Banff Arts Centre: Elliptical Lineages

This page is also available in / Cette page est également disponible en: Français (French)

Elliptical Lineages presents the work of artists that engage the creative practices of a family member or those whom they consider kin. Complicating conventional ideas of artistic lineage, the exhibition aims to embrace the complexity of exchange and transmission of knowledge across generations. Whether through the ongoing collaborative practice of a parent and child or contributions by four generations of a family on a single work, a linear understanding of lineage itself here shifts into the elliptical, as transfers of knowledge, influence and exchange at times bend back or loop.
