The Highway Code

About

In collaboration with artists from three Canadian organisations (The Garth Homer Society, The Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts and In-Definite Arts), Project Ability presents The Highway Code, an alternative Museum of Transport. This exhibition is the first of a series of creative partnerships which seeks to connect artists with disabilities and features new work from Canada's leading artist studios on the theme of transport; a recurring subject in the Project Ability studio and also a mutual interest of the exhibiting Canadian artists. In response to the world outside and methods of travel, the works collectively explore an enhanced view of road networks, trains, buses stretching to astral viewpoints of space travel and fantastical imagined systems. The exhibition is a reflection on conceptions of travel, as experienced by artists with disability in a world caught between an industrial past and an electronic future.
