FCCS Visiting Artist Series: Emily Geen

Join us on Monday, October 6, for an artist talk with Emily Geen. Emily completed her BFA at UBC Okanagan (2012), followed by her MFA at the University of Victoria (2015), and has taught studio art at the University of Victoria since 2015.

Emily Geen’s work navigates our relationships to images: as portals, as surfaces, as archives, and as objects. Her hybrid artistic processes have included personal image collections, scanning, found/readymade objects, casting, image transfers, video, reflections, laser engraving, cross stitch, stained glass, bookmaking, painting, text and sound. Embodied inquiries of nostalgia, temporality, phenomenology and architecture are prevalent in her work.

This talk will be held in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 250 Creative and Critical Art Theory class.

The Visual Arts program brings in a diverse variety of visiting artists for campus talks and public gallery presentations that include visual artists, filmmakers, sculptors, painters, playwrights, essayists, interactive and digital media artists.

All artist talks are free and open to all.
