To envision is to picture oneself. Gathered in this exhibition are fourteen emerging artists who tackle various aspects of identity and environments.

From the corporeal to the ethereal, from self-sustained behaviors to subcultures, these artists analyze conscious and sub conscious behaviors of people within environments and landscapes.

Les Territoires is pleased to present Lignes imaginaires, a solo exhibition by artist Karen Zalamea (04). Lignes Imaginaires draws connections between physical gestures and mechanical modes of production. Through photographs and a video and sculpture-based installation, Zalamea shows evidence of repeated actions, revealing processes driven by both object-making and performance.

Pierre Leichner (07) presents From Transcendence to ‘Altercendence’ at the MediaModes conference at the New York School of Visual Arts.

Leichner will explore the biological, psychological, cultural and spiritual facets of transcendence. Especially the renewed symbiotic relationship between the sciences and the art, the convergence of digital media and the emergence of global communication networks, we are at the verge of art that will create a change, an altercendent state.

Emily Carr University of Art + Design alumna Elizabeth Zvonar (01) exhibits at the Contemporary Art Gallery (CAG), Vancouver.

On Time includes an array of sculptures and collage that act as possible portals into implausible places. The inspiration of the exhibition stems from Zvonar's current interest in the connections between Cubism, representations of the 4th Dimension and rubber bands as metaphors for time.
