In this 40th Anniversary issue of Visual Arts News there is a focus on The New Nova Scotia, where young painters like Waka Okabayashi commune with flowers, connecting with them as though they’re sentient beings; Artists pick up where their parent’s generation left off, staging their utopian dreams for living together better on this planet on Cape Breton Island; Lou Sheppard transforms the spaces between words in a diagnostic text listing criteria for gender dysphoria into bursts of dance, recoding them as queer spaces; and Ursula Johnson’s work appears like a an ad-style intervention.
