A source of shelter and sustenance, fuel and tools, decoration and adornment, medicine and myth, humanity’s history and evolution is intimately entangled with that of the plant kingdom – an impossibly rich, ancient and abundant form of life on earth, but one utterly different from our own. The Botanical Mind: Art, Mysticism and the Cosmic Tree brings together the work of over 50 artists, spanning more than 500 years, to investigate the ongoing significance of the plant kingdom to human life, consciousness and spirituality. In doing so it highlights the subjectivity and being of plants, their influence on various knowledge-forms and wisdom-traditions, and how we engage with and activate them in culture, counter-culture, art and music.

SHIMMERING HORIZONS
Jan 15, 2021 - Jan 14, 2022
A Virtual Group Exhibition by Or Gallery, Vancouver (Canada) and Canada House, London
 
Artists:
Asinnajaq, Meagan Musseau, Marina Roy, Tania Willard, Elizabeth Zvonar
Curated by Laurie White
 
Shimmering Horizons brings together works by five Canadian artists that offer visions of future life-ways on Earth. The exhibition puts the idea of shimmer―a concept described by writer and anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose as the aesthetic experience of ecological complexity and ancestral power―into productive alignment with the image of the horizon, a potent metaphor for the future.
 
In these works, horizons shimmer both literally and figuratively: the glimmer of stars and the aurora borealis make palpable the potency of ancestral and ecological inheritance—the future enfolded by the past. Through a range of media, including basketry, video, painting, and digital collage, the artists in Shimmering Horizons offer alternative visions of the future that prioritize continuity, adaptation, and resilience.

YU JI : WASTED MIND
Jan 30 - Apr 25, 2021
Motivated by an acute sensitivity to materials, Yu Ji’s work explores a tension between matter and energy. Recurring materials used in her work, such as cement, wood, metal, organic matter and plastic, all have their distinctive characteristics, tactility and temperatures. In her installations, she works with these materials to oppose, rub and strike against one another, as well as explore how they might merge through a process of absorption.
