Artist Talk: February 3 – 1 pm
Paul Walde explores the unexpected interconnections between landscape, identity, and technology through interdisciplinary performance works staged in the natural world. Weather Events brings together two video installations that draw connections between how we perceive landscapes and interact with our world.
In the Reid Gallery, a 28-foot-wide projection features Requiem for a Glacier, a video installation and site-specific performance work that memorializes BC’s Jumbo Glacier, under threat from both climate change and resort development.
In the West Gallery, we are screening the inaugural installation of Of Weather (for Geoff Hendricks), an outdoor performance on an abandoned industrial site on the shore of Lake Ontario. Together, these two works reveal a depth of practice that investigates the boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
