Shine a Light Surgir de l'ombre: Canadian Biennial 2014 (Bilingual)

Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Greg Hill, Andrea Kunard, Jonathan Shaughnessy and Rhiannon Vogl

Shine a Light Surgir de l’ombre highlights an exemplar selection of recent acquisitions to the National Gallery of Canada’s Canadian Contemporary, Indigenous and Photographs holdings. This biennial showcases the production of twenty-six artists from different generations and backgrounds, and features over eighty works ranging from film and video installations to sculptures, paintings, drawings and photographs. Often looking to past events, literature, films, places, cultural movements and traditions, the artists in the exhibition are very much ingrained in issues of the present day. Their works encourage us to reconsider time and the writing of history, our relationship to the natural world, the powerful role of images in how information is communicated, and how we perceive and interpret accepted facts.

Featured artists: David Armstrong Six, Shuvinai Ashoona, Nicolas Baier, Shary Boyle, Edward Burtynsky, Tammi Campbell, Mario Doucette, Geoffrey Farmer, David Hartt, Isabelle Hayeur, Phillippa Jones, Stéphane La Rue, Rita Letendre, An Te Liu, David McMillan, Damian Moppett, Luke Parnell, Vanessa Paschakarnis, Ed Pien, Tim Pitsiulak, Kelly Richardson, Jeremy Shaw, Althea Thauberger, Jutai Toonoo, Howie Tsui, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun
