CAN Triennial Announces Theme & Call for Entries

 

When FRONT International Triennial, which debuted in 2018, announced it would postpone its next edition from 2021 to 2022 due to uncertainties around the pandemic making advance planning difficult, the local artist-focused CAN Triennial did the same.

Sponsored by the Collective Arts Network, which published the visual-arts quarterly CAN Journal, it also debuted in 2018, with a host of exhibits and installations at 78th Street Studios, as well as a weekend art fair.

CAN has just announced the plans for its July/August 2022 iteration, including its theme and its call for artists. The theme is “You Are Here,” and this time, it will take place in more than a dozen venues in four Cleveland neighborhoods.

“The curatorial team will assemble more than a dozen exhibitions that will, at times, examine place and location, and at other times skewer notions of culture and politics, and map to discussions around presence and loss,” they say. Together, these exhibitions will give us an experiential journey through the literal geography of our city, and the ever-complicated situational understandings of place, context, identity, and action.”

Artist applications will be open from June 1-September 30, accepting proposals from artists in Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Geauga, Medina, Summit and Portage counties. For more information and news as it develops, go to canjournal.org.
