Typically taking months to render, Richardson's images seamlessly integrate computer-generated imagery with footage shot in the natural wilderness to create haunting immersive landscapes. <em>This Island Earth</em> contrasts the high-definition video installations <em>Orion Tide</em> and <em>The Last Frontier</em> with a C-print of her landmark panorama<em> Mariner 9</em>. Each futuristic environment suggests the fallout from some undefined man-made or ecological catastrophe. Combining aspects of the Romantic sublime with tropes of extinction more common to video games and contemporary cinema, her landscapes share a 'calculated ambiguity' that makes them at once arresting and unsettling. This body of work illuminates our planets pending environmental crisis while inviting us to ponder possible futures. Kelly Richardson is represented by Birch Contemporary, Toronto.</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><a href="http://www.kellyrichardson.net/" target="_blank">www.kellyrichardson.net</a><br><br><strong><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ff1e16">Artist Talk:</font></strong> Friday, November 8 at 11:00 am in ECH 1219<br><br>Please join us for this visually arresting exhibition.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>ADMIT EVERYONE</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Exhibitions are free and open to the public.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>UWAG</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">University of Waterloo Art Gallery</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">East Campus Hall | ECH 1239</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">519.888.4567 ext. 33575</span><br><a href="http://www.uwag.uwaterloo.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">uwag.uwaterloo.ca</span></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/uwag.waterloo" target="_blank"><br></a><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><a href="http://www.facebook.com/uwag.waterloo" target="_blank">facebook.com/uwag.waterloo</a><br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Hours</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Tuesday to Saturday</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">12:00-5:00 pm</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Or by appointment<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Contact</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Ivan Jurakic, Director / Curator</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">519.888.4567 ext. 36741</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><a href="mailto:ijurakic@uwaterloo.ca" target="_blank">ijurakic@uwaterloo.ca</a><br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Driving</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">263 Phillip Street, Waterloo, ON</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Located in East Campus Hall on Phillip Street off University Avenue West, behind University Plaza</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Use South entrance to ECH across from Engineering 6<br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Parking</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Limited meter parking is available behind ECH</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Visitor Parking is available in Lot E6, E5 or Lot B after 3:45 pm for a flat rate of $5.00</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><a href="http://www.uwaterloo.ca/map/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.uwaterloo.ca/map/index.php</a><br><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); "><strong>Mailing</strong></span></span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">University of Waterloo Art Gallery</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">200 University Avenue West</span><br><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">Waterloo, ON, Canada N2L 3G1<br><br><span style="font-size: 8pt; ">Image: Kelly Richardson, <em>Orion Tide</em>, 2013.
