The Burnaby Art Gallery and the Art Gallery at Evergreen in Coquitlam co-present the exhibition Ruth Beer: Seep | Swell from November 30 to February 9, 2025.
Taking place across the two galleries concurrently, this exhibition curated by Katherine Dennis and Jennifer Cane contemplates Vancouver-based interdisciplinary artist Ruth Beer’s research on the entwined relationships between humankind and its industries.
For decades, Beer has used sculpture to explore the depictions, constructs, and myths of landscape. Her dynamic practice revolves around an ecological examination of the rapidly transforming Pacific Northwest region. Through an array of materially seductive artworks—glistening copper weavings, tapestries, bronze and ceramic stones, woven photographs, and prints on paper—Beer offers timely reflections on belonging and the climate crisis.
An opening reception and artist-led tour takes place on November 30 from 2 pm to 5 pm, with a complimentary shuttle service between both galleries and light refreshments included.
