Central Art Garage held their opening for Barry Ace‘s Material Matters on November 19, 2021.

About the exhibition:
For Ace, the focus on materiality can evoke a deeper understanding of the adverse impact of colonization on Anishinaabeg traditional knowledge and the current trend of resurgence and survivance.

In this hyper-digital and cyber-age of existence, we have become increasingly disconnected from our ability to fully experience and comprehend the mnemonic qualities of the hand-made and our ability to decipher the experientiality of its sensory and intellectual engagement.

These works attempt to bridge this precipice between the material and immaterial realms and the historical and contemporary.
The exhibition runs until January 19, 2022.
Check out the gallery.
