Expeditions art installation

By Bradley Turcotte • September 21, 2012 7:22 am EDT

Canadian landscapes will be the focus of the Expeditions art installation, which opens today, Friday, Sept 21 at the Ottawa Art Gallery.

The group exhibition presents in a variety of mediums, from video to visual. Still, do not expect simple images of fields of forests. Nuit Blanche describes the landscapes you will see as alien and foreign, challenging the perception of classic art.

Artists displaying include Ottawa’s Penny McCann, Stockholm’s Cecilia Nygren and Toronto’s Katie Bethune-Leaman.
