December 2023
Studio Fuzion

Honouring Studio Fuzion’s history as a former Zumba exercise studio, “Cha Cha Real Smooth: Art with Instructions” enlisted seven emerging artists from Kitchener-Waterloo to write a set of instructions to accompany their visual artwork on display. Through this approach, the exhibition aimed to redefine the conventional acts of viewing and listening we are used to experiencing in a gallery by involving additional senses and enhancing bodily awareness. The result, we hope, was something akin to the immersive, where gallery-goers became active participants in the creative process.
