February 19 - May 15, 2005
Canadian media artist Dana Claxton unveiled a new video installation titled Landscape #1. Visitors experienced two interwoven landscapes, the nature of the prairies and the cultures who have lived there. It is a painterly expression of the landscape as living, informed by traditional Lakota knowledge, and the philosophy of Mitakuye Oyasin - All My Relations - which means that all things are interconnected and interrelated, whether plant, human, animal or supernatural. Dana Claxton used the media of film, video, photography and performance, often exploring our relationship with nature and the sacred. She has exhibited internationally, is an Adjunct Professor at Emily Carr Institute, and founding Treasurer of the Indigenous Media Arts Group.
