Traces: Earth’s Memories, a photography exhibit by Linda Rutenberg – through January 12, 2025 LiveEvents December 14, 2024 239 Traces: Earth’s Memories The Maison de la Culture NDG is pleased to announce the exhibition Traces: Earth’s Memories by renowned fine art photographer Linda Rutenberg. This exhibition is comprised of three segments, each a body of work unto its own, but connected to the central theme. The first segment, If Walls Could Speak, depicts the walls of urban streets, where remnants of messages that have been posted, as a testament to our attempts to communicate. The middle segment, Echoes of the Forest, documents the disappearing of trees and forests as human activity encroaches on the land. The fishing huts of the Gaspé Peninsula in the final segment, On Thin Ice, are references to a way of life doomed by the warming of the planet and the melting of ice. Linda Rutenberg As a photographer for over thirty years, Linda has served as witness and interpreter of what we leave behind. In response, she has raised her subjects from anonymity into art that can be appreciated and contemplated by a larger audience. She has a BFA in film and music and an MFA in Photography from Concordia University. Linda has taught photography and worked on projects which have resulted in fifteen publications and numerous exhibitions. Her fine artwork has been exhibited internationally and most recently in Canada, the US and England. Her series Urban Visions, One Island – Many Cities, Mont Royal, The Spiritual Landscape and The Garden at Night and her latest work The Gaspé Peninsula are all explorations of the relationship between the environment and its people.
