This is a comprehensive account of the 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art. The 2013 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art represents the diversity of Alberta's contemporary art practices and investigations, and provides a framework through which we can see how contemporary art is shaped by and shapes different perceptions of time and place. Created in 1996 to showcase the work of current Alberta artists, the theme of the 2013 Biennial is post-regionalism. Tousley's curatorial premise looks at how artists today are grounded in the place that they live and work, while recognizing that they live and work globally and are connected to an art world that is international in its scope.
