Opening on June 24, 2017, the Vancouver Art Gallery will feature Persistence, on view until October 1, 2017. Persistence draws together three recent contemporary installations to explore the surprising and creative ways that technologies, physical objects and natural processes endure and transform. “We are extremely proud to showcase three major installations by Julia Feyrer, Tamara Henderson, Shelagh Keeley and Germaine Koh from the Gallery’s collection,” says Kathleen S. Bartels, Director of the Vancouver Art Gallery. “Looking at natural systems, cycles of economic forces, and the symbolic significance of everyday objects that surround us, these works have viewers directly contemplate the very rhythms of modern life.” The exhibition’s premise is inspired by Canadian media critic Marshall McLuhan and his ideas concerning obsolescence
