Shadows for Humans, 2003/04 Marble
NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA, OTTAWA ON
Shine a Light: Canadian Biennial 2014
17 Oct 2014 - 08 Mar 2015
Contemporary Art Galleries
The exhibition Shine a Light highlights a selection of recent acquisitions to the National Gallery of Canada’s Canadian Contemporary, Indigenous and Photography holdings. It showcases some of the best and most innovative works being made today in a variety – and often combination of – media, from video and film to drawing and painting, photography to sculpture and installation. It reveals the unique ways contemporary Canadian artists are responding to the larger social and political state of the world through their art and how they are choosing interdisciplinary modes of self-expression that transcend traditional categories, materials and genres. The exhibition takes the pulse of contemporary art production in Canada as it becomes part of our national art history.
