Continuing in the Dark Room: sacrifice of war

Tuesday 20 August 2024 - See works in graphite and colour by Daniel Hanequand in the third floor Dark Room, one of nine exhibit spaces in this public art museum. Daniel Hanequand had direct experience of war. Some years after surviving that experience he made these pieces, eight in total. We did not have occasion to meet him but we met his wife, Maria Carla, and she bequeathed some of his work to us. I think that we are living in a time when we need to reflect upon the madness and sacrifice of war. It is a privilege to be able to show this work which does not champion political sides but instead awakes us to the enormous cost to all of us if we allow ourselves to be infected by hate. -Curator, Deborah Harris - 80 Gerrard St E, Toronto, ON M5B 1G6, Canada - Event Details
