How does architecture shape our physical and social interactions?
That question is being explored in a new exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery.
Renée Van Halm: Cross Cutting/Inside Out opens Thursday, Feb. 9 and continues at the gallery until April 8. It's the first survey exhibition of the work of the B.C. artist, and it spans more than 30 years of work dating from 1979 to the present.
Van Halm's diverse work includes collage, installation, printmaking, gouache, oil and acrylic paints.
The works selected for the exhibition, by guest curator Sophie Brodovitch, focus primarily on Van Halm's interest in the social role of architecture.
An opening reception for the exhibition is set for Thursday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m.
Burnaby Art Gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. It's open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4: 30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, see www.burnabyartgallery. ca.
