The intersperse curatorial collective was born in 2004, when Francesca Vivenza, Anne O’Callaghan and Jocelyne Belcourt Salem met to organize the exhibition Home Invasion. The exhibition consisted of videos by artists whose main practice was not video art and it occupied all the rooms of Vivenza’s house-as-was. The success of the project promoted the development of the next in 2006, The Forest for the Trees: 97 Toronto, national and international artists participated in the exhibition at Lonsdale Gallery in Toronto. It consisted of mixed-media, same-size small work-format collages on paper. The exhibition traveled to Italy and Nova Scotia. These works are now in the archive of Il Gabbiano-Arte Contemporanea, La Spezia, Italy.
