A new art exhibition will open at Sheridan College next week. Chad Erpelding’s installation of, “ACorporation Inc.” will open Thursday, September 15 and will be showcased at the Edward A. Whitney Gallery located inside the Whitney Center for the Arts. Erpelding will provide a talk about his creative process at 4 pm Thursday, September 15, followed by a reception at 5 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
According to Erpelding’s website, he utilizes data visualization and systems-based strategies to investigate global institutions. Through extensive research of corporations, political systems, governmental organizations, and stock markets, Erpelding has discovered various representations of global networks and activities. The artist has transformed this data into a visually complex piece with conceptually disorienting elements, both revealing and concealing information. Erpelding said that he hopes his work challenges viewers to consider their relationships with these institutions while reevaluating their understanding of place in a global community.
