Developing out of several micro-residencies and informal collaborations,
artists Annie Briard, Tara Nicholson, Melany Nugent-Noble, Andreas
Rutkauskas, Dr. prOphecy sun and Leah Weinstein explore land-based forms of
creative research and interdisciplinary practice.

Investigating the concept of fieldwork as divergent from the Western
scientific construct, these artists utilize various forms of art to explore
our rapidly shifting environment, including sound recording, data gathering
and visualization, sculpture, video and photography.

Drawing on forms of narrative, activism and empathic witnessing, this
exhibition asks what role the site plays within the notion of fieldwork.
The exhibition seeks to consider how artists and their audiences might
respond to the climate crisis through creative means.

Join us at the Lake Country Art Gallery on Saturday, October 14th from 1 to
3pm for an Open House Reception. Meet the artists and gallery staff, bring
your questions, comments and a friend or two.
