Cameron Forbes paints as an act of engagement with both space and people. Existing architecture, human delineations of the environment, differential access to space, and our persistent drive for climate control are continuing themes in Forbes’ work. Cameron Forbes: Observation Survey Drawings, expands upon these thematics through an interrogation of the architectural and spatial features of the University of Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Building. During a three-week artist residency with the Kenderdine Art Gallery, Forbes will construct and mobilize a portable studio structure inspired by the building’s pyramid-shaped portico. Moving the studio to a new location each day – inside and outside the building – Forbes will paint from within the portico-inspired structure, activating multiple sites in the creation of new work.
