Secret Handshake
What makes Canadians Canadian?
What do we identify with that others don’t recognize?
One of the rooms of the exhibit features Coupland’s re-imagining of famous Canadian paintings, paintings by Tom Thomson and Lawren Harris of the Group of Seven to name a couple.
In the center of the room is a black metal structure that is supposed to represent a damaged hydro transmission tower reminiscent of the ones damaged by the eastern Canada ice storm of 1998.
