Audain Distinguished Artist in Residence

ECU Lecture Theatre | Room 301, South Building

Elizabeth Price, our Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence  (Spring/Summer 2017) will give a public talk, followed by a reception in the Charles H. Scott Gallery.

Join us for a free talk with curator Michele Horrigan and Seanie Barron.

Curator Michele Horrigan presents an overview of her work in Askeaton where, since 2006, artists live and work each summer while thematic exhibitions, publications and events frequently occur.

Through these methods, over eighty artists projects have been realised. With no ‘white-cube’ galleries in Askeaton, art exists in publicly throughout the town, in locations from petrol stations and pubs to a medieval castle and ruined occult building. This form of engagement focuses on the existing dynamics of the locale, intending to bring forward the diverse layers of daily life and create a rich framework for subjective encounter.

Join us for a Visual Art Forum talk with Pittsburgh-based artist John Carson.

John Carson has presented live performances, soundworks, installations as both and has been involved in many public art projects. He has exhibited drawings, photographs, prints and sculpture in such venues as The Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin, The ICA in London, CCA in Glasgow, IKON Gallery in Birmingham, PS1 in New York, New Langton Arts in San Francisco and The Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh.

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.

We welcome Scottish artist Lucy Skaer as our Fall 2015 Audain Distinguished Artist-in-Residence.

Primarily working with sculpture and drawing, Skaer’s practice encompasses a wide variety of materials and methods. Engaging with both traditional and contemporary manufacturing processes, her sculptures evoke the sense of a half-remembered history still present in the world around us. Deeply engaged with the materiality and providence of objects, Skaer’s work hovers between recognizable forms and abstracted symbols, drawing the viewer into unravelling narrative associations.

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.
