Kuruc is one of 30 artists and artist teams invited to exhibit their work at the 2017 Hamilton Biennale, presented by DIY art collective comrades Hundred Dollar Gallery and Casino Artspace, on April 21-23 at the latter’s 176 Mary St. headquarters. The discussion is ubiquitous right now, says Stephen Altena, co-founder of both Hundred Dollar Gallery and the bienniale. David Trautrimas, another of the Biennale artists, moved to Hamilton from Toronto in 2015 when rising rents had whittled his studio space to a computer desk stuck into the corner beside his bed.
