Part two of this blog series is up! To go directly to it, click here. The 2018 In Situ multi-arts festival took place November 8–10 at the Small Arms Inspection Building (a former WWII munitions factory now partially refurbished as a creative hub) in Mississauga, Ontario. 'Hearts in Place' was a whole-room installation comprised of: ten 7-foot high scrolls, eight of which were transfer-printed (a hand-pulled process), two were hand-painted; two paper-and-fibre "veined" panels (centre); two veiling textile panels; one built-onsite sculpture/assemblage which you can see a sliver of light from at the centre of this photo; and the wall behind me as I photographed the room panorama was a mural drawing which I drew a portion of as a live performance each of the three evenings of the festival. Like the first In Situ festival in 2016, this was an extraordinary experience and a creative high, but with the benefit of central heating and running water! I am still exhausted from the experience of preparing all of this new work, performing and then taking it all down just days later. As a result I will keep this entry shorter than I might have, but will share with you some photographs. Thanks go to the numerous – generous – photographers and friends, (all credited individually), who made this possible, documenting when I could not. Many thanks to the many people who came out to experience the festival and visited my room! If you were there, please let me know what you thought in the comments below. |

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Ann! I'm sorry you missed this one too but I already have three exhibitions in the works for 2019, including two solo, so with luck you'll be able to visit at least one of them :-) xo, Kim

Whatever you do now, Kim, you leave me thinking - admiring, yes, but truly pondering. And for that I am also, truly, grateful.

Kim-Lee KhoAs a visual artist I like nothing more than getting up to my elbows in paint or little plastic toys, or wading in at the deep end in pursuit of an idea. When I am not teaching others in a similar vein, you can find me researching, writing and noodling around in my studio, seeing where my latest lines of inquiry lead me. Archives
