Viewing her role as an engineer of frameworks for the production, presentation, and dissemination of contemporary ideas, Alissa Firth-Eagland is a Canadian curator, writer and editor who will unpack and present some tools of a nomadic culture worker while discussing her recent and upcoming projects. Her work fastens communities \u2014 local, national, and international. First professionally trained and tested as an artist (Ontario College of Art and Design), and later as a curator (\u00c9cole du Magasin, Grenoble, FR), she has been shaped by Canada\u2019s unique history of producing networked culture through video and mail art projects, as well as the globalized context through which this network is further extended. Her projects have, therefore, explored the connective tissue of creative exchanges over long distances such as \u201cWestern Front: London Bureau\u201d, No Soul for Sale, Tate Modern, London, UK; \u201cBetween Us: A Toronto\/Vancouver Exchange\u201d, YYZ Artist\u2019s Outlet\/Western Front, Canada and \u201cHow to act in the public sphere\/Comment agir dans la sph\u00e8re publique\u201d, Le Magasin Centre Nationale D\u2019Art Contemporain, Grenoble, France.<\/p>\n
With the objective of creating connective tissue, writing and publishing are the cornerstones of her practice which takes the form of publications or interdisciplinary projects between text, language, printed matter, and contemporary art. She read a fictive text within which the protagonists are the collectives The Bruce High Quality Foundation (New York) and Claire Fontaine (Paris). This text is the public sphere within which these artists first met, and was the entry point into an open group discussion about what possibilities for artistic action exist within the public sphere. <\/p>\n
