Lyn Carter: The Pinks

July 11, 2026 – October 4, 2026
Art Gallery of Peterborough 

The Pinks is an immersive animation and sound installation that presents six quirky, relatable and yet non-human creatures. Varying in running time, the animation sequences slowly fall out of sync with each other. This results in changing interactions between the characters as their curious noises rise and fall. The Pinks reflects on human existence as the characters explore their bodies, surroundings and the confining edges of their TV screens with curiosity and caution. 

Lyn Carter works primarily in sculpture as well as drawing, video and animation. She has exhibited across Canada and in China, the U.S.A., Australia, Britain, Spain and Mexico. Her work is represented in a number of permanent collections, among them the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, U.S.A., Cambridge Galleries in Cambridge, Ontario, the AstraZeneca Collection in Mississauga, Ontario, and the Dalhousie Art Gallery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 2008 she was invited to exhibit in the Third Guangzhou Triennial: Farewell to Post-Colonialism, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou, China and in 2016 she was invited to exhibit in the Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art, Zhejiang Art Museum, Hangzhou, China. Her solo exhibition Lyn Carter: 11th Line toured three venues, in Ontario and Québec from 2015 to 2018. Her current sculpture animation project, The Pinks will be touring as of 2026.
