Vessna Perunovich: Shifting Shelter

Illingworth Kerr Gallery, Calgary, AB - Sep 12 – Nov 2

by Robin Laurence

Toronto artist Vessna Perunovich, who was born in the former Yugoslavia, brings personal experience to her examination of universal themes of displacement and transcultural migration. Through video and a mixed-media installation that includes altered found objects, furniture, mirrors, paint, and lines drawn with elastic ribbon and demarcation tape, she asks us to consider the social, cultural and geopolitical conditions that cause individuals and groups to fl ee their homes and homelands.
