Ottawa Art Gallery exhibit, Burning Cold. June 18 - August 30, 2009.
"A group exhibition of up-and-coming artists, Burning Cold represents a multiplicity of voices and cutting-edge media. It explores unique aesthetic and cultural issues, and seeks to broaden the awareness and understanding of emerging contemporary art practices and issues in Northern and Southern Canada. The artists included in this exhibition employ divergent, original and sometimes unconventional artistic strategies to deal with a variety of themes and issues, such as populous and remote communities; interconnectedness and isolation in urban and rural environments; the diverse cultural, social and aesthetic experiences of northern Aboriginal peoples; and the “myths” of the North versus the “realities” of the South."
