We want you…. to talk about art. Or anything really. The thing is, it gets lonely blogging all alone in the world wide web. So if you want to contribute anything art related, please email us. (blog.ubcahsa@gmail.com) Perhaps you’ve been to a great exhibition, have something to complain about, or are interested in shameless self promotion. We won’t judge.
Need some inspiration? There’s a few new exhibits opening this weekend.
Faces – Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery
Group Exhibition
January 14-April 10
Website
Faces is a group exhibition that explores how ‘faces’ are represented in artwork. This exhibition breaks the convention of faces = portraiture. Each artwork has been carefully selected to help address notions of gender, race, and important social and historical contexts. With over 100 different pieces by established Canadian and international artists (Dana Claxton, Charles Edenshaw, Geoffrey Farmer, Lawren Harris, Liz Magor, Joan Miro, Joyce Weiland, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Paul Yuxwelupten the list keeps going). This exhibit is solid. Do attend.

Centre A’s latest exhibition is a collaborative show by Canadian artists Natalie Purschwitz and Kelly Lycan. These two artists have worked together for the last several months to collect, arrange and create site-specific installations comprised of plastic. Their work explores notions of collecting, and how public and private life governs our perceptions of the material world. For more information on the exhibition visit Centre A’s website.
