Emily Carr University Library

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.

Join us for a lunch hour talk with visiting artist Cynthia Camlin

All welcome!  

Cynthia Camlin’s intricate and stunning work reacts to icebergs, glaciers and remote environments, while bridging landscape and abstraction. Her pictures use chance procedures and traditional painting techniques in watercolour and acrylic paint to imagine water, ice, and earth – from crystalline patterns at the microscopic level, to the formation and destruction of immense landscapes. She interprets weather, erosion, cracking and melting through visual metaphor and her interest in the growing significance of ice as measures for climate change.

Curator Helga Pakasaar will speak about curating photographic archives.

Like a Rolling Stone is an exhibition about rock and rock. Conflating 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. Emerging artists, artists with international reputations and iconic artists are brought together in an exhibition that includes painting, photography, sculpture, video and documentation of performances.

I/O and Wandering Worx Entertainment present The Shambhala Experience Documentary Screening by Kevan McGovern.
