Ms Bethuneieamen’s videos, sculptures (she builds her own version of a meteorite for this exhibition) and paintings make you think twice about the images being presented and those you see daily. The new work is the continu- ation of the themes she began exploring in the ‘dazzle ships’ paintings she exhibited at the Stouffville gallery last year. What do the images you see everyday, on TV, in the media, tell us? Is there a final moment to these ideas or is everything in the midst of becoming? The exhibition presents sev- eral video projections including a re-enactment of Robert Peary surrounded by the northern land- scape.
