Like a Rolling Stone Events | Performance by Experience This
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.
Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence Charles Stankievech Lecture
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.
WITHINSIGHT | First Year MAA Interim Thesis Exhibition
WITHINSIGHT is a group exhibition of the first year MAA candidates at Emily Carr University. This survey of works represents a window into their studio explorations and creative research within the graduate program.*
The twelve resident graduate students have come together to produce a wide-reaching interdisciplinary exhibition with the aims of sharing their critical arts-based research with Vancouver’s artists, curators, theoreticians, educators and the public at large. The diverse bodies of work presented in WITHINSIGHT include painting and drawing, photography, sculpture, video and sound, and installation.
After Hours at READ Books | Exportée
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.
Book Launch | The Everyday Practice of Public Art: Art, Space, and Social Inclusion
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 | Screening and Launch of After Hours
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.
