Examining recent revelations concerning the widespread tax avoidance of Canadian corporations, the National Gall<\/em> exhibition poses the question: what lies hidden behind corporate \u201cgifts\u201d to major museums and cultural institutions?<\/p>\n

The exhibition specifically addresses financial networks of some of the largest corporations in the extractive sector headquartered in Canada, including Barrick Gold (Toronto); Husky Energy (Calgary); Imperial Oil (Calgary), and Enbridge (Calgary). While these corporations are notorious for many things, less well known are the shell companies \u2014companies or corporations existing solely on paper\u2014 that connect Canadian headquarters to offshore jurisdictions. In French, a shell company is called \u201csoci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9cran,\u201d literally: a screen company. What are the forms of transparency and opacity, the visible donations and the hidden transactions, that characterize corporate influence from extractive industries today?<\/p>\n
