The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art
will be CLOSED Friday April 18 for the statutory holiday.
Please join us on Saturday, April 19, when we reopen!
Alternator exhibition essays respond to the artworks presented through our Main Gallery exhibition series, and add another layer of interpretation to the exhibitions on view. These essays take a variety of forms: formal essays, Q&As with the artist, interpretive responses, and other types of creative writing pieces.
Read the essay supporting our current exhibition below, or review the essay archive going back to 2019.
