Editorial Reviews
"...forms a cogent argument about how open-ended, and non-pedantic, Belmore’s work has always been."
<i>Toronto Star</i>
"Belmore’s work has a power that bypasses theory and art-world ‘isms’ to make a direct emotional impact."
<i>Montreal Gazette</i>
"As we move forward in today’s tumultuous political climate, both as individuals and as a country, we have much to learn from Rebecca Belmore and the monumental questions her artworks elicit."
