June Clark (b. Harlem, New York) has earned national and international recognition for her photo-based image works, installations, and interventions. Her practice investigates themes of Black diasporic identity, exile, and memory through reflections on her Harlem childhood and subsequent migration to Canada. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from York University. Clark’s work has been included in exhibitions at the Polygon Gallery (Vancouver), University of Toronto Art Museum, Textile Museum (Toronto), National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Agnès b. (Paris), and Linda Kirkland Gallery (New York). She has had solo exhibitions at Daniel Faria Gallery (Toronto), Ringling Museum of Art (Sarasota), Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), Studio Museum in Harlem (New York), Koffler Gallery (Toronto), and Mercer Union (Toronto). In 2024, she opens a survey exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario and The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, both in Toronto.
For GTA24, June Clark will include a group of 16 photos taken in the 1970s and 80s, that reflect the built and natural environment of Toronto and offer an intimate look into the people and places the artist encountered during this time.
