OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, MAY 16 AT 6:30PM - 9:00PM

Artist Anne Low will start the evening with a guided tour of the exhibition in the Kenderdine Art Gallery at 6:30pm, followed by the reception. 

Anne Low creates sculptural forms, often using techniques and methodologies associated with histories of decorative arts and domestic interiors. Her practice includes sculpture, installation, textiles and printmaking to investigate how particular expressive forms are able to unhinge themselves from historical contingency and speak to contemporary contexts. 

Enfilade is an architectural term for rooms leading to rooms, connected with doors that unfold unto the next room and next room and on and on, etc. Low will respond to the architectural character of the Kenderdine Art Gallery as an object in and of itself. Utilizing a series of components, each work acts a sort of architectural fragment: a lintel, a door, a door frame, a canopy, and a sculpture called Weaver's tombstone. Having trained as a hand weaver over the last decade, hand woven textile history informs much of her work, alongside other arcane material histories, from those of utilitarian objects to furniture making. Low (b. 1981 Stratford, Canada), lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.
