“I'm Afraid to Ask” 
When Objects Have Agency
 
Catherine Richards

Exhibition opening reception 
Fri Oct 24  6:00 - 8:00 PM 
Open Gallery, 49 McCaul Street  

Human hearts are a living object ‘ gift of life’ and a technological one. Successful transplanted patients give ‘token objects’ to the cardiologist who cannot part with them. Here, the role of objects is dramatically manifested as they intervene in life processes, inter-relations and the limits of being human.
