February 15 to April 27, 2018
Fogo Island Arts is a residency-based contemporary art venue for artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, curators, designers, and thinkers from around the world. Since 2008, FIA has brought some of the most exciting emerging and renowned artists of today to Fogo Island, Newfoundland to take part in residencies and to present solo exhibitions at the Fogo Island Gallery. Fogo Island Arts is an initiative of Shorefast, a registered Canadian charity with the mission to build economic and cultural resilience on Fogo Island.
Belonging to a Place features works by a selection of international artists who are alumni or forthcoming participants of the Fogo Island Arts residency program. The exhibition departs from a consideration of the concept of “place,” seeking to examine where we come from and how we relate to multiple notions of belonging. Presenting sculpture, installation, video, painting and works on paper, the exhibition takes on a diverse, experimental and critical approach to contemporary art, its presentation and discussion.
Curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen, Director Kunsthalle Wien and Strategic Director, Fogo Island Arts.
Artists: Abbas Akhavan, Nadia Belerique, Mark Clintberg, Brenda Draney, Aslan Gaisumov, Ieva Epnere, Steffen Jagenburg, Leon Kahane, Isa Melsheimer, Mark Clintberg, Kate Newby, Silke Otto-Knapp, Paul P., Joseph del Pesco, Jeroen de Rijke & Willem de Rooij, Zin Taylor.
First presented at Scrap Metal, Toronto, from June 22 to September 23, 2017, the exhibition is a unique collaboration between Art en Valise, Fogo Island Arts, and Scrap Metal. These three Canadian organizations came together to realize a poetic, forward-thinking project based on shared values. The presentation at the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC is a new iteration of the exhibition, featuring a selection of works from the original exhibition as well as additional artists and works.
The Embassy’s art gallery is located at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue NW (next to the Newseum) and is open to the public Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm, free of charge.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
