Patrick Hughes' Venice in Peril will be shown at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies as part of the exhibition
The
exhibition draws on imagery from numerous artistic genres and eras spanning the
mid-1800s industrial era to current global pursuits. This visually stunning and
timely orchestrated compilation of historic and contemporary painting, video
and installations will examine the beauty and peculiarity of Earth’s greatest
resource. Acclaimed throughout time for its unpredictability, tranquil
qualities, ritual and hygienic uses, nourishment and abundance, the purity of
water and its sources are under threat. Contingent on water for survival, the
existence of humans and wildlife are also in peril.
