Due to the resurgence of active COVID-19 cases in Alberta, we have made the difficult decision to close our current exhibitions on Saturday 5 December.
Until then, you may visit the gallery by pre-booking a timed entry visit for up to six people within your household.
All online programs will continue as planned.
Samuel Roy-Bois: Presences
In Presences Samuel Roy-Bois has created an ensemble of constructed and found objects that consider our contemporary material knowledge. These architectural structures seem to act as vessels for everyday objects, pointing to ways in which human experience is inextricably linked to manufactured things and spaces, and how the greater meaning of our existence is mediated through things.
Samuel Roy-Bois: Presences is organized and circulated by the Kamloops Art Gallery. The exhibition is curated by Charo Neville, Curator, Kamloops Art Gallery. Support for the development and production of new works provided by Esker Foundation.
Samuel Roy-Bois in conversation with Charo Neville
Thursday 19 November, 6-7pm, free
Time zone: Mountain Standard Time
In conversation with Kamloops Art Gallery curator Charo Neville, Samuel Roy-Bois will talk about Presences and the ongoing preoccupations in his work.
Samuel Roy-Bois’ practice is concerned with the conceptual and material definition of space and the ways the built environment and manufactured things contribute to our understanding of the world. Through sculpture, site-specific installation, and photography, Roy-Bois examines relational networks of objects and their complex philosophical considerations. For this new body of work, Presences, Roy-Bois has created an ensemble of constructed and found objects that consider our contemporary material knowledge and a series of photographs of momentary, precariously composed sculptures that exist only long enough to document. The relationship between sculpture and photography is at the core of Roy-Bois’ inquiry.
