Centre A Presents...TRACT: Installation and Performance by Jenny Ham
For her solo exhibition TRACT, Jenny Ham, a New York-based Korean-Canadian artist, presents a site-specific installation that questions familiar utopian notions of landscape in relation to larger socio-political concerns about private interests and public space, identity and home, everyday life and theatricality. Green space is a rarity in inner-city districts; through her exploration of the relationship between individuals and their surroundings, Ham reveals the complexities of the social body and offers a space for reflection.
