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.

The cover of Alice Stoehr's Again, Harder. The book has black letters on a lilac background. In the middle of the cover is a red rectangle with a black line drawing of it. The drawing is of two figures entangled; they have human bodies but animal heads. The same image serves as the background behind the image of the book cover.
