TEACHING (a) Areas of special interest and accomplishments Primary areas of instruction last five years: printmaking (with digital imaging), drawing, open studio. Additional prior areas of instruction: photography, painting, foundation, studio theory, and digital imaging. Traditional and non-traditional contexts and approaches to the producton of art are explored within the undergraduate studio-based classes I teach. Visual explorations and the reading of critical texts are aimed at broadening the scope of the artmaking process to include current social and political realities. Print Media courses introduce students to multidisciplinary contemporary printmaking practice and theoretical discussion. Drawing courses combine the analysis of current drawing texts, with material practice exploring drawing as a process of visual thinking. Since the early 90s, within an increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative framework, a range of course projects have linked with other UBC departments and community groups outside the university. At the graduate level, I regularly supervise MFA students working in a variety of media within our rigorous two- year MFA in Visual Art Program that fosuses on practice and theory, within the intellectual environment of the university and local and international art communities.

Au nom du conseil d’administration de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada, je souhaite la bienvenue à tous les participants au congrès 2014 de Toronto. C’est toujours un plaisir pour l’Association de venir à Toronto, mais cette année, nous sommes particulièrement heureux d’être accueillis par l’Université OCAD, un établissement jouissant d’une longue et brillante feuille de route en ce qui a trait à la production de certains des plus importants artistes du Canada. J’aimerais remercier l’Université OCAD et sa présidente, Sara Diamond, pour le parrainage de cette conférence. Des remerciements particuliers vont aux coprésidents du comité d’organisation sur place, Charles Reeve et Caroline Langill, ainsi qu’aux membres de leur équipe, Claudette Lauzon, Keith Bresnahan, Anda Kubis, Adam Tindale, Audrey Hudson, Jessica Wyman, Laragh Halldorson et Sarah McLean Knapp. Le programme du congrès de cette année s’annonce très excitant—et rempli! Nous essayons une nouveauté cette année, une journée supplémentaire dédiée au perfectionnement professionnel et à des séances pédagogiques. En tant qu’Association d’art des universités du Canada, nous avons une responsabilité particulière à l’égard du perfectionnement professionnel de nos étudiants aux cycles supérieurs. Comme les emplois traditionnels en enseignement et dans les musées se raréfient, il nous faut aider nos étudiants à trouver des carrières intéressantes, tant au sein des universités qu’à l’extérieur de celles-ci. Je vous encourage à venir écouter notre conférencière Jennifer Polk, du site From PhD to Life, parler de ces possibilités dimanche matin à 9 h 30, et à participer aux tables rondes sur le perfectionnement professionnel et pédagogique qui suivront.

    The Skullcracker Suite

    DR JOHN CUSSANS DEPARTMENT: FINE ART REF OUTPUT 2 2014 - 2020 THE SKULLCRACKER SUITE A LONG- TERM INTER- DISCIPLINARY ARTISTIC RESEARCH PROJECT INVESTIGATING PROCESSES OF CULTURAL DECOLONIZATION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. RESEARCH STATEMENT The Skullcracker Suite is long-term inter-disciplinary artistic research project investigating processes of cultural decolonization in British Columbia. The name is inspired by Hox’hok, the giant cannibal crane of Canadian First Nation legend who cracks the skulls of humans to eat their brains. The project was conceived in the Summer of 2015 during a meeting with Steve Calvert, a Canadian artist who, between 2012 and 2014, had documented the potlatch ceremonies and copper-breaking protests of the Kwakwaka’wakw artist and chief Beau Dick. Inspired by the idea of combining aspects of the winter ceremonial and potlatch traditions of the Kwakwaka’wakw peoples with decolonial, ecological and science fictional currents within contemporary art and critical theory, The Skullcracker Suite was imagined as a dramatic theatrical allegory for the ‘permanent decolonization of thought’ proposed by the Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. In June 2016 I was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship to begin the first phase of research. This culminated in BC Time-Slip (The Empire Never Ended), a multi-component portfolio of works investigating the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick’s fateful visit to Vancouver in 1972. BC TIME-SLIP (THE EMPIRE NEVER ENDED) The project takes its name from Philip K. Dick’s 1964 Mars colonization novel Martian Time-Slip and a mystical vision he had in March 1974 that the Roman Empire had never ended and that North Americans were still unwittingly living in its Black Iron Prison.
  • Matthew Schreiber a Solid Laser Illusion

