Before Demolition, Emily Neufeld

Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art 103-421 Cawston Ave, Rotary Centre for the Arts, Kelowna, British Columbia V1Y 6Z1

Opening Reception: Friday, March 23, 2018, 6-8 P.M

Before Demolition examines the link between a person’s identity and their location. Using homes slated for demolition, Neufeld performs interventions in the space dictated by the physical marks and patterns -- wear patterns in carpet, cut marks on the counter – that residents inadvertently left behind while living there. The resulting large-scale sculptures are documented and the homes surrendered to developers to be demolished, only to be remembered in photographs. The exhibition explores our complex relationship with the built environment, private property and land ownership with particular focus on contemporary issues including the rising cost of accommodation and increased homelessness.

Emily Neufeld received her BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2013, and has exhibited throughout BC and Alberta.
