Emily Carr University is pleased to welcome David Zink Yi, who will join us in early 2015 as the Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence. The Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence Program, funded by Michael Audain and the Audain Foundation for the Visual Arts, enables the University to bring the world’s leading contemporary artists to live and work in Vancouver for a one to three month period. Guest artists and visiting lecturers are an integral part of the Emily Carr community – artists complement students’ education, work with existing faculty and bringing new opportunities for collaboration and engagement.

Addressing notions of shelter and protection, Gimme Shelter, a campus-wide exhibition features a range of works by Emily Carr University students who examine issues from affordable housing, and homelessness, to comfort and sanctuary.The selection of works showcases a variety of disciplines and levels of study.

In addition to the Concourse Gallery, supplementary sites will function as exhibition space around the University campus. These include the library, the cafeteria, and a series of peripheral spaces.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The exhibition is primarily comprised of the artist’s recent paintings, with a focus on works that were produced as props for artworks such as The Gifted Amateur, Pipe Cleaner Artist, My Late Early Styles and Lobbing Potatoes at a Gong. Many of these prop paintings were produced and continue to be developed long after the work for which they were originally intended was completed.
