Structure & Curio - a group exhibition featuring new paintings by Frances Ho (08) at the Yaletown Gallery.

October 16-30, 2008 

This two-person exhibition, guest curated by David Khang (00/Sessional Faculty), features the works of two recent alumni, Amy Thompson (08) and Erin Perry (06). Amy Thompson’s Faces is a series of frontal photographic portraits of birds. As a volunteer for local wildlife organizations, Thompson uses her contacts as an opportunity to create photographs of birds in convalescence. The frontal composition and the direct gazing-back of the avian subjects challenge the viewer to question how we as humans are to look at inter-species relations beyond the allegorical.

For hundreds of years, the Canadian landscape has been a prevailing subject for artists. Search/Research: contemporary landscapes focuses on diverse approaches artists take in searching and researching the landscape. Approaches range from David Pirrie's analysis of mountain terrain and Landon Mackenzie's (Associate Professor) exploration of history and geography, to Scott Massey's (03) interventions with nature in the urban environment and Blaine Campbell's (07) investigations into re-development projects such as those related to the 2010 Olympics.

David Khang (00) is exhibiting in a show entitled Grotesques along with Cheto Castellano, Irene Loughlin, Natalie Loveless, Naufus Ramirez-Figuroa and Coco Rico at A Space in Toronto.

Grotesques must be thought of as a site of experimentation, where risk is a seductive ally that pries open the aperture for possibility. In this collective exhibition, the grotesque is invoked as a realm of mutative, transitional, and transgressive potentiality.
