Watchman is a collaborative exhibition of work by Saskatchewan-based artists George Glenn and Myles MacDonald. This installation of 12 paintings and plexi-glass display cases explores the relationship of individuals to the topography which surrounds them. It uses their presence on the landscape along Highway #2, between the City of Prince Albert and Prince Albert National Park, to present a unique, haunting, and even apocalyptic perspective of our time.
This highway facilitates transportation between two ideals of modern life, the city and the national park. The former represents a manifestation of the ideals of democratic, capitalist civilization and the latter represents a manifestation of our ideal views of nature. However, the stretch of marginal land that fills the space between these ideals denies these categories and provides a point of view that exposes the failings of them.
