"Birds have a special flair of migration, spanning the continents, but it is not their sole purview. Humans migrate too - as tourists, as refugees, as immigrants.... Toronto artist Sara Angelucci knows all about this......this theme takes on a new form in her just-opened exhibition at the Art Gallery of York University, an ensemble that includes a flock of feathered bird people... a video projection, a sound installation..."

excerpts from Special to the Globe and Mail by Sarah Milroy, April 12, 2013

Provenance Unknown brings together two new bodies of work by Toronto artist Sara Angelucci, The Anonymous Chorus and Aviary, both inspired by found, anonymous (unattributed) photographic portraits that the artist purchased on eBay. Worth noting is that The Anonymous Chorus incorporates recordings Angelucci captured of the Oakham House Choir in the fall of 2011. Forty+ members of the choir performing for Angelucci in the RCC film studio can be seen in the video installation used for this exhibition.
