SUMMARY:Soft Architectures
DESCRIPTION:Sylvan Hamburger\n\n\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith GalleryJuly 25 – October 8\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 24\, from 6–8 PM \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Exhibition Publication    \n\n\n\nIn Soft Architectures\, Vancouver-based artist Sylvan Hamburger transforms everyday materials—bedsheets\, plywood\, floral fabrics—into large-scale installations that reflect on the changing face of our cities. Using printmaking\, sculpture\, and found objects\, Hamburger captures the textures of demolished homes and disappearing buildings\, turning them into poetic imprints of memory\, loss\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nHis prints don’t just depict buildings—they are made from them. By pressing fabrics against salvaged wood and walls\, Hamburger gathers physical traces of the spaces we live in\, and the ones we’ve lost. These haunting\, delicate works explore how the surfaces around us—like the grain of old floorboards or the floral pattern of a bedsheet—can hold personal and collective histories. \n\n\n\nSoft Architectures brings together work from the past five years\, documenting not only physical spaces\, but the emotional and cultural imprints they leave behind. At a time of intense change in our communities\, Hamburger’s work offers a thoughtful reminder to look closely at the surfaces around us\, noticing the textures and traces that are often erased in the rush of redevelopment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Description: Sylvan Hamburger\, Open House Press (detail)\, 2020\, relief print on bedsheet\, wooden dowels\, shiplap boards.
