The Pacific | Libby Leshgold Gallery
October 21, 2017 to January 14, 2018
Opening Reception | Friday, October 20, 7pm

The Pacific, the inaugural exhibition at the Libby Leshgold Gallery, brings together artists from countries in and around the Pacific Ocean. The exhibition considers the Pacific Ocean as a shared and connected space. It explores the idea that although the Pacific is an immense body of water there is a strong sense that it is a space of connection between peoples that live beside or are surrounded by it — that it brings people together rather than separates them. In contrast, much of the narrative around the Atlantic Ocean has historically perceived it as a space of distancing and division.

Please join us in celebrating this collection of new work: Vanessa Grondin, Lexical Julia Dahee Hong, A Reasonable Request Alysa Hullett, Tiny Alligator Keagan Perlette, Prayers and Blasphemies W.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Establishments, institutions, public areas, domestic spaces, even ephemeral situations carry with them protocols with which we are asked to comply as we encounter, enter, or pass through them. Our contemporary understanding of “protocol” is as “an official procedure or system of rules governing affairs or behaviours.” However, early definitions of the term—a provisional draft, a working manuscript—imply its opposite.

We invite submissions of recent or proposed work from students active in any and all media, to be considered for inclusion in an exhibition project investigating this expanded space of protocol, collaboratively curated by the students of Emily Carr University’s AHIS 401 Topics in Curatorial Projects.

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.

This September, READ Books director Kathy Slade showcased the Charles H. Scott Gallery and Emily Carr University Press to the London Art Book Fair. The Book Fair, the largest in Europe, was held over three days at London’s Whitechapel Gallery and featured more than 100 exhibitors from around the world. This is the first time the Charles H. Scott Gallery participated in the Book Fair and the Gallery’s selection of art publications was named one of five noteworthy exhibits by AA Bronson, founder of the New York Art Book Fair,in TimeOut London.
