Sinking Feeling
Or Gallery, Vancouver, BC - To Apr 29
Most of the five artists in this group exhibition are based in Miami, a city described here as “ground zero” for rising sea levels owing to global climate change. Faced with the real possibility of a two-foot surge within the next 40 years, essentially drowning the city, the artists employ video and photography to express both the vulnerability they feel concerning their doomed homes and histories – and the paradox of the way Miami sells itself as a tropical paradise and tourist destination. Alarming parallels can be drawn to coastal communities worldwide.
