Artist statement
Untitled [Table] consists of four separately woven pieces of a tabletop that, when activated by four different participants, become a singular, self-supporting surface. The nature of the table requires participants to negotiate with and listen to each other in order to balance the surface between them. An exercise in unity, and a metaphor for community, this work provides participants with playful and experimental ways of sharing space and coming together.
Artist’s biography
Madison Strizic is an artist, facilitator, and baker based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), where they graduated with a BFA in Fibres and Material Practices from Concordia University. Strizic’s work offers participatory and experimental methods of coming together and coming a/part (of) through storytelling, cooking, and play. Drawing on themes of reciprocity, hospitality, and community they seek to create works that offer space for curiosity, imagination, and play. Interested in seeing the potential for art making and creative thinking in the everyday, they utilize familiar materials, modes of production, and ways of being together with the hope that they inspire possibilities of care and comfort through simple gestures of giving and receiving. In the past year, Strizic’s work has been presented in a number of group shows, including the 33rd edition of Première Impression at Arprim and the 2024 performance night hosted by RIPA at La Sala Rosa.
