Room 410B South Building

Eva Berendes’ works interrogate how we establish an object as a painting, or a painting as an object. They examine the constituent elements of image-making and unfold painting as an expanded field of production and a process of layering intervals of various surfaces. 

Twilight Hour Lecture Series

Robert Youds
Monday, October 6th, 5:30pm, room 410B South Building

Robert Youds will be speaking about his work at this year's first Twilight Hour: Monday, October 6th at 5:30pm in room 410B SB.

Robert Youds was born in Burnaby holds a BFA from UVic and an MFA from York University and is currently a Professor of Visual Arts at University of Victoria.

“Since the 1980s, Robert Youds has conducted a singular investigation of the material conditions of the pictorial--a path that has led him from paintings with cut-out apertures through stretched lines of colour made of strands of latex and velvet cushions bound with ropes through to his recent constructions incorporating fluorescent, neon and LED lights” - Barry Schwabsky

The Charles H. Scott Gallery and the Faculty of Graduate Studies are pleased to present an Artist Talk as part of the Rennie Collection Speaker Series.

Artist Talk | Wednesday, October 1, 7pm
Lecture Theatre | Room 301, South Building

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The exhibition is primarily comprised of the artist’s recent paintings, with a focus on works that were produced as props for artworks such as The Gifted Amateur, Pipe Cleaner Artist, My Late Early Styles and Lobbing Potatoes at a Gong. Many of these prop paintings were produced and continue to be developed long after the work for which they were originally intended was completed.
