Borsato, Diane

Toronto (Ontario), 1973

Borsato is considered to be at the forefront of relational, interventionist and performative practices in Canada. In his essay, The Knowing of Diane Borsato, Philip Monk, Curator and Director of the Art Gallery of York University, unpacks and elucidates the complexity of her art practice saying, "she might alternately be described as a performance artist, an interventionist, or a relational aesthetician. None of these, though, adequately describe the subtlety, intimacy, and often wry absurdity of her work. The artist proposes alternate forms of knowledge and processes of learning that are eccentric – yet mundane – researches into the forms and experience and boundaries of everyday life." [ 1 ]
