Christine is an artist, writer, curator, organizer and PhD candidate in Social and Political Thought at York University where she is developing a dissertation project composed of a series of 29 curated acts, events and encounters networking contemporary Canadian practices along the Trans-Canada Highway. Christine has created spatial interventions and soft architectures in galleries and public sites across Canada and organized exhibitions for artist-run centres, fugitive/furtive sites and within experimental panels at various interdisciplinary conferences. She has worked on publications as both a writer and editor including the recent issue Public 29: Localities which she co-edited/curated, as an editorial committee and board member of Fuse magazine from 2001-2004 and has written for various magazines, academic journals, book projects and exhibition catalogues. She also teaches sessionally at York University and the Ontario College of Art and Design.
Currently, Christine co-organizes events with an autonomous educational project called Toronto School of Creativity and Inquiry (TSCI), which organizes critical education events looking at and creating ways out of capitalist enclosures of life. Past events include: Precarity Forum; Whose University?; Politics of the Plate; Transformative Tactics; Here Be Dragons: Cartography of Globalization (an exhibition at the Toronto Free Gallery). Upcoming and anticipated events include: Total Eclipse of the Heart (a ferry trip to Toronto island to picnic and play on, not patrol, the world’s shores during the March lunar eclipse); Laboratory Latin America; Entangled Territories: Political Economy of Belonging; Experiments in a Soft Revolution (a travelling exhibition); a concept book generated by and constituted in imperceptible authorship to be published by Chilavert in Buenos Aries. Documents of these activities can be found on TSCI’s blog: www.tsci.ca
