Opens a conversation between the work of Canadian and American artists who added to the development of abstract painting history. The exhibition examines the transformation of a movement that absorbed colour, feelings, and forms as the core elements to revolutionize the North American art scene from the mid-20th century onwards.

Delves into the intricate connections between human longing, built environments, and the pursuit of idealized societies. From sculptural expressions of yearning to photographic interpretations of erotism, the exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which desire is channeled through architectural forms and the utopian imagination.
