The exhibition Peter von Tiesenhausen: Songs for Pythagoras closes today at your AGA.

For Peter von Tiesenhausen, the landscape of Alberta has been a primary source of inspiration, with sustainability being a constant thread that has woven its way through his work over the course of his long career.

Addressing ideas of time, life, nature and re-generation, this exhibition engages audiences with important issues related to extraction, production and our impact on the environment.
