Representatives of the West Vancouver Museum held an opening reception for their newest exhibition, Dialectic of Failure - New Work by Babak Golkar, Oct. 10. The exhibition is presented in three pieces with each incorporating clay, which, according to the museum, speaks to the "painstaking and delicate nature of compromise and negotiation between dichotomies: historicism and modernity, art and craft, modern reasoning and traditional mysticism." One features 30 terracotta "scream pots" that visitors can interact with, another is a digital projection of clay being thrown against a sheet of drywall and the third work is the actual sheet of drywall, showing the marks and stains. An artist talk will be presented tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. The show continues until Dec. 7. westvancouvermuseum.ca
