Institute for Contemporary Culture, Contemporary art museum at Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada
The Institute for Contemporary Culture is located within the Royal Ontario Museum and presents changing exhibitions of modern media art and installations. The space was designed to flexibly accommodate different artistic formats and presentation styles.
The Institute was founded in 1989 to connect the museum's historical collections with contemporary artistic expression. Its creation marked a turning point in the museum's approach to modern art.
The Roloff Beny Gallery presents works that connect contemporary art with topics relevant today, using various media like photography and digital installations. Visitors can see how artists blend technology with traditional techniques in their practice.
The exhibition space offers room to walk around and explore, with artworks arranged so you can view them from different angles. It helps to take your time and linger between installations to fully take in the details.
In 2018 the gallery presented an exhibition dedicated to Black Canadian artists, featuring works that had been underrepresented in mainstream Canadian art narratives. This exhibition helped bring these artists to a wider audience.
