Instant Coffee is an art collective based out of Toronto, ON, and Vancouver, BC. Instant Coffee is a service oriented collective developed to address the division between studio and exhibition based practices in both cities. The collective’s work includes installation and event based activities geared towards building space for public practices which allow ideas and actions to be explored beyond the confines and isolation of the studio. Instant Coffee has been made up of a number of members since its founding in 2000, most consistently Cecilia Berkovic, Jinhan Ko, Kelly Lycan, Jenifer Papararo, Kate Monro and Khan Lee. Part of Instant Coffee’s social practice includes circulating local art event mailing lists in Toronto, Vancouver, and the Prairies.
