International art stars Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have launched an exhibition venue in a former furniture store in Enderby, a small community in the B.C. Interior. The artists, who live in the area, are presenting a rotating selection of their immersive large-scale installations, some of which have never shown in Canada. The Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, Germany has described their works as:
“Their works are borne by the power and magic of the voices, the music, and the noises that transport us to imaginary worlds in which we have to reassure ourselves of our own perception again and again. All of our senses are challenged, but most of all our hearing. Cardiff and Miller open up new perspectives for the sculpture of the 21st century. The immaterial nature of sound is physically palpable and thus acquires an impressive presence. Sound becomes a plastic material.”
Now open Thurs to Sun 11 am - 5 pm.
