Rennie Collection is currently showing the first Canadian exhibition by American artist Robert Beck / Robert Buck.

Robert Beck / Robert Buck is an artist working in a variety of mediums (sculpture, drawing, photography and video) with themes varying between identity, family, memory, authorship and loss. His most recent work, also on display at the Rennie Collection, is his transformation from Robert Beck to Robert Buck - titled The Shrine. The name change marks a departure in his artistic practice.

Beck / Buck often uses traumatic experiences from his life in his artwork to transcend them. Yet he does it in such a way that allows the viewer to project their own experiences onto them and therefore inviting dialogue to take place.The exhibition is up until June 8th, you can book your tour of the collection here: http://www.renniecollection.org/contact/index.php
