The current exhibition at the Canadian Sculpture Centre is the 19th Annual Juried Graduating Sculpture Student Exhibition. Students from schools across Ontario entered their artwork to be chosen for this exhibition with the prospective of winning one of three awards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The jurors (from left to right):\u00a0 Elaine Whittaker, Flavio Belli and\u00a0\u00a0Edward Falkenberg.<\/p>\n

The jurors were Flavio Belli, Elaine Whittaker, and Edward Falkenberg. Jonathan Simpson received the Malka Green Sculpture Award, Ash Moniz received the Artcast Sculpture award, and the MST Bronze Ltd Sculpture Award was presented to Elissa Gallander. After spending time with each of the sculptures as well as their creators it is clear why these were selected. Each piece is beautiful and interesting and engages the viewer because of the unique ideas each encapsulates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are some interesting stories attached to the art works. Ash Moniz exhibits some\u00a0white plaster that looks like a broken sculpture and white dust. He tells us that in one of\u00a0his travels, before taking up,\u00a0he went to the airport’s washroom and pooled water over that plaster in a plastic bag. Then he put it into his luggage and opened it only when he arrived home, a day or so later. The final product was that dry, half sculpture, half dust that he shows in the exhibition. His other piece, Alchemy of Context, <\/em>is a suitcase\u00a0with\u00a0a sculture of some crumpled clothes inside.<\/p>\n

Matthew Brown’s Gatekeeper<\/em> cathes the eyes right away. The coat, covered with colored wax drops\u00a0opens the doors to narratives. It could be Kaffka’s gatekeeper’s coat with all the fleas hiding in it, with layers of\u00a0memories of long years of waiting for the person to cross. But it is almost too beautiful for that meaning. The drops\u00a0are like pearls with shining colors\u00a0– it easily could be Joseph’s technicolor coat. An interesting\u00a0piece.<\/p>\n

Glenna Rebick’s Kurly Kate is hugging herself into a ball, rounded for comfort, but the material the artist used is all spiky.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the students for their exciting sculptures!<\/p>\n

The Canadian Sculpture Centre organized another enjoyable evening for the exhibition\u2019s opening reception with music and snacks\u00a0and a happy crowd.<\/p>\n
