Faculty of Visual Art + Material Practice

Please join us for a talk with Montreal-based painter David Elliott.

David Elliott is a painter working since the 1970s in a genre that mixes representation with the illusion of flat collage and found materials. His works have been exhibited around the world, including a retrospective at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City. He is a professor at Concordia University in Montreal and is represented by Joyce Yahouda Gallery.

Please join us for a talk with interdisciplinary artist (+ retired sessional faculty member) Eric Metcalfe. 

Alumnus Scott Conarroe ('01) will discuss his photographic project, Frontiere, Frontera, Grenze. With the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Conarroe photographed the moveable borders Alps Nations devised in response to permafrost melt and watershed drift. This expansive landscape study contains both the aftermath of our industrial age and avant-guard views of statecraft for an era increasingly defined by climate change.

11:30am - 12:20pm, Room 245, North Building
Conversation to continue following the talk. 

Felicia E. Gail will be speaking about spaces of photographic practice: you, me, and a fly on the wall. A closer look at travel back to blue, a presentation of historic and poetic tangents.

Meridian Frame is a month long series of presentations on contemporary photographic practices at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Twice during the academic year, over the course of a month, the photography studio & the S3D Mocap Studio will serve as opportunities to disseminate photographic research practices by way of weekly lunch-hour presentations.

Felicia E. Gail returns to Gallery 295 with a major solo exhibition, travel back to blue.

Please join us for the first Twilight Talk of the year with UBC Art Historian Jaleh Mansoor.

Drawn through a case study of three artists working in reconstruction era Italy (1949-1963), Lucio Fontana, Alberto Burri, and Piero Manzoni, Mansoor's first book Marshall Plan Modernism: The Beginnings of Autonomia explores abstract painting as an index of social transition during what was known as ‘miracolo Italiano,’ or Italian Miracle.  Mansoor focuses first on the singularly striking formal and procedural violence of these artists’ works.
