Michael Burtch – A Group of Seven Conspectus (The Smart As Trees Podcast)

Michael Burtch is a sculptor, sound artist, writer, set designer and an art historian, with an extensive exhibition history. Michael engaged in a major research project with Gary and Joanie McGuffin on the Group of Seven for a documentary film entitled, Painted Land: In Search Of The Group Of Seven. The project entailed extensive research and field study with the goal of identifying, documenting and interpreting exact sites in Algoma and Superior’s north shore where members of this famous group of artists painted their iconic works.

This extensive research resulted in a documentary film, commissioned by TVO and produced by White Pine Pictures, which was released in October 2015 for broadcast.
