- Abstract
The article discusses the video art of Canadian immigrant or second-generation immigrant artists, including Sylvia Safdie, Marisa Portolese, and Marielle Nitoslawska, in the light of Wassily Kandinsky's book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art." Topics mentioned include how each artist's religious and cultural background is manifested in their art, how an emerging post-secular approach to religion is arising in art, and how Kandinsky's ideas are reflected in each work. The article includes color images of some of the works referenced as well as a bibliography.
