About the Exhibitions

From Warhol to Banksy

From Warhol to Banksy invites visitors to view works of art that highlight the Pop Art Movement and the careers of some of the art world’s most iconic figures. This exhibition features works by artists Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Takashi Murakami, Banksy, and Mr. Brainwash.

Organized and circulated by the Kelowna Art Gallery. Curated by Christine May. Courtesy of the Paul and Tracy Mitchell Collection.

Kenzie Housego: I ❤️ U

Kenzie Housego’s exhibition I❤️U blends embroidery with digital technologies to explore how flirting and courtship have changed over time. I❤️U simultaneously investigates the social meanings of flowers, embroidery patterns and emojis in text and sexts. Some of the work in the exhibition will react when visitors come close to them and others have phone numbers that visitors can text.

Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta, curated by Lindsey Sharman and presented by the RBC New Works Gallery.
