ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The Art Gallery at Evergreen in Coquitlam and the Burnaby Art Gallery co-present the exhibition Ruth Beer: Seep | Swell, an exhibition in two parts. Taking place across the two galleries concurrently, this exhibition contemplates Beer’s artistic research on the entwined relationships between humankind and our 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 our rapidly transforming Pacific Northwest region. Beer’s early explorations of minimalist abstract and elemental forms have evolved into an interest in materials and their relationship to culture and society. In the artist’s hands, raw natural materials are shaped through the cultural and sociopolitical forces that harvest them. 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 themes related to belonging, human-land relationships and the pressing climate crisis. 
 
Ruth Beer: Seep | Swell  is co-produced between the Art Gallery at Evergreen and the Burnaby Art Gallery, curated by Katherine Dennis and Jennifer Cane.
