Join us on Thursday 1 October for the opening of American Remediation. The exhibition revisits a series of documentaries produced by the U.S. Department of the Interior in the 1950s and their role in constructing, reinforcing, and circulating a mythical image of U.S. American culture on a global scale. Through this project, a selection of the now-disintegrating films depicting an environmental imaginary of the modern landscape and its infrastructures are re-mediated and re-contextualized to generate new political meanings and new publics within the American landscape.

The exhibition opens at 5pm. At 6pm in the Paul-Desmarais Theatre, the curator of the exhibition, Andy Lu Lee, will introduce the project as well as his curatorial approach.

Entrance is free and registration to access the exhibition and celebration in the Shaughnessy House is not required. However, as space is limited in the theatre, registration is recommended for the opening talk. Click here to register.

Andy Lu Lee is the CCA 2024–2025 Emerging Curator.
