Summary:

"Canadian artist Juan Geuer's groundbreaking work sits in the threshold between science and art. It bridges the human condition, in all its various states, and the carbon-based ecosystems and oxygenated atmospheres upon which we depend. The exhibition and catalogue Carbon + Light celebrates this artist's significant legacy as a fearless truth seeker. Through his inventive approach to installation, he pointed out the onset of the Anthropocene long before the term emerged to denote the geological period in which we now find ourselves embedded. Here, Geuer's work will be in dialogue with artists with whom he either collaborated, influenced, or worked with in parallel, from Michael Snow to Catherine Richards. The exhibition and catalogue also showcase the importance of Ottawa as the site within which Geuer's surprising practice emerged, suggesting that time and location were instrumental to his ability to develop his unique investigation."-- Provided by publisher.
