Explore ROYGBIV exhibit at Art Gallery of Alberta (it’s so instagrammable)
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet; this exhibition is a maximalist tribute to colour. The artists featured in ROYGBIVare interested in colour’s ability to alter mood, change behaviour, or simply transform space. Colours can conjure joy and playfulness, they can shape social spaces and can even be employed for social control. The projects in ROYGBIV reveal a relationship between colour, architectural form, the inner and outer spaces they can create and the resulting effects on the human body.
