Henry Tsang: In Plain Sight
The art of Henry Tsang reveals hidden histories.
Henry Tsang: In Plain Sight is an exhibition catalogue that brings together two of Henry Tsang’s solo exhibitions, Hastings Park (2021) and Tansy Point (2022), both shown at Surrey Art Gallery. Hastings Park consisted of a series of colour photographs depicting the four remaining buildings in Vancouver where over 8000 Japanese Canadians were temporarily located and processed prior to being sent off to labour and internment camps during World War II. Tansy Point was a video installation of a photographic panorama centred on the peninsula of the same name, located near the mouth of the Columbia River. This is where the Anson Dart Treaties were signed in 1851 between the Indigenous Chinook peoples and the US government. The catalogue contains essays by Bryce Kanbara, Tarah Hogue, and Jordan Strom. It is designed by Vancouver-based designer Alex Hass.
Physical copies of the book are available to order from Surrey Art Gallery.
