Warren McLachlan: ojo


23 November 2018 through 22 December 2018
Reception for the artist Friday 23 November 2018, 6-9pm

Curated by Steven Tong

An exercise in excavation and reproducibility takes shape in sculptures and images that originate from glass bottles, soil rich in silt, and animal habitats found in Corbin, a ghost town in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. Culminating in a topographical transformation of CSA Space, the exhibition becomes an environment where endless reproducibility is home to unseen and vacant entities.

Warren McLachlan (born Calgary, 1975)  lives and works in Vancouver, BC.

Warren is a founding member of  Corbin Union, an Alberta / British Columbia collective operating out of Corbin, in the East Kootenays. He also organizes projects at Dynamo Arts Association, an artist-run community in Vancouver. In 2019, Warren will participate in a month-long residency in QuerĂ©taro (Mexico) that will culminate in a solo and group exhibition with Corbin Union at Museo de la Cuidad de QuerĂ©taro in July. Recent exhibitions include; Death Valley Escapes, Field Contemporary, Vancouver; Structure for Observing Atypical Flight, Unit Pitt Facade Project 2017,  Inversus Mundi ( w/ Corbin Union) Unit Pitt  2016, Vancouver, BC;  Sisters ( w/ Jason de Haan), Untitled Art Society, Calgary 2015; Concerning the Bodyguard, The Tetley, Leeds, UK, 2014. He received an MA from Chelsea College of Art and Design, London UK (2007)  and a BFA from the Alberta College of Art and Design (2001).
