Among Others
Exhibition explores art as human connection
Currently on display at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Among Others is one of the gallery’s summer exhibitions.
Curated by Pan Wendt, Among Others takes as its starting point the idea that artworks can help us make connections across perceived boundaries, perhaps because we experience art in the artificial space of an exhibition as somehow other to this world. Artworks can feel like messages from elsewhere—or alien beings, slightly distant even when directly in front of us. This disorientation might relax our defences, opening us to receive (often implicit) messages or meanings.
The exhibition features works from the Confederation Centre Art Gallery’s collection that are preoccupied with the fact that we are all products of relationships, defined by the possibilities and limitations of human connection.
The exhibition features works by approximately 30 artists, including Brian Burke (PE), Surabhi Ghosh (QC), Molly Lamb Bobak (NB), Diane Borsato (ON), Hannah Claus (QC), and Stanley Fevrier (QC), among others.
The exhibition remains on view until September 20.
