Location, location, location
—it’s the recipe for success in real estate, and also to a large extent in the art world, a phenomenon we celebrate in the theme of this year’s Canadian Art Gallery Hop, Location3. Art worth knowing about is often intertwined with a thriving in situ scene, whether it’s in London, New York or Berlin, or Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. Powerful art is also sensitive to place, bringing the conditions of its making and showing to the forefront. Likewise, a place—be it well known or not—lends unique flavours to art produced in its bounds. At its heart, Location3 is just another way of saying that art, like us, lives and thrives in three dimensions.
