Opening / Feedback #6: Marshall McLuhan and the arts
It is with great enthusiasm that Fonderie Darling opens this anniversary year with an ambitious program that honours the revolutionary thinking of Canadian theorist Marshall McLuhan. A performance, a guided tour and an Open Studios event with the artists in residence are planned on the evening of the opening.
Fonderie Darling is hosting the international group exhibition Feedback #6: Marshall McLuhan and the Arts until mid-August. The sixth iteration of this recursive exhibition brings together the work of twelve artists and important archival materials in a curatorial approach that speaks to the still-vibrant influence of this iconic thinker on art today.
At the same time, the heritage exhibition Fonderie Darling: 20 Years + 1 Century takes root in the reception area to honor the site's industrial past. Throughout the year, the public will be invited to discover the rich heritage of the Darling brothers' company through this evolving, three-part exhibition.
