Auto-Motive: World from the Windshield
June 9 – August 31st, 2013
Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens & at Centennial Square
Auto-Motive: World From the Windshield brings together eighteen artists who examine notions of place, perception, and emotional experience from the interior of a car. This exhibition is organized at a time when the moving landscape progressively occupies more time in people's lives: Canadians, on average, spend 63 minutes each day in a car making the round trip between their home and their workplace.

Employing numerous media, these artists
demonstrate that the car windshield has become a ubiquitous cultural
lens. As an enduring icon of contemporary culture, the car remains vital
as a source of adventure and discovery–its windshield permitting
swiftly observed views of vast territory and scale, both built and
natural.
The artworks assembled here explore the
material relations and sensations that coalesce behind the windshield.
They speak to various outlooks, revealing the car as a driving force for
urban change, a site of thought and reflection, and a place for new
spatialities and imagined journeys. Together, these works direct us to
the car as an otherwise prosaic space that connects external realities
with inner worlds.
