Regeneration
October 25, 2015
 
About the exhibition:
In 1942, the builders of Brushwood (today's Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods) constructed the Ryerson Family's summer home using materials salvaged from demolished buildings. Through this purposeful act of reuse, the builders transformed discarded materials - bricks, floorboards, windows, mantels, and stoves - into something new, a process that reflects reclamation and renewal in nature. This exhibition brings together 13 artists and designers who explore the concept of regeneration in their work. See how their individual acts of transformation connect artwork and designed objects with Brushwood's architecture, grounds, and natural surroundings.

Free.  No registration required. Exhibition runs through November 1st.
