Brushstrokes of success

Obsolescence is the annual capstone exhibition presented by the graduating class of the Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) program at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. Open until Wednesday, the year카지노 게임 컬렉션�s exhibition showcases a diverse range of artistic practices, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, installation, and digital media.

The title Obsolescence reflects the cohort카지노 게임 컬렉션�s collective inquiry into themes of transition, decay, renewal, and evolving forms of presence and absence카지노 게임 컬렉션�concepts that have emerged through their individual and collaborative studio research.

Co-chairing the event this year are Emma Poley and Sydney Hanson. Emma is a Peterborough/Nogoywanong born printmaker who is based in Kingston. Sydney카지노 게임 컬렉션�s work investigates the concept of femininity, adapting archival family photographs to express untold narratives. Prior to the opening of the show, Sydney sat down to discuss the show and what it means to her fellow students in the BFA program.

Sydney, who has been interested in fine arts since she was a child, explains Obsolescence showcases a year of work of the 20 graduating BFA students. The show, based in Ontario Hall, gives the students the opportunity to participate in a professional show that is open to the public.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�This show represents taking an idea and creating a fully realized body of work,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says, adding the show is important to the students as it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s an opportunity for their work to be seen. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is the first opportunity I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve had to showcase my work to the public. I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve had individual pieces in a show but to have all my ideas seen by other people 카지노 게임 컬렉션� I want to hear opinions and feedback. And meeting other artists and what their experiences are.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Reflecting on the show, Sydney says her emotions are complicated. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I feel so proud of everyone, but I also feel sadness because this is such a unique experience. Especially the last few weeks, we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve been pulling all nighters and we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve all been together in the studio. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s bittersweet because I know this is coming to an end.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

BFA undergrad chair Professor Alejandro Arauz has been Sydney카지노 게임 컬렉션�s supervisor this past term and she speaks highly of him and all faulty members within the program. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This program is so small; you really build personal relationships with the professors. Hearing feedback from them is so important to my development.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Professor Arauz explains that at the end of their third year, students are required to write a proposal. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We want the students to prioritize a coherent body of work. That is the blueprint for the next six months of the fourth year of the BFA program. The final year is more like a graduate program where the students work independently but also attend seminars. In those seminars there are eight professional topics including graduate school applications, how to write a statement, applying for exhibitions, etc. This is all about vulnerability of taking the work from the studio to the public.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

He says when he sees the complete show, he has a feeling of pride because he knows the successes and failures the students have experienced to be here.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The title of the show has a meaning of something becoming obsolete,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Professor Arauz explains. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This is the second last group exhibition of the BFA program. But change is always good in that these practices should exist in the new plan.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
