'Passages'

"Passages" exhibition, possibly going to CAFKA 2027

Richard is partnering with artist's group The People's Climate Collective to create a 6000 sq ft immersive exhibition on environmental themes at THEMUSEUM in Kitchener, planned for winter 2025 or 2026. The exhibition will involve approximately 10 discrete installations. Visualizations for the first two ​in-development are shown below.

"Passage", Atrium installation visualization. A pod of aquatic creatures (dolphins, fish, whales) transformed into abstract representations of vessels (canoes, kayaks), which is where these boat forms came from. Insect writing pieces from trees in windows and on forms as stained glass fragments evolved from nature.

"Ghost Forest" visualization, Passages first installation.
A PDF description of Passages as it was originally proposed to THEMUSEUM in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, can be found here. Note that THEMUSEUM curators were the original partners for this exhibit, supporting its development - however funding issues for their institution changed their ability to host a public exhibition of this nature. Hence our team through the People's Climate Collective is continuing to look for viable partners for hosting this unique exhibition.