    Matthew Schreiber a Solid Laser Illusion

    Matthew Schreiber A Solid Laser Illusion By Catarina Marques April 12, 2018 At seven years old, Matthew Schreiber was already trying to build his first laser. At fifteen, he made his first laser installation. Since then, inspired by art history, pop culture, and sci-fi movies, the Brooklyn-based creative has been mastering the art of light while exploring how can it amplify a volume of space. At first, his work may feel intangible as it assembles a sci-fi movie or a computer simulation, but it isn’t. It isn’t an illu- sion, it’s very solid and real. Ready to get in? Who are you and where do you come from? I’m Matthew Schreiber and I grew up in Cleveland (Ohio), but I currently live and have a studio in Brooklyn (New York). How did your interest in art start? When I was five years old, my parents gave me a book where you learn to draw along with a television show. That is when it all began. And what about your interest in light, lasers, holograms and such ‘special effects’? How did those practices develop till today? When I was seven years old, I tried to build a laser. When I was fifteen – in high school –, in my physics class I made my first laser installation. In undergraduate school I earned a Fine Arts Degree in Painting, but I continued my study in lasers, more specifically holography. Johannes Vogt Gallery 958 Madison Ave New York, NY 10021 How was it to work with James Turrell for so many years? What were the biggest lessons you learnt from it? Working for James was amazing and perfect for what I have been interested in (light and space).

    Club Hosts Audi Art Installation May 17,2016

    NYC’s CORE: Club Hosts Audi Art Installation May 17,2016 NYC’s CORE: Club Hosts Audi Art Installation By The Daily Front Row | May 17, 2016 1 Last week, New York’s uber-exclusive CORE: Club hosted an exhibit that celebrates Audi’s newest model, the Q7, as part of its Bold Notion Series. Matthew Schreiber, known for his light-centric, eye-catching, mind-bending installations, used 400 LED lights throughout the club, a nod to Audi’s early innovations in LED technology. We chatted with Schreiber to shed some light (pun intended) on the partnership. Tell us about the exhibit! Well, this is my first lobby art, so that was very difficult. I had to figure out how to deal with the space, and all these weird shapes. So I tried to figure out how to erase the space. And one way to do that is to turn all the lights out, so that’s why it’s so dark. For the entrance, I was thinking about the movies where you see people come in through security systems and they’re being scanned, so it’s sort of an abstraction of that, or an overblown version of a laser-scanning entrance, along with some other stuff I think about with physics. And then you move into the next piece, which is a standard of mine—it’s these circles, which happen to work pretty well with the Audi stuff. I made it red to be the Audi color. But I tried to look back to the ’60s pop art movement, so it has this pattern that I’ve never done before.

Vancouver’s Commercial Galleries and the Production of Art Appendix: Vancouver Commercial Gallery Chronology Michael Turner 228 Contributors 230 Index Preface Since the mid-1980s, the once marginal city of Vancouver has developed within a globalized economy and become an internationally recognized centre for contemporary visual art. Vancouver’s status is due not only to a thriving worldwide cultural community that has turned to examine the so-called periphery, but to the city’s growth, its artists, expanding institu- tions, and a strong history of introspection and critical assessment. As a result, Vancouver art is visible and often understood as distinct and definable. This anthology, Vancouver Art & Economies, intends to compli- cate the notion of definability. It offers essays on diverse topics to address the organized systems that have affected contemporary art in Vancouver over the last two decades.
