You are invited! Join the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre on Thursday, November 14 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for an artist talk and the launch of a new exhibit, This is Garbage.

Artist Talk featuring Sandra Van Ruymbeke

Sandra Van Ruymbeke will present a talk on the critical analysis and exploration of garbage. How and why do we perceive and construct discarded material the way we do, and what contribution can one's artistic practice make to challenge cultural perceptions and re-imagine the possibilities and value of garbage.

Exhibit: This is Garbage by Sandra Van Ruymbeke and Constant Van Ruymbeke

Items found along the shoreline of Lake Ontario, have been transformed into things of aesthetic value. Using gold leafing technique garbage becomes invested with curious importance. The artists employ the hyper-visibility of photography to reframe garbage encouraging the viewer to investigate the detailed information. Two contemporary commercial tools, a light box and posters, have been selected to showcase and illuminate, destabilizing culturally constructed notions of waste. The participatory art installation, black and white imprints of garbage piles from a city dump, encourages the viewers to connect with this discarded material by colouring between lines. These artworks raise the question--Is this garbage or something else? By using painterly lines and aesthetics, the artists aim to create a new space to consider and relate to garbage.
