OPEN CONCEPT

JULY 14 – SEPTEMBER 11, 2016

Mississauga -based emerging artist Olga Klosowski Schellenberg creates spare, enigmatic sculptures using cast-off materials from renovation sites.

In a city that is has experienced and continues to undergo rapid development, demolition and construction have become part of daily life. Objects that were once overlooked as a mere backdrop to the activities of our lives – ceiling tiles, floorboards, bedframes – are now given new signi cance as art objects that serve to memorialize the past as it is embodied in our homes.

The Art Gallery of Mississauga is a guest upon the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. This ancient land is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit and the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, Wendat, and Haudenosaunee nations.
