Opening Reception: 'Opera Obscura' and 'Your Absence is Mineral'

The Opera Obscura and Your Absence is Mineral Opening Reception offers a first look at a collection of artworks featuring works by Mary Kavanagh and Sarah Steeves. Opera Obscura is a large-scale installation by Canadian artist Mary Kavanagh. For three decades, Kavanagh has investigated sites shaped by nuclear colonialism, militarization, and industrial extraction, tracing how histories are materially inscribed in land, atmosphere, and built environments. In this new work, she turns her attention to one of the defining institutions of civic life: the library. Your Absence Is Mineral is a solo exhibition by Canadian artist Sarah Steeves, marking the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition. The exhibition includes ten sculptures, a video work, and a durational installation. Don’t miss this chance to discover new artists and connect with the gallery! Guests are warmly welcomed to connect with fellow community members, enjoy light refreshments and beverages, and celebrate the launch of these wonderful exhibitions together. Admission is free.
