We're delighted to announce that Luke Parnell (MAA '12) has been selected to exhibit in the National Gallery of Canada's Shine a Light: Canadian Biennale 2014.
Shine a Light highlights a selection of recent acquisitions to the National Gallery of Canada’s Canadian Contemporary, Indigenous and Photography holdings. It showcases some of the best most innovative works being made today in a variety – and often combination of- media, from video and film to drawing and painting, photography to sculpture and installation. It reveals the unique ways contemporary Canadian artists are responding to the larger social and political state of the world through their art and how they are choosing interdisciplinary modes of self-expression that transcend traditional categories, materials and genres. The exhibition takes the pulse of contemporary art production in Canada as it becomes part of our national art history.
The exhibition runs October 14 - March 8, 2015. Along with exhibiting his work, Luke will present an artist talk, October 18.
