Illingworth Kerr Gallery

Opening Jan 15 Snowpiercer brings together five Canadian artists–Ben Donoghue, Risa Horowitz, Robert Kautuk, Laura Millard and Han Sungpil–whose photography, film and installation explore winter and Arctic landscapes as sites of ecological, cultural and political transformation. Their practices consider environments increasingly shaped by climate change, resource extraction, human intervention and geopolitical interests. From wildfire regeneration in the Rockies and fragile Arctic ecosystems to marine debris, industrial shipping and Inuit experiences of sea ice and seasonal change, the artists offer distinct perspectives on northern landscapes. The exhibition challenges perceptions of winter as empty or static, revealing instead landscapes shaped by history, knowledge, consequence and care. Curated by Tak Pham.
