Please join us for an Artist Talk by Mircea Cantor, on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Rennie Collection at Wing Sang.

The reflective work of Romanian artist and Prix Marcel Duchamp winner Mircea Cantor (b. 1977) is the subject of a Rennie Collection at Wing Sang exhibition this winter. This is the first solo presentation of his work in Canada. While Cantor works in a number of different mediums, he is best known for his ostensibly simple video narratives that slowly build to subtle but powerful climax leaving the audience with conclusions that keep them thinking well beyond the exhibition.

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
