Les bâtisseurs. La biennale canadienne 2012 is the National Gallery of Canada’s second exhibition of new Canadian art acquired over the past two years, and features over 100 paintings, sculptures, drawings, videos and multimedia installations created by more than forty artists. In placing emergent practices alongside long-established Canadian artists who have been instrumental in “building” a context for Canadian art today, Builders offers the opportunity to appreciate the range of aesthetic accomplishment in this country.
