How Do You Sleep With Yourself is an exhibitio n featuring the University of British Columbia’s 2011 graduating BFA/BA Vis ual Art students’ current work. The exhibition showcases these students’ co mmitment to art practice and diverse critical thinking which are essential to today’s contemporary art. Individual artistic practice involves strategi es to combat all kinds of orthodoxies\, classifications or chauvinisms of t he mind. Through variations of everyday imagery or language\, artists creat e their own space within larger social and cultural discourses. The union o f theory and practice engenders art which surpasses the boundaries of its o rigins. Within a global cultural context\, the vocabulary of contemporary a rt does not arise from one culture or homogenous source\; it springs from a myriad of sources that produce meaning in art.
I would like to thank Deana Holmes\, the Fourth Year Graduation Exhibition Student Committee\, P hillip McCrum\, and the fourth-year studio faculty members for coordinating the exhibition and catalogue. I am especially grateful to Athena Papadopou los\, Claire Sproule\, and Karen Tennant for their hard work on our success ful fundraising party. Without their dedication\, this exhibition would not be possible. I would also like to thank Ashleen Rider and Graeme Fisher fo r their insightful essay\, and our designer Brendan Albano\, for his intell igent work on the exhibition catalogue and posters.
Finally\, this ex hibition is undertaken with the indispensible support of Dr. Catherine Sous sloff and the Department of Art History\, Visual Art and Theory\, Universit y of British Columbia\; their assistance is very much appreciated. We are a lso grateful for the generous contributions made by the Canadian Foundation of Asian Art and the Visual Art Students’ Association toward this exhibiti on.
