The Emily Carr Alumni Gallery and the Queen Elizabeth Theatre are pleased to present Telling Time While Traveling at the Speed of Light, a solo exhibition of new work by Sean Mills ('10).

Telling Time While Traveling at the Speed of Light explores the properties and interactions of light, matter, gravity, motion, space, and time, relative to the art object.

In this we are arrived features objects and artworks that have made the journey to Vancouver as a by-product of individuals relocating to pursue either an MAA or MFA program.

Graduate students from Emily Carr, UBC, and SFU have provided objects of transnational origin. These relocated items form a collection of value, activating reminiscence as we adjust to this new psychic geography known as Vancouver, the site of our creative dialogues at the graduate level.

In theory,
as opposed to actual performance
or fact:
refers to a quality
that an idea, plan or person
seems to have when you read about them,
but which might not show the real
or complete situation.

Lynn Price is a fourth year visual arts student working in drawing, painting and installation. Her practice is an inquiry into the nature of perception and memory through repetition and accumulation. She will graduate with a Bachelor of Visual Arts in May 2013.

ie, gallery presents A Long Pause, a painting exhibition by Amiel Logan. 

Amiel Logan presents his first body of work since entering the Master of Applied Arts program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. 

Amiel has primarily worked through sculptural forms, however in his graduate studies he has moved towards the paintbrush and is focused on creating a completely new body of work. The formal properties in his pieces are of critical significance as they are meditations of presence in each art object.

We temper, we realize, we saunter, we circulate. We find, we color, we contemplate, we explode. We meditate, we wander, we whimsy, we wake. We love, we loathe, we wonder, we forget. We loose, we erase, we swim, we implode. We close, we open. We accept, we listen. We refuse, we excuse. We stop, we reject. We close, we open, we pause, and we say... fuck you, I’m happy.

Fuck you, I'm happy comes from a significant, yet anonymous source. We want to thank them for their contribution.

Fifteen students from a third year drawing studio summer course were asked by their instructor to create collaborative drawings, incentivized by a final installation and week-long exhibition.

The assignment was developed in the interest of a pedagogical practice, which highlights drawing as a dynamic and evolving practice, and encourages collective participatory creative acts. The parameters for this project included working simultaneously or in tandem, relinquishing control of a singular voice, merging aesthetic sensibilities and producing a final work that carries both narrative possibilities and visual cohesion.

Currently showing in the University Library window are examples of recent student work from the Continuing studies class Introduction to Metal Casting. The class explores the 'lost wax' technique and the examples showcase the student's, all of which were working for the first time in the foundry, and their impressive work.
