Professors Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak have contributed the 3 channel video installation "The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected" to the recently launched exhibition titled Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Acknowledging that Canada’s sesquicentennial represents a narrow slice of time in the larger historical record, Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood aims to address the mistakes of the past, rewrite and reclaim history, and move into the future with new insight. Steele and Tomczak’s artwork is among 33 new and recent projects by artists from across Canada. Curated by Andrew Hunter and Laura Robb, the exhibition will run until December 10, 2017, on the fourth floor of the contemporary tower.

Steele and Tomczack have other artworks on display as part of the traveling exhibition The Long Time: the 21^st Century Work of Steele and Tomczak curated by Paul Wong, which was initially shown in 2013. Central to the exhibit is the "…before I wake trilogy." The result of twelve years of work, it is comprised of three video components: We’re Getting Younger All The Time, Practicing Death, and Entranced. The Long Time will be open at the Dalhousie Art Gallery until July 16, 2017 in Halifax.

Additionally, Lisa Steele has early works included in two exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada. PhotoLab 2: Women Speaking Art will run until September 10, 2017, and Canadian and Indigenous Art: 1968 to Present will run until April 30, 2018. For more information, visit www.gallery.ca.
