Runs Until October 27th, 2013

           The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 Presents:

                            Migrating Landscapes

   Come explore Migrating Landscapes, May 28 to October 27, 2013, at the
Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, 1055 Marginal Road, Halifax, NS.  

    The exhibition features an impressive abstract wooden landscape made
of 28,680 feet of lumber and a series of model 'dwellings' - from mini cabins
to skyscrapers - by young architects and designers, all inspired by personal
experiences of immigration and migration.  The architectural models are
brought to life by accompanying videos that draw on the artists' cultural
memories.

  Experience how migrations, and the resulting process of settling and
unsettling, are expressed through the built environment that surrounds us.
Channel your inner architect by trying out our 'Boxopolis,' 'Napkin Sketch'
and 'Makeup of a Model' activities for all ages.  The exhibition is curated
by Winnipeg-based 5468796 Architecture and Jae-Sung Chon.  Migrating
Landscapes was Canada's 2012 entry to the prestigious 13th International
Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia in Venice, Italy.

  Don't miss the Opening Reception on Thursday, May 30th at 5:30 p.m.  All
are welcome.  Please RSVP your attendance by May 24 with Jennifer Chisholm
at: jchisholm@pier21.ca or at (902) 420-6649.
