LOCATIONS/miniature investigates the phenomenon of the public

The name is a play on a 1983 public art exhibition called LOCATIONS/National in which large scale art was placed around Canadian cities and then documented in local galleries. This kind of grand public art has become popular again through events
like Nuit Blanche.

Jen Hutton's site-specific installation at the DeLeon White Gallery
inverts the logic of the large site-specific monument through her
refiguring of an unexplained pink and blue landmass she found in her
hometown. While Hutton's installation is anything but miniature, it
looks close up at the microscopic level, recreating the sense of
intimate place she felt at the original site.

Mark MacKinnon's printed matter work "Centre for the Arts" will allow the visitor to take home their own miniature art centre. This work takes a closer look at the culture industry, the appearance of its architecture, and draws comparisons between the personal finance industry and the 'artist.'

Miniature is not a location. It is necessarily a characteristic of
the experience of a place, the interior landscape of the self.
