April 20–May 20, 1990

Assuming the forms of art to expose the forms of art, Montreal artist Andrew Forster works within the post-modernist strategy of appropriation to present a questioning of traditional notions of art history, modernism, the artist authenticity, the Museum and its epistemology and most recently the hidden systems of control operating in society.  The latest in Forster’s multimedia installation works, Home examines notions of “home”, and a basic human desire for security as a potent tool used to instill xenophobia, racism and increased acceptance of authority.
