Communicating Vessels brings together three generations of Canadian artists from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, with works from 1965 to the present day. These works offer an examination of visual associations that are held by familiar objects and how these assumptions, when disrupted, force a self-conscious renegotiation of the body in its environment. The everyday experience of being in the world is not one of aware perception as consciousness forgets its own phenomena, allowing itself to be constituted by familiar glances. This moment of aware interaction, found in the re-presenting of familiar objects as means of bringing attention to the assumptions of looking, is taken up in the work of IAIN BAXTER&, Luis Jacob, Roula Partheniou and Judy Radul.
