British Columbia

Dec. 4 – Jan. 17: See Jenie Gao’s (Studio Residency Grant, 2025) solo exhibition Where Mountain Cats Live at grunt gallery! “Where Mountain Cats Live is a lush invitation for strengthening community bonds, while acknowledging the precarity that we often build our roots upon. Via table-based installation, prints, and accompanying artist’s books, artist Jenie Gao collapses layers of global and local colonization, childhood memories, and familial narratives of home, displacement, and perseverance, embedded in individual objects.”
