 I heard a story a few years ago about a nineteenth-century photographer. His entire body of work consisted of hundreds of glass-plate negatives that no one wanted when he died. Eventually, someone took the glass plates to make walls for a greenhouse.  We live in an age of disappearances, a time of loss and change, with mass extinctions and vanishing eco-regions.  By Jacques Doyon The internationally known artist Antoni Muntadas will present a new exhibition titled The Construction of Fear at Galerie SBC art contemporain in Montreal, from 28 February to 18 April 2009.

The 2005 instalment of the project – On Translation: I Giardini – was composed of a central interactive installation work, as well as photographic, video, and Web-based components.  Before Would anyone line up to see Antoni Muntadas’s art? I doubt it. Although he is well established and highly regarded, he is not a star of the art world, his exhibitions are far too cerebral and time-consuming, and, more often than not, his images neither celebrate nor seduce.  Multidisciplinary artist Mike Yuhasz’s Great North Development Group project explores the way we conceive of and relate to land in today’s complex world.
