John Wood and Paul Harrison

Offsite at Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Fifteen metal rulers align diagonally on a white table in a gallery. Each is bent upwards at a 90 degree angle at different points. In combination, the aligned bent sections create a raised slope.

The Contemporary Art Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in Canada by British duo John Wood and Paul Harrison. Their practice unfolds as a way of observing the human condition, an ongoing investigation into the world that surrounds us, the objects we encounter and use daily, and our fundamental engagement with the physical; universe in all its sometime or seemingly futile existence.

This talk is hosted by Emily Carr’s Visual Art Forums.
