Sarah Anne Johnson's latest exhibition is a continuation of themes she explored in House on Fire (2009) and Dancing With The Doctor (2010).  These works reflect on trauma sustained as a result of CIA experiments on mind control undertaken from 1950 to 1973.  Under the banner of MKUltra, US and Canadian citizens were administered paralytic and psychedelic drugs, subjected to electroconvulsive therapy, isolation, sensory deprivation, drug-induced coma, and verbal and sexual abuse by researchers and psychologists studying the alteration of mental states and brain function.

Suzy Lake was born in Detroit and immigrated to Canada in 1968, following the 1967 Detroit riots, settling in Montreal.

Lake was one of a pioneering group of artists in the early ‘70s who adopted performance, video and photography in order to explore the politics of gender, the body and identity.
