Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff, AB - Feb 1 – May 31

by Robin Laurence

This multimedia show, by the acclaimed interdisciplinary artist and musician Rita McKeough, imagines a dark, subterranean realm, where complex systems of animal and plant life are threatened by human enterprises such as urban development and resource extraction. Governor General’s Award winner McKeough is renowned for addressing social and environmental issues, her combination of humour and criticality, and her installations incorporating electronic media, sound and performance.
