THE
ENCAMPMENT
Thom Sokoloski & Jenny-Anne McCowan
Conceived by Thom Sokoloski
Sherrie Johnson Productions
A Thomas+Guinevere creation
JUNE 8 TO 24, 2012
?
The Encampment is a large-scale public participatory art
installation that proposes the archaeological encampment
as its metaphor. A dig for artifacts is replaced by a dig into
the collective memory of a public space and its history.
The Encampment was created by a team of interdisciplinary
Creative Collaborators who participated in a 6 week process
with the artists to research and transpose 200 stories from
the War of 1812 into visually expressive installations inside
the 200 tents which you see before you.
Each installation was inspired by the story of an individual
living in the Canadas during the War of 1812. Many of these
individuals remain unrecognized as part of our history. They
represent an assemblage of peoples including First Nations,
European immigrants, African Canadians, as well as European
and Native loyalists expelled from the United States after the
American Revolution. Though the majority did not play a role
in the military history of the War of 1812, collectively, they
defined the zeitgeist of our nation. Their stories are as varied as
the people who lived them and include themes of patriotism,
betrayal, treason, profiteering, pacifism and family loyalties –
during a time of invasion and occupation by American forces
until their final expulsion from the Canadas.

Thomas+Guinevere is an art studio run by Thom Sokoloski and Jenny-Anne McCowan. Their
collaboration began in 2006 when Thom was commissioned by Scotiabank Nuit Blanche (curated by
Clara Hargittay) to create Confinement of the Intellect in Trinity Bellwoods Park. It was later re-titled
The Encampment and presented in New York City on Roosevelt Island (2007) and Ottawa in Major
Hills Park (2008). In 2010 they developed the first draft of The River Peace, inspired by Mahatma
Gandhi’s satyagrahas, for Nuit Blanche in The Distillery Historic District. In 2011 they were in
residence in the Aboriginal community of Mapoon in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia,
where they researched and developed Ghost Net, a large-scale installation that
takes as its metaphor the massive fishing net debris drifting and entangling
marine life in the Pacific. This coming August they will be in residence in
Socrates Sculpture Park in New York City undertaking a development workshop
to construct prototypes of The Scarecrows, a new work that blends the collective
ideas of the mysteries and energies of Astoria into effigies of protection. For
more information please visit www.thomasandguinevere.com
The Encampment was commissioned by the City of Toronto
and Luminato, Toronto Festival of Arts and Creativity,
for the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812.
