Emily Carr graduate, Sonny Assu, has an exhibition coming up at the West Vancouver Museum.
September 13 to November 5
Opening Reception: September 13, 7pm-9pm
Longing is an installation of innovative, new work by Vancouver-based artist Sonny Assu composed of sculptures and photographs. The sculptures are found objects now displayed conceptually as “masks.” As found objects they provide the core focus of the investigation undertaken by the artist. Within this context, found is juxtaposed to lost, or an art and culture altered or displaced by conditions of colonialism and European settlement. The artist uses longing to suggest a history reexamined and reclaimed.
