Structural Integrity
Caroline Monnet, Christine Howard Sandoval and Erdem Taşdelen
Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge
January 18 – March 30, 2024
Structural Integrity gathers together artworks that contextualize the built form through its social textures. Assemblages by Christine Howard Sandoval, Erdem Taşdelen and Caroline Monnet encourage multiple inquiries and call into question the dominant value proposition assigned to specific private and public spaces, while resisting or referencing architecture’s slippage into colonial logics and pursuits. Shared between these layered and complex works is an architecture that moves beyond spatial reasoning towards deeper considerations for the narratives that support multi-vocal understandings of space and place.
