Oakville Galleries' Permanet Collection: A Large Slow River – audio walk
Experience one of the most loved pieces in the permanent collection of Oakville Galleries, as you walk along the waterfront and flowers at Gairloch Gardens. A Large Slow River, 2000, is a site-specific audio walk by Canadian artist, Janet Cardiff. In Cardiff's audio walks, visitors follow audio cues while experiencing a physical environment.
Commissioned in 1999 and recorded live on-site in Gairloch Gardens, the work responds to the gallery's surrounding landscape and fuses fictional narrative and sound to question sensory experience.
If you would like to experience the audio walk, please inquire at the front desk. You may borrow a set of headphones from us or use your own, leaving valid identification, such as a health card or driver’s license, at reception.
