These artists i nvestigate our past and present relationships to resource extraction\, the body and land.
The location of the exhibition in downtown Vancouver—a global resource exploration hub\, major international port and un-ceded Fi rst Nations territory—is home to some 1\,200 junior mining exploration comp anies that operate globally. Coal alone accounts for almost 40% of the tot al volume of goods moved through the Port of Vancouver. At present only thr ee land-claim agreements have been ratified in all of British Columbia.
The exhibition brings together contemporary artists from British Columbi a\, the Northwest Territories\, Nunavut\, Ontario\, Argentina\, Iran and Me xico. Exploring effacement\, memory and remembering this exhibition will c onsider the layered interconnections of policy with respect to resource-bas ed development projects in Canada and globally\, modern technology and arti stic practice.
Ten Thousand Suns is curated by Jerem y Jaud\, a UBC Critical and Curatorial Studies MA Candidate.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the Michael O’Brian
Family Foundation\, the Killy Foundation\, Government of the Northwest Ter
ritories\, and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Depa
rtment of Art History\, Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Mor
