"For each person there are two worlds, the ‘idios kosmos’, which is a unique private world, and the ‘koinos kosmos’, which literally means the shared world. No person can tell which parts of his worldview is idios kosmos and which is koinos kosmos, except by the achievement of a strong empathetic rapport with other people." 

Stephan Garneau looks to the space between the private world and our collective consciousness to consider the effect of technology on our faculties of cognition, notions of harmony, and our relation to the natural world. His new work, Destar is composed of a series of slow-moving sequences produced in Vancouver during the fall of 2016 and is made for the window of READ Books.

witness this a revolution from within the chamber beamed back out circles expelling real colour heavily repeated rotations the body swells with nausea turn it into hypnotherapy

And heal those mind-thoughts! and like swine on a spit that rolls on pole hair drapery flips over and over And spills out of gaps in the boards awkward elbow angles jut adjusts in mid air moods swivel, level, and elevate when new attitudes form you know it’s working...

Using rotation as a motif, Kara Hansen’s newest video work Tracing a Circle, Cranking a State is a view of the artist’s experiments to provide a therapeutic experience for her participants. Corporeal fragments poke out of a crudely built receptacle pieced together from mismatched offcuts.

Emily Carr University is pleased to announce Sean Lynch as the Fall 2016 Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence. Please join us in the ECU Theatre on October 6th for a talk by Lynch, which will be followed by a reception in the Charles H. Scott Gallery.
