Abstract
A catalogue to accompany the 1998 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art, comprised of works in a wide range of media – sculpture, installation, painting, photography and digital technology – by 26 artists based in Alberta. In their curatorial essay, Mastin and Crowston suggest that the exhibition looks at how contemporary artists respond to concepts of the frontier. The authors also provide brief interpretations of each artist’s work. The following issues are discussed: the border, the land, colonization, travel, ecology, nature and heroism. Includes artists’ statements. Biographical notes. 14 bibl. ref.
