Yvonne Feng. Hardship. Canada

Canada is an officially bilingual English/French nation of immense and spectacular geography, populated by people who have immigrated from all regions of the globe.

This diversity is reflected in the artworks of fifty-two young Canadians from across eastern, central, and western Canada who have created contemporary art ranging from multimedia, digital photography, and pictorial soundscapes, to video and rotoscoping. For Eksperimenta!, these young artists have explored the theme of space in a variety of uniquely Canadian ways. Read more

Inga Raukas from Allianss Arhitektid shared the story of how the Eksperimenta! exhibition area is created and completed.

An exhibition must also be easily viewed and comprehensible to the visitor. That is why we used various unifying and space-organizing solutions, such as the Eksperimenta! exclamation mark signs and “information posts”.
