June Clark is a Toronto-based artist who, since the late 1960s, has developed a unique and groundbreaking practice spanning photo-based work, text, collage, installation, and sculptural assemblages. Her autobiographical works explore issues of history, memory and identity-both individual and collective. Through her art practice, Clark’s search for her place in the world is intensely personal but opens out onto the increasingly alienated world that we all share.
June Clark: Witness is Clark's first survey exhibition in Canada. The show brings together four significant bodies of work that stretch from the 1990s to the present, many of them seen here for the first time. These include her iconic installations Family Secrets, 1992, and Harlem Quilt, 1997, a series of photo-based works from 2004 titled 42 Thursdays in Paris, Perseverance Suite (a new project the artist began in 2021), and Homage, a collection of sculptural assemblages that, in Clark’s words, “gave me permission to be the artist I am today.”
