Join us at Street Road for receptions for both un-boxing, and for the opening  of Summer Library #8 by Logan Cryer

November 19, 2022, 3-5pm 
Join us at Street Road for the closing of un-boxing - completely unboxed - and for the opening of Summer Library #9, by Maya Wasileski.
UN-Boxing, an Arts Territory Exchange project, is a traveling exhibition in a box: moving across continents to be opened and displayed in a number of intriguing domestic and alternative locations, materials are posted across a network of curators, artists and archivists.

The exhibition takes its name from the pleasures and excitements of receiving postal mail and packages; opening, tearing, ripping and rifling through contents and the Youtube ASMR world of opening and unwrapping through which many people receive sensory comfort.

Through Un-boxing we play with the ideas of gifting.... receiving.... waiting and excitement... each recipient will curate a mini show from the material they receive and then add something to the box before posting it on. The audiences for the work may be families, children, pets, or neighbours peering through windows…

For the Street Road iteration, our audience is invited to unbox and hang and display works themselves, in a collective unboxing that unfolds over the course of its stay with us.

_
The exhibition tour has been organised by Gudrun Filipska, Caroline Kelley, Lenka Clayton and Carly Butler but is a collaboration emerging between all the participants and curators as it moves from place to place.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
