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.

arrive, reach, revisit, turn and return is the graduating exhibition for the 2015 Emily Carr low-residency master’s candidates. The works presented feature interactive media, painting, photographic work, text, sculpture, and installation, and represent the culmination of three years of practice-based research.

Through a variety of overlapping concerns, the exhibition reflects on contemporary experience and its historical determinants with sensitivity, curiosity, and humour.

Emily Carr University is pleased to present a variety of recent works donated to the Emily Carr University Collection. We are honored to have received donations from the Koerner Family, Dr. Peter L. Herschman and Gretchen Chambers.

This current exhibition shows a selection of works from larger donations and includes a painting by celebrated Vancouver artist John Koerner; a folio of lithographs by Robert Motherwell with poems by Octavio Paz; a series of lithographs by Jean-Paul Riopelle, Joan Miro, and Alberto Giacometti; prints by Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinksy and Andre Derain; and a collection of the drawings and notebooks of Arthur Morton who studied under Fred Varley, an early teacher at the Vancouver School of Art.

The Charles H. Scott Gallery is pleased to present Drawings, a solo exhibition by distinguished Canadian artist Garry Neill Kennedy.

The exhibition features an extensive collection of nearly 1600 pieces, made up of notes, drawings and doodles begun during the artist’s twenty-three year tenure as president of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. The exhibition presents an accumulation of ten years worth of plans, from the late 1970s to the late 1980s, for future art works and installations, including exhibitions that occurred and ones that never transpired.

In Bauhaus Weaving, T’ai Smith deftly reframes the Bauhaus weaving workshop as central to theoretical inquiry at the school, uncovering new significance in the work the weavers did as writers. Exploring questions of establishing value and legitimacy in the art world along with the limits of Modernism, this book confronts the belief that the crafts are manual and technical, but never intellectual arts. Smith is Assistant Professor of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory at the University of British Columbia.
