February 23 – March 12\, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday February 25\, 5 – 7 pm.
Contem porary Histories— Intersecting Pasts and Futures is an exhibition feat uring works by: Derya Akay\, Jordy Hamilton\, Emily Hui\, Kevin Immanuel\, Vytas Narusevicius\, Heather Passmore and Joomi Seo.
Their works addr ess the question of the centrality of contemporaneity to political\, aesthe tic and curatorial discourses and the different ways in which notions of co ntemporaneity engage our collective pasts and anticipate our shared futures . The demand that artists produce work that exposes\, critiques or rejects that of their predecessors has lead to politically and conceptually ambitio us undertakings that have occasioned greater institutional self-reflexivity and sensitivity. These same obligations have also led to the dominance of the "new" in the criterion of aesthetic and curatorial judgment. The curato rs of the exhibition have selected works that address these concerns.
Contemporary Histories— Intersecting Pasts and Futures is a proje ct of the 2011 UBC Art History\, Visual Art & Theory (AHVA) 30th Annual Gra duate Symposium.
Gallery Hours: Wed – Sat\, 12 – 4 pm.
