For two decades, Edmonton-based artist Christina Battle has innovated the forms contemporary art can take–video series, participatory web-based projects, and iterative multimedia installations–to sound a public address about our shared future on a damaged planet as a result of natural resource extraction, pollution, and human-caused global warming.
In Under Metallic Skies, some of the artist’s ongoing projects have been reconfigured. Older and newer pieces are presented in proximity to one another to encourage expanded or new interpretations. These involve ideas of emergence and alternative, more equitable economies, and remediation on both biological and social scales.
