The 8th edition of the Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and
Area’s (CAFKA) exhibition of contemporary art projects in public places will
open on September 16, 2011.
 
Focussing on art in public
spaces, the CAFKA programming committee has identified some of the most
interesting work in contemporary public art and has invited these artists to
develop projects for the biennial.  In recognition of the variety of
strategies employed by contemporary artists to negotiate the complex social,
political, psychological and aesthetic terrain of a looming ecological
dystopia, the theme for the 2011 biennial will be SURVIVE. RESIST.
