Presented in conjunction with Mowry Baden, contemporary works from the Vancouver Art Gallery Collection that use “displacement” as a tool to elicit viewer reactions ranging from empathy and understanding, to the unexpected and disruptive.
Featured artists include Sonny Assu, Aganetha Dyck, Teresa Marshall, Ken Lum, Robert Therrien, Luanne Martineau, Patrick Traer, Renee van Halm, Holly Ward, Tim Paul, Myfanwy MacLeod, and others who have employed diverse strategies in their sculptural forms to incite effects of all kinds.
