Community Spotlight: Lyndl Hall: On Fixing Position
Burnaby Art Gallery
6344 Deer Lake Avenue
June 1 - June 24, 2012
The Burnaby Art Gallery is proud to display artwork from Lyndl Hall as this year's Community Spotlight Exhibit.
Predicated as a conceptual drawing project, this work will engage with latitude and longitude as invisible structuring lines, as well as the sextant, compass and sundial as interrelated tools that produce or engage with these lines and by which we orient ourselves; forming a base standard for perception of space, time and movement they become the means to conquer, control and subdue open spaces and the bodies within these spaces. Cartography, colonial exploration, the technologies of the enlightenment and the social ramifications of these tools inform this body of work.
