March 29th - May 4th, 2024

NoteWe regret the college is closed from Friday, March 30 to Monday, April 1, inclusively.

Pedestrian Values reflects on economic shifts, labour patterns and development in post-industrial urban cities. Using metal fabrication, casting, and interventionist tactics to alter coded materials and infrastructure found in public space, the installations reveal underlying power structures in urban environments, critiquing capitalist value systems focused on profit and development, exposing how these ideals are built into our everyday environment.

The recurring banknote pattern from the board game, Monopoly, serves as an explicit critique of capital’s control over spatial relations that carries through the exhibition, adorning a traffic barrel, cast coins scattered across the floor of the gallery, and a construction privacy mesh.


Vernissage: Thursday, March 28th, 2024 at 5:00pm
Artist Talk: In gallery, Thursday, May 2, 12:15 pm.
