Back/Flash is an examination of aboriginal media art ranging from early video production to ground-breaking video installation, virtual reality, net art, and digital works. By turns amusing, accusing, enlightening and provocative, this exhibition presents installations by Thirza Cuthand, David Garneau, Zachery Longboy, Mike MacDonald, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, as well as computer-based works by Skawennati Tricia Fragnito and Ahasiw Maskegon-Iskwew and single channel video by Cat Cayuga, Dana Claxton, Stephen Foster, Zacharius Kanuk, Steven Loft, Darlene Naponse, and Shelley Niro. Curator Dana Claxton comments that these artists “use technology to tell stories, contest the stolen and broken landscape, make new meanings from old tired images and create new narratives that locate aboriginality within discourses of place, self, historicity and the machine.” The exhibition is organized and circulated by the Walter Phillips Gallery at The Banff Centre.
