Adad Hannah’s carefully staged video tableaux of pre-existing images have become hallmarks of the Montreal-based artist’s practice over the past few years. In the fall 2009 issue of Canadian Art, writer Mark Clintberg explores Hannah’s compelling historical interventions in “Masterpiece Theatre.” This special online supplement surveys Hannah’s recent work and provides an early glimpse of his latest project, The Raft of the Medusa (100 Mile House).
