CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Adad Hannah: Blackwater Ophelia
May 1 - August 3, 2015
Organized by the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery, this exhibition differs significantly from the first time the Blackwater Ophelia work was displayed in Sarnia-Lambton. The uncanny crate, complete with a realistic range of foliage appears again, physically separate from the original tableaux vivants video. Joining these original components are a series of four photographs, all recent acquisitions to the permanent collection. This project required a huge amount of assistance from many different people across Lambton County and there is a dynamic community map of the process of creating this exhibition.
