O Canada Magnet

Joyce Wieland (1930-1998)
O Canada, 4-16 December 1970

Wieland emerged on Toronto’s experimental visual-arts scene in the early 1960s. The first living woman artist to be granted a solo exhibition at the NGC, she blended pop-art strategies with a sly sense of humour. O Canada represents a pair of lips as they sound out the syllables of the national anthem.
