[BCMA] Press Release PRINCIPLES of ENCLOSURE

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*Principles of Enclosure*

*Gambletron  Johnny Forever Nawracaj  zev tiefenbach*

July 24th to September 3rd


at the Lake Country Art Gallery


*Principles of Enclosure *is an exhibition that brings together three
artists whose works converge around the precarity of the contemporary built
environment. Functional obsolescence increasingly defines much of the
current architectural landscape in so-called Canada, with new builds
arising at mushrooming speeds and lightweight materials enabling easy
teardown. The real estate boom has seen whole hillsides spring suburban
developments while postwar stone bungalows in denser urban areas are torn
down and replaced with large, boxy drywall structures decoratively clad in
stone facing barely belying the newbuild's susceptibility to fast decay.

Each artist's work invites audiences to consider the social and
environmental implications of constructed space. With the current massive
inflation of the housing market and the rash of new developments springing
up throughout the Okanagan valley, this collaborative exhibition is
pertinent to the local social context.

Johnny Forever Nawracaj is a nonbinary Polish-born artist exploring themes
of loss, labour, and identity through video, performance, installation, and
digital collage.

Gambletron is a nonbinary sound artist and performer who has been working
with radio for the past decade.

zev tiefenbach is a social realist photographer whose practice explores the
relationship between the physicality of place and the narratives that
construct and are formed by the spaces we inhabit.


Principles of Enclosure is up now at the Lake Country Art Gallery until
September 3rd.
