Yoko Takashima:<br>face-scape
Yoko Takashima, still from installation, 2003
Date:
June 14, 2003 - September 14, 2003 The Art Gallery has commissioned a work by Victoria artist Yoko Takashima. For this exhibition, she addresses the Group of Seven's status as an icon of national identity. At the same time, she questions the undercurrent of Euro-centrism, colonialism and patriarchy that is embedded in the readings of their work. Takashima's time-based, interactive project will incorporate ongoing responses of Gallery visitors and generate a cumulative image to reflect the "face" of these consumers of Canadian identity.
