Caught in the Act: The Viewer as Performer (English)

Josée Drouin-Brisebois 

Caught in the Act: The Viewer as Performer is an ambitious exhibition which attests to the National Gallery of Canada's ongoing commitment to contemporary Canadian art. Eleven artists and collectives present an occasion for us to explore our roles as active participants in the artistic process; the active exchange between viewer and object becomes as significant as the artwork itself. The exhibition catalogue documents sixteen large-scale sculptural installations, while the essays provide illuminating perspectives on the artists' works in Caught in the Act.
