Why So Many Ties?
Ludovic Boney

Exhibition Dates: January 21, 2022 - February 26, 2022

Opening Reception: January 21, 2022 - 6 PM to 9 PM (M:ST)

Presented as a sculptural landscape, this immersive installation invites visitors to embody the concept of passage by walking through and around its formal elements: two thousand metal rods, pine boards, and recycled plastic bags. With an interest in the aesthetics of sensory experience, Boney’s sculpture evokes an experiential field, which offers both ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ vantage points and a multiplicity of spaces from the ecological to the political.

“Why so many ties?” was first presented at OBORO (Montreal) in 2017 and has been adapted to respond to TRUCK’s Main Space.
