Art Gallery Opening Reception: Glenn Gear
Date: Jul 19
7:00 pm
- 9:00 pm
Where: Level 3 Atrium
You are invited to join us for a free public art gallery opening reception!
Glenn Gear's immersive installation explores the connection and displacement of the caribou's path across the landscape of Labrador. Inspired by traditional string games, sinew becomes a metaphor for the ties between land, animals and stories in Inuit culture. Invoking a sense of awe, the space describes enigmatic connections to land and histories—experiences that are felt rather than explained with words.
Kilautiup Songuning–“Strength of the Drum” will be performing from 7:30-8:00. There will be refreshments and a cash bar 19+.
Admission to the Art Gallery exhibitions will be free during the event.
