The question of time and the environment have long been intertwined within the discourse of art history. From the early maste ry of nature at the Temple of Petra in Jordan to revivals of Neoplatonic th ought within garden settings in Renaissance Italy to the land art movement of the mid-twentieth century in America\, weather\, environment\, and the t emporal coexist within a framework which mirrors the dual meaning of the Fr ench word “temps.” Temps can mean both weather and time. Today\, we face th e consequences of accelerating climate shifts and an urgency to respond to ecological matters. The increased awareness of sustainability within the cu ltural sphere has led to multiple protests and counter-discourses against t he current ideologies perpetuated by multinational corporations. The dire n eed for reform is matched with rapidly disappearing resources: within 100 y ears\, the face of earth will have dramatically changed. The People’s Clima te March in September of this year revealed the necessity for action as wel l as the diverse and global connections created around this topic.
Co nsidering the importance of time and the environment for contemporary and h istorical art discourse and practice\, the 2015 UBC Art History\, Visual Ar t and Theory (AHVA) 38th Annual Graduate Symposium seeks to examine the rel ationship between the cultural sphere\, time\, and environment.
Exhib ition curated by Margaret Stern & Alice Choi
AHVA Gallery hours: Tuesday to Saturday\, 12 – 4 pm
