Faculty of Culture + Community

The Contemporary Art Gallery presents Walking a Line, a series of collaborative drawing experiences for all ages, created by students as part of Community, Collaboration and Pedagogy, a studio course with Emily Carr University of Art + Design hosted by CAG.

Story-gami Workshop
Jamie Chen, Madison Mayhew, Mary Seto, John Song, and Patrick Takata

The Charles H. Scott Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition by Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds. For the past four decades, Heap of Birds has made multidisciplinary artworks that confront the oppression of Indigenous peoples and attest to the artist’s profound bond with the landscape of his Cheyenne and Arapaho homeland.

A temporary public art installation entitled Blackberry/Butterfly Net will be revealed on Saturday, August 13, at Bridgeport Industrial Park. The new artwork, by artist Sharon Kallis, uses blackberry fibre rope made by community members who participated in a series of artist-led workshops in July and August.

Please join the Charles H. Scott Gallery for a panel discussion with Emily Carr University's Master of Applied Arts graduates. The select group of graduates will discuss their work in the current exhibition "see level".

Through a reflective conversation moderated by recent Emily Carr MAA graduate Christann Kennedy, the artists will discuss parallels between their disparate practices, searching for commonalities within their respective research, concepts, places, spaces and surfaces.

About the Artists

Experience This Live performance in the Charles H. Scott Gallery

Join us at the Charles H. Scott Gallery to mark the end of Like a Rolling Stone: An Exhibition About Rock and Rock with a performance by Experience This.

Experience This is a three-piece blues band, featuring Laura Piasta, an artist participating in Like a Rolling Stone, along with members Jen Smyth and Johan Björck. In addition to the performance, Vancouver-based artist, Katrina Niebergal will DJ.

Like a Rolling Stone conflates geology and rock music, it considers the ways in which two seemingly unrelated subjects linked by the same homograph share associations and points of contact that are both concrete and implied.

Please join us in welcoming Charles Stankievech, recipient of the Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence Program for Spring/Summer 2016. Stankievech will be giving a public talk in the Emily Carr Theatre, followed by a reception in the Charles H. Scott Gallery.

For the second installment of After Hours, Justine Gabias (alumna + Student Development Advisor) presents Exportée, a projection of Super 8mm film footage shot by her grandfather during the 1950's and 1960's in Québec.

Justine remixes her family's history into semi-fictional vignettes, adding subtitles of dreamed up conversations between her grandparents and their seven children.

Please join us on Friday March 4th for the first screening of Justine’s Exportee and enjoy a Labatt Bleue tablette* and some delicious poutine. *Biere tablette translates to "shelf beer”, which means the beer is served at room temperature. This is how they would drink it in Québec.

Join us for the launch of The Everyday Practice of Public Art: Art, Space and Social Inclusion, an anthology edited by Associate Professor, Dr. Cameron Cartiere and Martin Zebracki.

The book contains contributions from artists, curators, activists, writers and educators from North America, Europe and Australia—including members of the Emily Carr community, such as Justin Langlois (Associate Professor), Susan Stewart (Dean, Faculty of Culture + Community) and Elisa Yon (MAA alumna). The collection examines the evolution of public art, moving beyond monuments and memorials to focus on the development of socially engaged public art practice.

READ Books in the Charles H. Scott Gallery
March 1, 2016 | 4:30pm

The Charles H. Scott Gallery and READ Books are pleased to announce After Hours, a new series of projections by artists presented in the bookstore window.

For the project, artists, designers, writers, musicians and curators have selected films and videos, created YouTube playlists or put together slideshows to be screened during the winter months from sunset until midnight. The series kicks off with a staff pick, the project’s namesake After Hours (1985), Martin Scorsese’s dark comedy that follows the misadventures of an uptight office worker as he attempts to return home from a night out in New York City’s SoHo arts district. What ensues is a series of absurd coincidences in a bizarre underworld of outlandish artists and Kafkaesque diversions and traps.
