Future Sensitive Solo Exhibition

Future Sensitive Exhibition

Honor Fraser gallery presents Future Sensitive, a solo exhibition of short films, soft sculptures, and kinetic installations.

Future Sensitive spills across the galleries at Honor Fraser with the uncanny patina of a world not quite our own, and yet one hauntingly familiar. For the first time in North America, McRae's films are exhibited within an installation of sculptures, machines, and other speculative designs used during filming and production.

The exhibition marks a significant milestone in the artist's internationally distinguished career, and debuts the world premiere of two short films, Futurekin (2022) and Delicate Spells of Mind (2022).

Visitors to the gallery are invited to explore the installation as protagonists in McRae's future world, using the artworks as scaffolding for their own embodied contemplation. In this post-human landscape, already existing "low-tech" and industrial materials—vacuum cleaners, roller skate wheels, camping equipment, blow-up fans, construction straps, and plastic tarps—are reconfigured into Sci-Fi objects for future survival.
