Douglas Coupland: Our Modern World
Among the many characteristics of his practice, Coupland is known for his re-contextualization of contemporary cultural trends and how they are articulated by the latest technology. Our Modern World addresses larger societal obsessions by revealing the artist’s personal ones. These examinations are divided into three new bodies of work: Deep Face, Trash Vortex and The Montecristos.

BRAD TINMOUTH
Hydroponic Tower (Side Table) is a NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system that uses a low draw pump to pull hydroponic solution from a 5 gallon reservoir towards the roots of a plant. The solution becomes oxygenated as it drips onto the roots, coating them with a film that contains all of the plants required nutrients. Because of the closed nature of this system little liquid is evaporated making it one of the most efficient hydroponic systems.

Detention
When compared to other countries in the Western world, migrant detention in Canada is unique. Notoriously, Canada does not follow recognized international human rights norms for migrant detainees; for example, in addition to the three immigration detention centres that exist in the country currently, Canada uses maximum security prisons to hold detainees for ‘administrative’ purposes. There is currently no independent monitoring of conditions inside of detention centres (in which Canada also incarcerates children) or over the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Canada’s immigration enforcement body. The work of Tings Chak and Sheena Hoszko responds to this egregious denial of justice and dignity. Their works not only attempt to make visible an often invisible migrant prison population, but also locate and formulate the hidden spaces in which violence is inflicted on the bodies of migrants in Canada.
