West Vancouver Museum
September 14 to November 5, 2011
 Longing is an installation of innovative, new work by Vancouver-based artist Sonny Assu composed of sculptures and photographs.
The sculptures are found objects now displayed conceptually as "masks." As found objects they provide the core focus of the investigation undertaken by the artist. Within this context, found is juxtaposed to lost, or an art and culture altered or displaced by conditions of colonialism and European settlement.
The artist uses longing to suggest a history reexamined and reclaimed. Visit our website for more details. To read more about this exhibition, please visit the Museum website.
Opening Reception will take place Tuesday, September 13 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Artist Talk will take place Wednesday, October 19 at 7 p.m.
