At the invitation of the National Gallery of Canada and SAW Gallery, Ace had a exclusive one-on-one visit with the international delegation of curators and directors of internationally renowned institutions at SAW Gallery. The delegates are from eight institutions across Denmark, Greenland, Korea, Sweden and Canada. The International Curators’ Tour 2025 is an initiative organized by the NGC and the NGC Foundation, in partnership with Canada Council for the Arts, the Embassies of Canada to Denmark, to the Republic of Korea and to Sweden, and the Embassy of Denmark in Canada, the Embassy of Sweden in Canada, the Swedish Institute, and Global Affairs Canada’s Global Arctic Leadership Initiative (GALI).
Ace presented a visual deck on his work in Club SAW and gave an artist talk on his public commission Zasaan installed in the portico of SAW, and his Digital Bandolier in Arts Court. Ace was also invited to dine with the delegates for dinner in the Market afterwards and continued the conversation on his art practice.
