Location
Scene Otherwise takes a number of artistic conventions and images and re-imagines them in terms of contemporary concerns. The first exhibition of the work of Condé + Beveridge in Toronto in over eight years, it brings together a number of projects that address issues of the environment, economics and politics.
Included in the exhibition are works on the four elements: The Fall of Water (the global politics of water based on a painting by Bruegel) , Salt of the Earth ( a black and white series produced in collaboration with migrant farm workers) , UnderFire (a studio portrait of Greenpeace activists) and Airwave (a 7.5 minute video based on Michael Snow's Wavelength). Other works include The Plague (a portrait of the 2008 financial crisis), Liberty Lost (a response to the G20 police actions in Toronto), and Multiple Exposures (a series depicting a single landscape that changes over 600 years).
