Gone: Removed Public Art in Ottawa/Unceded Anishinaabeg (Algonquin) Territory (2018)
Gone is an artist publication—a fold-out poster/map that maps out the ghost locations of now-disappeared public art. For the launch of the publication, I presented (with the Ottawa Art Gallery) a to-scale projection of a well-known public sculpture that once sat in the city’s Confederation Park. Traffic (1969) by Ed Zelenak, was a controversial work of “plop-art” that received national media attention as a waste of public funding.

Research was done at Ottawa’s city and federal archives. Co-designed with designer Frederique Gagnon. Commissioned by the Ottawa Art Gallery for the exhibition Àdisòkàmagan / Nous connaître un peu nous-mêmes / We’ll all become stories (2018).
