This group art exhibition playfully acknowledges Queen Elizabeth’s II Diamond Jubilee in 2012 by aligning artists with monarchists and/or anarchists.
The work reacts to the monarchy’s hold on our society. Its prevalence in our currency, government and military institutions is scrutinized in the wake of the G20 and Occupy movements in Canada.
The artists explore Canada’s identity, from Will And Kate’s royal wedding and visit, to the G20 and Occupy Movement, to Prince Charles and Camilla’s arrival for 2012. Can Coronation Street really represent us anymore, or is Canada ready for the Sex Pistols?
