WEEKEND ITINERARY in CHATHAM, ONTARIO!
Plan the ultimate weekend getaway to Chatham, Ontario with this 2-day itinerary! Located about halfway between Windsor and London, Ontario, Chatham is a riverfront community in the Chatham-Kent region. Known for its rich history, classic cars and fertile land, the region was also an important destination point along the underground railroad.
Today, Chatham has become a cultural hub of arts and entertainment and is experiencing a renaissance thanks in part to unique and trendy businesses opening across town.
In partnership with Ontario's Southwest and Visit Chatham-Kent

Lenka Novakova
Have I been here before?
January 25 - March 10, 2013
artist reception: Saturday, January 26 at 8pm
Lenka Novakova creates interactive video installations that use the play of shadows and light, the reflection and refraction of images, and the repetition of infinites to lead the visitor into a contemplative state of time and space. She says about her practice [I am] concerned with an ephemeral poetic quality - a moment of recreation and reflective thought through constructed environments, simple technologies and moving light, and with crossover in cinema and theatre technologies.
Lenka was born in the Czech Republic and currently lives in Montreal, Quebec. Her travel experiences have heightened her awareness of the complex notion of home. Have I been here before? builds on her insights during a trip to Europe. The temporary return to her native Czech Republic was an opportunity for the artist to consider her own migratory reality, linked to life and work in different cultural contexts.
The artist reception will take place January 26 @ 8pm with a live performance by choreographer Katia-Marie Germain (Montreal, Quebec).
