On Quitting and Comebacks

Free admission, everyone welcome!
David Hoffos received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Lethbridge in 1994. Since 1992 Hoffos has maintained a full-time practice – with over 50 group shows, dozens of school and community collaborations, a few works for the stage and over 40 solo exhibitions, including a recent survey at the National Gallery of Canada. After launching at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in 2008, in 2010 his touring 6-year installation series, Scenes from the House Dream, was showcased at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto. In 2014 Hoffos completed permanent public sculpture projects in Grande Prairie and Lethbridge. He has received awards including the Images Grand Prize, 2007, and a Sobey Art Award (2nd prize), 2002.
His exhibition, Anamorphic Arrays and Other Variations, is on view in the main gallery at Casa until February 16, 2019.
