Faculty news

Sessional Faculty member Vjeko Sager has been selected to take part in The Frost Art Museum Drawing Project's first online exhibition/project space. The project is part of the Frost Art Museum located within the Florida International University in Miami.

Art45 presents Landon Mackenzie: Four from February 15 to April 6, 2013.

Sessional faculty member Yu-Hang Huang will exhibit her latest installation at Art Souterrain 2013 from March 2 to March 17, 2013, in Montreal, Quebec.

The installation shows “home” which has been transferred into massive broken electric images representing time and distance for new immigrants. New cultures and images quickly mingle with old memories, and create proofs that seem there, but not there.

Issue 3.19 of The Capilano Review - Winter 2013 —the narrative issue— features short fiction, prose poems, excerpts from experimental novels, lists, graphic work, and more from Derek Beaulieu, Clint Burnham, Jen Currin, Nicole Markotic, Ashok Mathur, Vanessa Place, Meredith Quartermain, Sina Queyras, Gail Scott, Michael Turner, Emily Carr librarian Larissa Beringer, sessional instructor Aaron Peck, plus artwork by assistant professor Kyla Mallett.

The Capilano Review will launch the narrative issue on February 15 at 1965 Main Street in Vancouver at 8pm (doors open at 7:30pm). Cover charge and cash bar.

A review of Assistant Professor Kyla Mallett’s work How to See and Read the Aura, currently exhibiting at Mercer Union in Toronto can be read at Canadian Art Magazine.

The review, written by Ashley McLellan is entitled Self-Help Book Inspires Notable Kyla Mallett Work.

Sylvia Grace Borda, research associate, is presenting a body of 28 new photo works specially produced for Street Level, Glasgow. This newly commissioned work will be accompanied by an artist lecture, entitled The Agency of Light, wherein Sylvia will discuss the history of the photogram through the cyanotype and silver-based processes. For more info about the exhibition and lecture see Street Level Photo Works.

What makes a city special?  On Tuesday, January 29th at 7:30pm, Vancouverites can revisit a time when their city was unique in North America for its abundance of neon signs, spilling pools of colour onto rainy nighttime streets.

The Vancouver Heritage Foundation will present the documentary Glowing in the Dark in a public screening that night at Vancouver's historic Hollywood theatre. 

 Assistant professor Kyla Mallett has a solo exhibition at Mercer Union - A Centre for Contemporary Art in Toronto from January 10 to February 16, 2013.

The works for How to See and Read the Aura began as a tangent to Mallett’s Self-Help work. In collecting second-hand self-help materials, she encountered a book entitled How to See and Read the Aura which fell under the category of parapsychology and new-age healing. This text became a key element to her research in self-help, which Mallett expanded on in this body of work centred around this book.

Sessional faculty members Elizabeth MacKenzie and Cindy Mochizuki take part in the Memory Festival at The Roundhouse Community Arts and and Recreation Centre.

The festival includes a variety of exhibitions, performances, and a special workshop.
