Art lovers have a couple of new exhibitions to check out at Burnaby Public Library branches.
The Burnaby Art Gallery is opening two new exhibitions at library branches next week.
Starting Monday, Sept. 18, visitors to the Metrotown library branch (6100 Willingdon Ave.) can check out Alicia Nauta: Two nostalgias face each other like mirrors.
The Toronto-based artist uses her work to explore themes of environmental degradation, the crumbling of civilizations, abstracted and psychedelic reality, domestic space and human belonging. Her work involves collage, screenprinting, installation, wallpaper, books and zines.
The show is underway until Nov. 26.
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 19, visitors to the McGill library branch (4595 Albert St.) can check out Hot Wheels: Depictions of Cars from the Collection.
The exhibition, drawn from the city’s permanent art collection, features a variety of artworks depicting cars in various media. The works include Glen Howarth’s painting Ghost Car, linocut work by Barry Kootchin and prints by Julie McIntyre.
It’s on until Nov. 27.
Check out www.burnabyartgallery.ca for more information, or drop in to the library branches at any time during opening hours.
