Trans/mission: Drought Simulation (detail)
Work ID: 1955
Description: The larger photographic mural is made from a photographic calender produced in 1980 by the Instituto de Pastoral Andina, Peru. The people in the photograph are from a Quechua farming cooperative near Cuzco. The two side murals were taken in the main supermarket in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The "hydroponic experiment" replicates an experiment carried out at the University of Guelph in 1988 where polyethylene glycol (8000)/anti-freeze simulates the effects of drought on potato plants. The collapsed pyramids of gold potatoes under the tables are commonly known as Idaho baking potatoes. Over 2000 different kinds of potatoes have been grown in the Andes of South America for over 5000 years. The woven alforja saddle bag was brought from an andean farmer in 1979. It originally contained potatoes. (From exhibition catalogue "All That Has Value", McIntosh Gallery et al, 1995/96.)

Trans/mission: Thanksgiving (detail 1 of 2)
Work ID: 1956
Description: The central image was taken by Robert Frechette during the 'Oka crisis', summer 1990. The Quebec police are being pelted with corn cobs and other vegetables by people from Chateauguay, Quebec, who were protesting against the Mohawk blockades. They had broken into a produce truck which was in the process of fuelling at a Petro-Canada service station. The two adjacent images are from historical paintings of Thanksgiving motifs. The two outside photographic murals are an enlarged detail from the left-hand corner of the painting 'The Death of Wolfe' (1771) by Benjamin West. The detail on the right has been reversed. The Mohawks did not participate in the Battle of Quebec. (From exhibition catalogue "All That Has Value", McIntosh Gallery et al, 1995/96.)

The large photographic mural of a Sonoran Pinacate shell trail was taken by Julian D. Hayden of Tucson, Arizona. Hayden has studied the trails leading from mexico to the southwestern United States for decades. He estimates this trail to be 70,000 to 120,000 years old.

Work ID: 1958
Description: The colours indigo and cochineal are both native to the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Previous to the invention of synthetic dyes they were major trade items, the red coats of the British military and the red robes of Cardinal Richelieu being two well-known historical examples. Cochineal has once more regained its value as a non-carcinogenic red for simulated crab and lobster meat. During the 18th and 19th centuries, indigo was one of the main exports if the Carolinas and is now regaining its former title as the king of the dyes.
