The Khyber Centre for the Arts is pleased to present a shared exhibition of current work by artists Sarah Massecar and Heather Passmore.

Passmore’s stretched activist t-shirt ready-mades explore the politics of activist aesthetics while attempting to give a middle ground to the often dichotomous cultural divide of high and low art. Massecar’s push-puppet ready-mades focus on the labour of re/making through he deconstruction and reassembling process, investigating the nature of order and the ways in which order affects our experience to construct meaning. Both of these artists take consumer items through processes that question the nature of production and consumption. This show takes two very different types of found objects outside of their intended purpose and hints for us to examine the meaning of process and representation in a capitalist society.

Heather Passmore is a recent graduate of the MFA program at the University of British Columbia. Her work has been exhibited in Vancouver and nationally, including a solo show at the Odd Gallery, Dawson City, Yukon and at the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery, and she has published essays and articles locally in Vancouver.

Sarah Massecar is a Toronto artist. A recent graduate from the University of Victoria (MFA), her work has been shown across Canada and in the United States at Forest City Gallery, London ON; Western Front, Vancouver; and Soil Art Gallery, Seattle.

The Khyber office and galleries are open Tuesday through Saturday, from noon to 5pm.
