"Pictures for an Exhibition"
In this new instalment of "Pictures for an Exhibition", four Canadian artists belonging to the same generation are brought together around a simple yet complex phrase : Alone together. Solitude being supreme in our core being, how does it express itself in an era of unparallelled connectivity?
How does the way we use new technologies and public spaces, attend great political and religious gatherings and partake of festive events redefine our individuality, intimacy and interiority? Each in their own way, Sarah Anne Johnson, Jeremy Shaw, Jon Rafman and Graeme Patterson reflect on the paradoxes of our society and the concept of community.
"Pictures for an Exhibition" is an evolving cycle of exhibitions based on works from the collection and intended to generate new connections between historical works and recent acquisitions, between the different media and artists of various generations.
