Human Nature presents fourteen contemporary Ontario artists whose works look at the state of the natural world and our impact on it. Playing on the idea of human nature as a force that exploits and innovates, creates and destroys, the artists explore a range of such critical issues as food production, habitat loss, post-industrialization, and natural disaster. Taken together, the works of these artists reflect on human constructions and the complex interconnections between nature, culture, and technology. Human Nature is presented in collaboration with the National Arts Centre’s Ontario Scene.
