Documentation by Philip Leonard Ocampo



Layers of drawing, photographs, and resin fuse source material with extrapolated vision, coalescing in new forms. Inspired in part by multiple site visits exploring the Dundas Museum’s collection and architecture, these works reconfigure and reimagine its contents in a sensorial reflection of accumulation.

Through the process of collage, both artists point their interest towards ideas of value, preservation, and questions of description as they relate to objecthood and material histories. Using compositional structures and devices intrinsic to museum displays, the artists re-articulate frames, tabletops, and glass cases as a shared visual language. 29 Games for Parties offers a recasting of the archive as a subjective, and sensory endeavour.
