Painters Talking about Painting
Eva Berendes

Room 410B South Building

Eva Berendes’ works interrogate how we establish an object as a painting, or a painting as an object. They examine the constituent elements of image-making and unfold painting as an expanded field of production and a process of layering intervals of various surfaces. 

Twilight Hour Lecture Series

Robert Youds
Monday, October 6th, 5:30pm, room 410B South Building

Robert Youds will be speaking about his work at this year's first Twilight Hour: Monday, October 6th at 5:30pm in room 410B SB.

Robert Youds was born in Burnaby holds a BFA from UVic and an MFA from York University and is currently a Professor of Visual Arts at University of Victoria.

“Since the 1980s, Robert Youds has conducted a singular investigation of the material conditions of the pictorial--a path that has led him from paintings with cut-out apertures through stretched lines of colour made of strands of latex and velvet cushions bound with ropes through to his recent constructions incorporating fluorescent, neon and LED lights” - Barry Schwabsky

The Charles H. Scott Gallery and the Faculty of Graduate Studies are pleased to present an Artist Talk as part of the Rennie Collection Speaker Series.

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.

National Portfolio Day is an event specifically for visual artists and designers. It's a great opportunity for those who wish to pursue an education in the visual and related arts to meet with representatives from universities and colleges accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. Representatives will be available to review your artwork, discuss programs and answer questions about professional careers in art, design and media. High school students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors and college transfer students are encouraged to attend.
