Misled by Nature: Contemporary Art and the Baroque (English)

Catherine Crowston, Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Jonathan Shaughnessy 

With a focus on six Canadian contemporary artists who emphasize material excess, ornamentation and theatricality in their production, Misled by Nature features spectacular installations that explore hybridity, natural processes and the viewer’s experience.  The catalogue accompanies an exhibition by the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Alberta, and Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.
