Join us for the book launch of Planetary Fluke Isolated Paradise. Janet Bellotto takes us on an extraordinary journey to Sable Island, a protected part of Canada’s national park system. Through this photographic research project and narrative, Bellotto captures the unique beauty and wildlife of this isolated Atlantic landscape. The story navigates through the course winds and precarious sand drifts of the sealine—a fragile microcosm of global environmental challenges. Shaped by centuries of shipwrecks and violent storms that continues to shift in the ocean as a vast dune ridge system.

Janet Bellotto is an artist and educator from Toronto, currently working in Dubai. Bellotto’s most recent practice-based research project Future Islands explores narratives, histories, and ecologies of specific islands and archipelagos. Her public sculpture commission at the Bewaerschole, Netherlands, where the water ran, where the wind flows…, was inspired by the wind and tragic flood that hit the region in 1953. Bellotto’s work has been exhibited in a variety of collective, group, and solo exhibitions internationally. Dean of the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises, Zayed University, Bellotto is represented by Zilberman in Istanbul |Berlin| Miami, and Sist Gallery in Venice, Italy.

The launch will begin at 3:30pm with an introduction and book discussion session led by documentary producer, Brahm Rosensweig, followed with an author reading of the new release.

Available for special rate $25 at event. Planetary Fluke will also be available for purchase on impulse-b.com and at Art Metropole.
