Xchanges is excited to presentLegroom for Daydreamingby artist Levi Glass. The show opens on Friday, February 19th at 7pm (non social) and on weekends until March 7th from 11am-4pm. This solo-exhibition of sculptural work and photo documentation explores the alternative form and function of common objects as pseudo-technological devices. Inspired by the blurring of cultural boundaries evident in Métis architecture and the integration of research, play, and domestic design w...ithin European Court Salon inventions, these works explore an intersection of culture and discovery within the domestic device. Familiar yet strange, the works appropriate consumer designs into failed-luxury objects that exhibit visual phenomenon and blur the line between image and object. https://xchangesgallery.org//levi-glass-legroom-for-dayd/ #leviglass #contemporary sculpture #xchangesnews #yyj #xchangesartist #instagramtoday #canadianartists #contemporaryartists #artistruncentre #gallery #exhibitions #victoriabc #crdartsdev #canadacouncil #ipreview via @preview.app
