Timothy Comeau  |  Parks Canada or the Technonaissance?
July 10 - August 5, 01

Comeau, who received a BFA from NSCAD in 1999, now lives in Ajax, ON. This collection of recent work features drawings, photographs and bookworks that explore the aesthetic ideaology of the manufactured suburban landscape. Comeau puts a Sci-Fi spin to a rennaissance reading of contemporary urban sprawl. States the artists:

I have long been interested in how the future would look upon the present. I have long felt a connection to history and the relationship between lives lived and the objects left behind. And so, as I drove around Ajax, loathing it's car friendly design over the pedistrian, the seeming insane joy at development, and the confirmation of certain suburb sterotypes (the popularity of SUV's for instance) I began to think, this is all an historicism. These things will not last.
