THE DISPLAY

Soft and Precious by Alvin Luong at Platform Gallery

On now until July 8, this featured exhibit from Toronto’s Alvin Luong asks the questions, “How soft does a metal have to be in order to be used to create a precious sculpture? Is the sculpture materially precious as an economic asset or culturally precious as a social asset?” Exploring the concept of why documentations and instructions are created and how they can be interpreted, this is an engaging and immersive exhibit not to be missed.
