Exhibit Divergence: Insights into Studio Practices 2012-04-12 10:00:00
Description

From the studios of 19 University of Victoria art education instructors in the Faculty of Education comes a rich and diverse exhibition of images and objects that range through traditional and newer media. Working independently in their studios, these artist/educators collaborate and exchange ideas on a daily basis while working with students, engaging them in creative problem solving, and assisting in the preparation of work for exhibitions.

What they hold in common is a commitment to both the classroom and the studio as sites of research and dissemination. Teaching informs studio practice and studio informs teaching practice in the daily ebb and flow of professional life. This exhibition invites visitors to experience that dynamic interaction.

Exhibit On Communities and Nations 2012-04-12 10:00:00
Description

Ideas of community and nation have a complicated set of relationships. For some, communities are nations.
For historian Benedict Anderson, nations are synthetic constructions that we come to imagine as communities through various systems of exchange that include public meeting places and the reproduction of images and narratives.

On Communities and Nations examines Anderson’s concept of imagined communities in relationship to the emergence of First Nations printmaking practices in the late twentieth century.

Film The Descendants 2012-04-12 19:00:00
Description

Director: Alexander Payne USA, 2011, 116 minutes; Blu-ray; PG
Cast: George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Judy Greer, Nick Krause
ACADEMY AWARD WINNER! BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY!
George Clooney in a pitch-perfect movie that threads a microscopically tiny needle between high comedy and devastating drama.
Clooney plays Matt King, the wealthy descendant of Hawaiian royalty, a privileged native of the islands who as the movie opens is watching his wife lie comatose in a hospital bed after suffering a boating accident. A distant husband and father, Matt must find a way to bond with his daughters, 10-year-old Scottie (Amara Miller) and 17-year-old Alex (Shailene Woodley). As Payne has done in his previous films (Citizen Ruth, Election, About Schmidt, Sideways), he has assembled a consistently outstanding cast. –Washington Post
