Three Dimensions is an interactive installation that offers a fascinating exploration of culture, reality, technology and the digital age.

 

It’s not very often that art gallery attendees get to be part of the art they’re witnessing, but that’s certainly the case at Three Dimensions, a multidisciplinary exhibition by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins. See it at Contemporary Calgary from October 19, 2023 to March 17, 2024.

 

The exhibition features three installations that encourage viewer participation. In the Balancing Act, guests create sculptures using a large-scale claw crane game that stacks and moves blocks wrapped in wool felt. Those who need inspiration can simply turn to the paintings of different block sculptures around them.
