A two-part exhibition, co-produced by the Canadian Cultural Centre and the Grantham Foundation for Art and the Environment. The artists brought together in the exhibition Contrast and Indifference travel the world, constantly confronting foreign contexts into which they allow themselves to enter, gently and attentively, and bear witness to what happens there. Travel is essential to their approach, as is a form of solitude conducive to observation and encounters. Guided by a critical awareness and a sensitivity to others, they reveal some of the staggering disproportions affecting humanity here and there on our planet. Avoiding the spectacular, by constantly connecting surface issues and deeper ones, they recount the tensions of the contemporary world.
