Visit the Simon Fraser University Gallery until February 21st to experience a new exhibit by Vancouver-based artist Liz Magor, titled “The Mouth and other storage facilities.”
This thought-provoking series includes Magor’s work from the past three years, and continues the artist’s decades-long interest in exploiting the consequences of reproduction and repetition in the material world.
This current show combines her exhibit from the Equinox Gallery last spring with work that has never been shown in Vancouver.
Magor’s detailed sculptures offer images of domestic debris – suggesting a confusion of values as the acts of acquiring and discarding become inextricably linked. Cigarettes, ashtrays, candy and small mammals are arranged and cast as one object, seamlessly merging the endurance of the discarded with the allure of the new.
This exhibition & catalogue are a co-production with the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, and includes loans from several private collections and is supported, in part, by the Equinox Gallery in Vancouver and the Susan Hobbs Gallery in Toronto.
Liz Magor’s work is included in many public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
For more information on the gallery’s events, exhibits, discussions and programs, call 778-782-4266, email gallery@sfu.ca or visit the SFU Gallery Website.
