Wedge Curatorial Projects was founded by collector Dr. Kenneth Montague in 1997, and was conceived to be simultaneously a private and public experience – the original gallery space existed inside Montague’s home in Toronto. Literally ‘wedged’ inside the narrow hallways of his loft, Montague was able to showcase and promote works from his extensive collection of photo-based works in a way that was unconventional yet intimate. The collection, which explores notions of black subjectivity and cultural representation, includes work by artists from Canada, the United States and throughout the Diaspora.

Wedge is a non-profit organization established in April 2010, governed by five board of directors: Julie Crooks, Warren Crichlow, Owen Gordon, Sophie Hackett, Kenneth Montague. Wedge gratefully acknowledges it’s supporters, Board of Directors and partners in presentation.


The Wedge Collection lends works to international and traveling shows, including Barkley Hendricks’ Birth of Cool, Deborah Willis’ Posing Beauty. The Collection also houses an extensive amount of resource materials ranging from books, art journals, newspapers, magazines and exhibition and artist documentation.
