Cait Toenjes is an emerging curator and interdisciplinary artist based in Gananoque, Ontario. She currently serves as the Gallery + Artistic Relations Manager at Frameworks Canada, where she curates monthly exhibitions showcasing the work of established local artists. Informed by her recent experiences as a cancer patient, Cait’s artistic practice reflects on the complex and often contradictory relationship between illness and creativity. Her current series, exhibited at Gradex 110, explores themes of duration and interruption—using art as a therapeutic process to navigate treatment, recovery, and survivorship.Cait’s written work is rooted in early exhibition models such as the Cabinet of Curiosities, through which she critically examines the traditions of Western display. Her research interrogates the role of the curator as gatekeeper, and challenges institutional conventions within hospitals, archives, and museums—particularly the authority of explanatory texts, sanctioned knowledge, and replica culture.
