Canadian Art has published an article on "We, Ourselves and Us," a symposium that took place at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery on January 23-24, 2009.

With Barack Obama in the White House, and confidence holding in the Canadian parliament, it’s timely to discuss the intersecting possibilities of community and history. So it was at "We, Ourselves and Us," a symposium on themes of community featuring Ian Balfour, Carlos Basualdo, Luis Jacob, Saara Liinamaa, Maria Lind, Nina Möntmann, and Emily Roysdon, with a keynote lecture by Simon Critchley.

The symposium was organized by The Power Plant in association with the journal Public and with the collaboration of the Goethe-Institut, Toronto. A special issue of Public arising from the exhibition and symposium and edited by Nina Möntmann will be published in 2009.
