At McClelland Gallery: Another Dimension
Last Weeks

Exhibition Closes Sunday July 15

The exhibition Another Dimension explores the dynamic relationship between form and content in contemporary art, by positioning sculpture as part of a broader two and three-dimensional spatial practice. It represents the fluid relations that now exist between image and object, in contrast to traditional artistic categories where a clearer definition between pictorial and physical space can be found.
