Exhibition Opening Reception: June 20, 7–9 PM

Chambers’ Ring explores the history, spectacle, and materiality of boxing. Through the lens of media archaeology and process art, the work analyzes the rhythmic active body, how its perception is influenced via the mediation of technology, as well as the rules and formalized structures of game.

This exhibition has been supported by: Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Calgary Arts Development, The City of Calgary, EMMEDIA, TRUCK Contemporary Art, Calgary Boxing Club, Rogelio Boxing, Carvel Creative
