How Not to Be Seen
Group Exhibition
May 10 – September 8, 2024
How Not to Be Seen features works by a roster of artists from Canada and abroad, including Brook Andrew, Zach Blas, Sandra Brewster, Charles Campbell, Nick Cave, David Garneau, Sondra Perry, Amalia Pica, Hito Steyerl, and Haegue Yang. These artists employ strategies either to abstract the self or to use opacity and withdrawal as forms of resistance to these networks of exploitation. From various perspectives and with a range of approaches, these artists all interrupt the expectation that art makes things visible for everyone to see, creating instead new spaces of shelter, protection, and community.
