Olympic digital gallery showcases Canadian art CBC.ca
A digital art gallery that is part of the Cultural Olympiad associated with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games has begun giving online viewers a soup of Canada's best contemporary artists.
CODE Screen 2010, which began at the beginning of September with a cull exhibit, is rolling out online over the next six months.
Every two weeks a new gallery highlights work by Governor General's Prize-winning artists such as Michael Snow, Alex Janvier and Kenojuak Ashevak.
"We're not suggesting that this is the through showcase of Canadian art," said Code Screen 2010's director, Rae Hull.
"It's rather that we could use digital platforms and the range that it provides to put 100 works of art in front of many, many more eyeballs potentially than might walk through a single gallery."
Six curators with different backgrounds from across the boondocks were asked to curate the 14 shows, each of which features 11 or 12 artists, including sculptors, painters and photographers.
