In a social and political moment where opinions are often divisive, breaking into camps at polar ends of the ideological spectrum, the possibility of finding common ground can seem beyond reach. Debates over human rights, climate change, land claims, and even the politicizing of the pandemic often seem at cross-purposes and irresolvable. How do we respond in times of uncertainty—when do we push forward, when do we give up, and when do we try things differently? In The Further Apart Things Seem, artists follow distinct paths that invent strategies of resistance, often pushing against logic to explore areas of connection between things that might initially appear unrelated or in opposition. By testing the unexpected and playing outside the limits of functionality, they embrace material experimentation and provisionality as productive spaces for building resilience, resolution, and understanding.
Co-curated by Shannon Anderson & Jay Wilson
The Further Apart Things Seem is co-presented by Contemporary Calgary, University of Waterloo Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery of Mississauga.

In response to The Further Apart Things Seem, we invite you to submit photographs of access ramps found in and around your community. Your submission will become part of a growing collection of images, shared throughout our social media and on exhibit at the gallery. The Ramp Project is an extension of Atanas Bozdarov’s Ramp Photos — a photographic series focusing on the functionality of ramp structures in various cities. His images consider how portable access ramps vary broadly in their usefulness — from helpful to absurdly hazardous — and point to the need for a more thoughtful approach to accessibility in our cities.
