Video Adventures: The Border: Globalization & Postcolonization
Guelph: Macdonald Stewart Art Centre, 2001
Exhibition catalogue.
"This exhibition has several objectives: first, to present a sample of the work of artists who are caught between cultures, in particular those who take us on mythic journeys through Latin America; second, to offer a perspective on a n open-ended investigation of personal and collective identity undertaken through film and video; and third, to explore the border as a metaphor shaping poetic visions.
This film and video exploration of Latin America introduces a mythical, representational, and discursive space distinct from Latin American thought and tradition." (from catalogue)
