Auto-Biography: Vehicles of identity, community, and globalization

This group exhibition looks to the road as a connective infrastructure which grounds so much of modern life. It is set in relation to contemporary car culture and commuter life along the corridor with the busiest stretch of highway in North America. The project isn’t just about cars, though. These are vehicles for a vast array of social, economic, and inter-cultural distillations of globalization. The invited artists explore aspects of self, hyper-specific communities, and the horizontality of animal, machine and human, whilst historical museological objects establish additional regional context, connecting vehicular histories to a sense of place in Waterloo Region, and highlighting the subtle ways that vehicles become a part of memory and identity.
