Toronto - Luminato, Toronto's "festival of arts and creativity," has scored the Canadian premiere of a photographic exhibition by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. The exhibition, called Green Flag Song, has previously been shown in New York and Los Angeles, and is composed of 60 green-tinged triptychs of digitally modified images, printed on canvas, that Mitchell originally photographed in 2006 from a malfunctioning TV set in her Los Angeles home.
At the show's debut, Mitchell described its theme as "being about war, revolution and torture." Included are images of exploding atomic bombs, soldiers, U.S. President George W. Bush and Jesus. Produced in association with the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Mitchells will be exhibited June 6-22 at CTV Queen Street, former home of CITY-TV. Luminato is also presenting Mitchell's ballet The Fiddle and the Drum June 13-14 at the Four Seasons Centre.
