, 2025.
