Exhibition

An Era of Discontent: Art as 
Occupation
October 12 to December 31, 2012
KAG Main Galleries
    The Kamloops Art Gallery´s final exhibition of 
    2012, An Era of Discontent: Art as Occupation, 
    brings together artwork that speaks to the current 
    momentum of Occupy movements and Arab 
    Spring revolutions, which are radically 
    transforming our global reality. A group exhibition 
    containing work in wide ranging mediums such as 
    silkscreened posters, large-scale sculptures, 
    video and installation works, An Era of 
    Discontent: Art as Occupation offers diverse 
    artistic responses to local and world politics, 
    shifting social moralities, and destabilizing 
    balances of power.
    The exhibition comprises work by regionally, 
    nationally and internationally based artists, some 
    of whom have made work specifically for the 
    exhibition. It also contains work on loan from 
    private and institutional collections. Artists include 
    Christoph Buchel, Sabine Bitter and Helmut 
    Weber, Younes Bouadi and Jonas Staal (New 
    World Summit project), In Protest, Cameron Kerr, 
    Teresa Marshall, Alex Morrison, John Sharkey, 
    Holly Ward and Elizabeth Zvonar.
