Janet Bellotto at International Projects (01/06/2017)


Janet Bellotto participated in the symposium "An Ocean Archive" held as part of the organization "My Art Guides: Venice Meeting Point". The symposium took place at Navy's Officer Club in Venice on May 12. Established to encourage international dialogue in contemporary art with the goal of fostering collaboration opportunities between visual artists, art organizations and the international arts community, this four-day event was accompanied by talks, presentations, debates, screenings, dinners, and cocktails.

 

Bellotto also took part in the group show "Postcard" held at the Harbourfront Center in Canada. The show, which can be seen between June 23 and September 17, was curated by Patrick Macaulay and challenges the transient nature of travel imagery. Other artists are: Darren Rigo, Yvonne Lammerich, and Andrew McGill. The works at the show focus on the fact that a contemporary reading of a location is not merely the capturing of place, but the creation of works that convey a close comprehension of locale.
