Myfanwy MacLeod: Trophies

Trophies draws from the Burnaby Art Gallery's history as a former fraternity house, investigating frat life's hypermasculine, ritualistic and exclusionary behaviours through classical and contemporary portrayals. Examining the connections between ancient Greek rites and sculpture and contemporary fraternity culture's visual and performative codes, Myfanwy MacLeod proposes alternative rites and relations. Leaning into the concept of a "trophy" as a marker of achievement, the exhibition offers a nuanced exploration of success, failure and recognition.
