Summary

Introduction

The City Hall of St. Catharines accomplishes essential work. The exhibition Soft Walls imagines a restful transitional space in its hallways.

Inspired by decorative art practices, these suggest a meditative and carefree environment and are accompanied by soft-spoken fragments of texts.
