 “To make art is to enter an ecosystem that has all kinds of branches, categories, and functions,” Cann said in his juror’s statement. “Every niche has its own history, implied values, and measures of success. As a juror for an exhibition like this, I try to take these shifting criteria into account. What I do enjoy seeing is work that has a clear voice and an elegant relationship between form and idea.”
