Cuba Still (Remake) started with a publicity still for a forgotten film which Hannah purchased in Havana. Hannah restored to the screen, for the purposes of video capture, the six characters from the original image. The resulting six videos were then screened side by side in order to remake the sequence of the seemingly motionless images into a single cinematic image. An ingenious projecting mechanism completes the original images to crystallize the respective natures of photography and film.

The exhibition aims to reveal the unique ways contemporary Canadian artists are tackling the larger social and political state of the world through their art and how they are choosing interdisciplinary modes of self-expression that transcend and explode traditional categories, materials, and genres.

Ten works by four contemporary Canadian artists will be joining the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario after an evening of important acquisitions at the annual art fair’s Opening Night Preview.
