“Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins: Three Dimensions” opens July 27th at the McIntosh Gallery, Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The exhibition showcases the artists’ multidisciplinary art practice, with this iteration of the show featuring two installations: “Balancing Act and “THX2020,” combining painting, sculpture, kinetics, and interactivity.
“Balancing Act” consists of a user-controlled large-scale claw crane game where participants can stack sculptural components and create ad-hoc compositions. Accompanying the installation are paintings depicting various combinations of the sculptures. “THX2020” is an interconnected installation that combines paintings, narrative video, and an interactive headset that responds to bio-feedback by moving shapes on video screens.
Taken together, “Three Dimensions” emphasizes viewer participation and explores themes of authenticity, agency, and the digital age through performativity and interactivity. Like many of their previous works, the installation references high and popular culture, combining science fiction, politics, and current events in a pop-minimalist setting where symbols are equalized in hierarchy. For Marman and Borins, the exhibition aims to disrupt traditional notions of reality—whether authentic or synthetic—and present dimensions that challenge the viewer’s perception. With an emphasis on engagement, the artists prompt contemplation around visual language, mass media, consumerism, and the ways in which images circulate in the information age.
This exhibition will be on view through December 5th, 2026.
