Drawing on mythologies and historical events associated with actual locations, Prague-based artist Tereza Zelenkova creates photographs that are often informed by her interest in literature and local histories, and convey a mysterious, timeless quality. CONTACT invited Zelenkova to create a site-specific installation of her work at Campbell House Museum—built in 1822, an inimitable landmark in Toronto’s urban centre.

Anong Migwans Beam at Campbell House – Curator’s Walk-Through and Artist’s Response

This video was recorded on November 5, 2020 and includes an exhibit walk-through by guest curator, Elka Weinstein, followed by a question-and-answer period with the artist, Anong Migwans Beam.

Questions asked by the video conference audience:

How do you make your paints?

When you are making your own paints can you precisely match the colours – so a red you make in June will it be the same as the red you make in September ?

What is your favourite piece currently on display?

Do you paint from life, photo, imagination etc? How long did it take you to paint Deluge? It’s such a large scale, but with so much intriguing detail.

Deluge seems accessible to all ages. Do you think of the view er? What do you think of the Cadillac painting against the Campbell House wallpaper?

Can you explain the dye transfer process?
