Please join Carleton University Art Gallery (CUAG) for a reception celebrating the opening of our summer blockbuster exhibition, Human Nature.

Human Nature presents fourteen contemporary Ontario artists whose works look at the state of the natural world and our impact on it. Playing on the idea of human nature as a force that exploits and innovates, creates and destroys, the artists explore a range of such critical issues as food production, habitat loss, post-industrialization, and natural disaster. Taken together, the works of these artists reflect on human constructions and the complex interconnections between nature, culture, and technology.

Featuring guest speakers Dr. Roseann O’Reilly Runte, President, Carleton University, and Heather Moore, Producer and Executive Director, Ontario Scene. The curator, Corinna Ghaznavi, and many of the artists in the exhibition will be present at the opening, including Mary Anne Barkhouse, Martin Golland, Kelly Jazvac, Gareth Lichty, Gavin Lynch, David Ruben Piqtoukun, and Ivan Jurakic and Tor Lukasik-Foss of TH&B.

A special set by DJ Memetic based on his new 2xLP album RIDEAU2RICHMOND will also be presented.

Human Nature is presented in collaboration with the National Arts Centre’s Ontario Scene.

Discount parking passes ($4.00 flat rate) will be available for sale at the tunnel entrance commencing at 4:45 pm. See the visiting page of CUAG’s website for directions and details of the new visitor parking in the P18 parkade.
