OVERTIME FOR OIL
June 16, 8-10pm
Urbanspace Gallery — 401 Richmond
"As climate change becomes increasingly visible, the cultural expression of this crisis is critical. The shift to sustainability is a cultural as well political
and economic issue. It requires that we change how we see the world.”
Carole Condé + Karl Beveridge
With another NHL season drawing to a close —in the heat of mid-June— join us for an event inspired by the collision of hockey culture and climate change, as depicted
in Condé and Beveridge’s work Overtime (2016), now showing in the Public Exposures exhibition at 401 Richmond.
