Curated by Crystal Mowry

Equal parts activist and artist, Ron Benner combines photography and installation, often in the form of site-specific installation. Through these means, Benner reflects on the histories of oppression that intersect with the corporatization of our food sources. Central to Benner’s work is the concept of the vector. In mathematics, a vector is understood to be a precise point along a direct path. In biology, however, a vector is a living organism that carries and transmits disease.

In Trans/mission: 101, Benner invites us to see the potential for education in our immediate environs. The 101 of its title is both a reference to the Gallery’s address and a colloquial short-hand for an introductory lesson. Situated on the Centre In The Square’s exterior grounds along Queen St. North, Trans/mission: 101 is composed of three garden beds in the shape of the aforementioned numerals. Photographic images that connect us to other geographies are interspersed with various ornamental plants, including different varieties of maize. Frequently found in Benner’s gardens, maize has been cultivated in the Americas by Indigenous farmers for thousands of years. It is a crop with limitless possibilities; it can be found as an ingredient in processed foods, used medicinally, and processed as a fuel. Its history as an entirely human-dependent crop, its export with the advent of colonialist encounter, and its radical alteration through genetic modification contribute to the symbolic value that maize brings to Benner’s work. One can’t help by ponder how little we know about food and water and the other things that sustain us. What have we risked in the name of industry? What have we lost?

All gardens need attention. By thriving, a garden communicates our attentiveness and willingness to prioritize its wellbeing. Its neglect is just as telling. In Benner’s work we are reminded that localized knowledge is inextricably linked to global issues.

Trans/mission: 101 is presented in concert with CAFKA 16 (Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area) and will remain visible through Fall of 2017. KWAG will host a corn roast with Ron Benner for our Open House on 16 July. Be sure to return on the evening of 16 September when Benner will be giving an artist talk in concert with the opening of our fall exhibition.
