Media + Concourse Gallery Exhibitions

PRINT is an exhibition of current student work focusing on Print Media at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. The intention of this exhibition is to not only showcase the kind of work being produced behind closed doors, but to reach out to a greater community of creative people and introduce them to the beauty of Printmaking.

Exhibited work showcases various types of printmaking processes such as silkscreen, etching, lithography, and relief, along with other experimental forms.

Participation in the University's Exchange Program is an opportunity to enrich and diversify a student's education. The experience of travel, exposure to different cultural and educational settings, and to other teachers and students of art and design can contribute greatly to their growth as an artist.

The annual Faculty Show offers a glimpse at the diverse range of interests and creative investigation of Emily Carr’s distinguished faculty. The exhibition affords an opportunity for both students and the public to appreciate the work of these educators, whose personal research and practice informs their teaching.

NET-ETH: Going out of the Darkness is a group exhibition of over twenty contemporary and traditional First Nations artists, among them are Indian Residential School survivors and their descendants whose work is a powerful testimony to their personal healing process.

NET-ETH is a Musqueam metaphor for “the first light after the darkness, a time when you pray and cleanse your tools to make them strong”. Here, the artwork reflects the process of “opening up to the light, so that we can all heal together” from the intergenerational trauma that is the sad legacy of Canada’s Indian Residential School system.

Junior Design Office, a two-week student led design consultancy, is a unique platform that brings together Emily Carr undergraduate design students with SFU Beedie business students to create meaningful, sustainable product design.

How it Works

Clients (SFU Beedie students) present products in various stages of development. Based on the clients' needs, the JDO work as a team to develop designs though prototyping and iterations. The clients come out of the experience with a refined concept, sketches and prototype to take their product into further development and members of the JDO are provided with tangible real-world experience working in a design firm environment.

Curated by Industrial Designer and Continuing Studies faculty member Ying-Chiu Chan, this exhibition charts the work of former Continuing Studies industrial design students as they move across the globe into areas including - transportation design, architecture, technology development and entrepreneurship.

This exhibition presents a selection of works that explore the ways artists have depicted both the city and the country. Each of these subjects is ideally suited to the graphic potential of the print medium. The architectural structures of cities and towns express the dynamics of the built environment, places of energy and activity. Artists respond to the contrasts of light and shade and the complex relationships of space and form. Among those presented are works by the German/Israeli artist Hermann Struck whose etchings depict New York in 1912, Oskar Kokoschka the Austrian expressionist artist’s colour lithograph of Manhattan and a screen print, “Brooklyn Bridge” by American artist Robert Indiana.

The act of reading “opens awareness of the self as always emergent rather than fixed,” reflects Randy Lee Cutler, in the C Magazine article A Practice in Reading.

From losing oneself in a page-turner, to the nonlinear reading of ubiquitous media of everyday text and imagery, we read not only the language presented, but we become closer to understanding how diverse the processing of this information is from individual to individual. With LIBRO The Liberation of the Book, we ask, what happens when a printed publication is experienced in the bare hand of a viewer, as opposed to being secured behind glass?
