The Artist’s Self (and Selfies) at the Vancouver Art Gallery

This past spring, students in ARTH 381: Artist in Society (with Professor Catherine Soussloffvisited Cindy Sherman, an important retrospective of the artist’s work on view at the Vancouver Art Gallery. In the course, which investigates the figure of the visual artist from the early modern period to the present, students were asked to write an impressionistic account of the exhibition accompanied by a selfie taken against the backdrop of Sherman’s work. Thank you to students who shared some of their selfies for the newsletter!
