  • An Evening with Kent Monkman

    Join Kent Monkman (Cree) on a journey into his art and life as an artist. His works are diverse: installations, performance art, large-scale paintings, digital media art, illustration, and short films. Each work is startling in its imagination, seductive in its beauty and powerful with its narrative authority.

    This presentation is part of the SFU Public Square Events and was programmed by award-winning filmmaker and writer Loretta Todd. It is the final public program associated with the exhibition co-curated by Peter Morin and Dr. Martine Reid, Carrying on “Irregardless”: Humour in Contemporary Northwest Coast Art, at the Bill Reid Gallery

  • Ruminations of Order | Alumni Exhibition

    Ruminations of Order is an exhibition of sculpture, drawings, and photographic works by Rosemary Burden ('11), Angela Gooliaff ('06), Judy D. Shane ('12), and Debbie Westergaard Tuepah ('11).

    Sharing an interest in materiality and the process of production, these four emerging artists seemingly borrow from models of code generation, where simple actions are repeated, ultimately leading to fragmentation and the disintegration of one order in favour of a new. Experimenting with diverse materials and working in the gaps between forms and genres, their processes are an unlearning or remapping, a creation of patterns and new ways of considering information.

  • Camrose Ducote | Elissa Cristall Gallery

    Studio Technician Camrose Ducote is exhibiting new work at her first solo exhibition with Elissa Cristall Gallery.

    Ducote grew up in Colorado and the light and space of Colorado continue to influence her work. She works in layers, creating then obscuring, revealing then hiding. Using thin layers of tinted acrylic medium she builds up the surface. "Sanding, squeegeeing, scraping is my idea of drawing. Creating 'gel skins', dripping, spraying, spreading medium with the palette knife is my way of painting."

    The exhibit of paintings is on now until March 30, 2013.
