For Unit 17's third consecutive year at Art Toronto, the gallery is pleased to present works by represented artists, and recently exhibited artists.
A number of works in our presentation come out of the gallery's group exhibition "Crocodile Tears," which ran from January 31 - June 14 2020.
Its curatorial focus came out of these phrases:
"We are in crisis. This is our unapologetic position."
