Best Before: Archivised – BFA Project 2017
March 23, 2017 to April 01, 2017
SFU's School for the Contemporary Arts' third-year visual art students present an exhibition featuring counter-archives of vernacular images and micro-histories. Through these displays, students present their theoretical and aesthetic reflections on the significance of the archive and its aporias.
Towards the development of Best Before: Archivised, students worked with the 2017 Audain Visual Artist in Residence, Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyen in a series of workshops that investigated the function of the archive(s) and how they can be reconfigured to counter the conventional historical narratives of settler colonialism. Nguyen worked with students to experiment with archival modalities including unorthodox approaches to classification, contested notions and forms of representations of citizenship and knowledge production. The counter-archives they produced challenge the imbalance between stable, linear state-constructed narratives, and the uneven, non-linear story of migrants' and indigenous peoples' in Canada.
Featuring the work of Joni Cheung, Elmira Habibullah, Jana Ghimire, Samantha Henderson, Phoebe Huang, Mikaela Johanson, Gillian Lai, Lori Lai, ByeongSung Lee, Sean Lu, Ivan So, Kalvin Valko, Emma Wedman, and June Yeo.
Venue: Audain Gallery, SFU Woodward's in the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts
Location: 149 W. Hastings Vancouver, BC
