Along with video, the work of the nearly 20 Canadian artists displayed in Seriously? comes in a range of materials, from ceramics and beadwork, to cartoons and performative faux autopsies. Some pieces comment on mainstream culture and identity politics and others on, according to the gallery’s description, “the rhythms of lives spent close to nature and their communities.” Styles include “the folksy Victoria school, Vancouver’s edgy Intermedia scene, Halifax conceptualism, Regina funk and First Nations artists’ embrace of manga and comics.”
