Drawn Positions: Geographies and Communities

18 Oct 2008 - 17 Feb 2009

An exhibition that brings together the work of three Canadian artists whose practice positions drawing as a subjective document of field research, as reportage of a particular set of experiences and as exchange and interaction with others. Alison Norlen (Saskatoon), Susan Turcot (London, UK / Quebec) and Lucie Chan (Halifax) each push the material limits of drawing and explore the medium as a means of producing experiential knowledge of the world in which we live.
