THE METAMORPHOSIS
VANCOUVER ART GALLERY
“ The Metamorphosis brings together contemporary art from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s permanent collection that addresses the notion of transformation—whether physical, spiritual or cultural. Some artists featured physically alter the appearance of their materials, while others repurpose everyday objects in evocative ways. Some suggest a movement between different realms or states, others engage the issue of cultural hybridity as a result of shifts between one milieu and another.. “ -Bruce Grenville, Tarah Hogue, Emmy Lee Wall, VAG exhibition Curators
