The Beyond Within: Annie MacDonell and Maïder Fortuné

The Beyond Within expands on an exhibition by the same title. The show includes installation works by Annie MacDonell and collaboratively-produced videos by Annie MacDonell and Maïder Fortuné. The works in the exhibition – mounted at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, SFU Galleries, MacKenzie Art Gallery, Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, and Illingworth Kerr Gallery between 2022 and 2023 – mark a significant turning point both artists’ careers, and the beginning of a collaborative body of research exploring the relationship between art and life, the permeability of the self, and the potentials and limitations of artistic and conceptual freedom under late capitalism.

Designed by Cecilia Berkovic, the book includes images, film scripts, as well as essays by curators and collaborators including Crystal Mowry, Clara Schulmann, Leila Timmins, and Yan Wu, and interviews with Vincent Broqua, Ian Murray, Mathilde Girard and Cyril Neyrat. It acts not only as a document of the exhibition, but an extension of the artworks and ideas within.
