Alexis Venerus is the Parkdale based curator of Alexus Projects. Her work weaves together serendipitous connections amongst producers and unintentional audiences. Concepts imagined in open discussions often over food, are brought to public exhibition, where she implements everyday objects and places as opportunities to showcase artworks. This way the audience is offered familiarity as a framework for introspection and communal discourse. Her publication Insahyt Catalog 700-779 serves as a collection of references as to how a variety of minds separately brainstorm given themes. In June 2019, she exhibited the work of over 30 local and International artists whose pieces were covered in the first three volumes of the catalog. Recently, Venerus fused art within the community through Grab-a-Slice gallery - located inside Albany pizza restaurant (closed 2020). Here, she curated work in a maximalist way with shows that offer catalyst to speculation and empathy in their variety of viewpoints.
