| Exhibit | The Silent Observer | 2012-03-28 | 07:30:00 |
| Description
|
He is known as the “father of Canadian photojournalism,” quietly clicking with the "eye of an artist, the concentration of a surgeon, and the reflexes of a cat." From Trudeau’s mischievous slide down the banister on Parliament Hill, to Ben Johnson’s momentary thrill of triumph at winning the 100 meter dash, to the accusing glance of a child of the Chernobyl disaster, Ted Grant has created thousands of iconic images over the past six decades, distilling our world into single, expanding moments.
The Silent Observer features Grant's latest work, a continued exploration of healers, this time from the point of view of medical interns. Grant captures these young men and women in classrooms, operating rooms and rural clinics, from moments of intense concentration to playful laughter, as they journey from student to physician.
Ted Grant is the only photographer to hold both Gold and Silver medals for Photographic Excellence from the National Film Board of Canada. He has published eight books, lectured at prestigious universities and taught courses for the School of Journalism at Carleton University. He has acted as Photographic Coordinator for the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, and for the World Athletic Championships in Edmonton. In 2008, he was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Victoria.

| Film | Victoria premiere! PAYBACK | 2012-03-28 | 19:10:00 |
| Description
|
PAYBACK
Director: Jennifer Baichwal Canada, 2012, 86 minutes. With Margaret Atwood, Karen Armstrong, Raj Patel, William Rees, Conrad Black
What is debt? In this cinematic philosophical inquiry inspired by Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s book Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, several disparate notions of payback are explored and interwoven, from the “ecological debt” human beings owe to the planet to the “psychic debt” inherent in notions of revenge. Those expecting a straightforward documentary, with facts and figures, about economic debt crises or the inequities of the IMF should look elsewhere. Payback is a meditative, thoughtful exercise that’s far subtler.
Directed by Jennifer Baichwal, known for her stunning 2006 documentary Manufactured Landscapes, which examined environmental catastrophe through the work of artist Edward Burtynsky, Payback is similarly sophisticated, both visually and intellectually, taking on global issues through an artful lens.
But while the film is never short on beautiful big-screen images, from the haunting cells of a defunct 19th Century Penitentiary to the landscapes of the Albanian mountains, Payback is a limited item, more suited for the most art-house friendly of venues.
Loosely narrated by Atwood herself, seen typing on her computer and delivering her Payback lecture, Baichwal structures the film to keep the viewer on their toes.
Economic concerns underlie a number of the film’s issues (with a sprinkling of harsh capitalist critiques from ecologist William Rees and The Value of Nothing author Raj Patel). But Atwood and Baichwal are primarily interested in those debts that can’t be paid back with money. --Screen International

| Lecture/Seminar | CSRS Public Lecture Series - Orientalists, Islamists and the Global Public Sphere | 2012-03-28 | 16:30:00 |
| Description
|
Centre for Studies in Religion and Society Public Lecture Series
Orientalists, Islamists and the Global Public Sphere
Dietrich Jung, CSRS Visiting Research Fellow
University of Southern Denmark
In light of ongoing debates that focus on the differences between Islam and the West, this presentation suggests a change of perspective by aiming to understand similarities. Beginning with the view shared by many Muslims and Westerners of Islam as an all-encompassing and unchanging cultural entity, the presentation will trace this interpretation of Islamic traditions back to the interaction among Islamic reformers, Western Orientalists and scholars of religion in the 19th century.
Dietrich Jung is a professor and head of the Center for Contemporary Middle East Studies at the University of Southern Denmark. He holds an MA in political science and Islamic studies, a PhD in political science from the University of Hamburg, and has extensive field experience in the Muslim world. He has published numerous scholarly articles on the causes of war; peace and conflict studies; political Islam; modern Turkey and on conflicts in the Middle East.

| Exhibit | Divergence: Insights into Studio Practices | 2012-03-28 | 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 | Mark Laver: Shining Examples | 2012-03-28 | 10:00:00 |
| Description
|
Dark, wet, Vancouver Island nights receive a painterly treatment in Mark Laver’s intimate Night Paintings and ambitious Rural Disasters. Be it urban parks after midnight, trailer park fires, nocturnal car crashes or rural highways, the exhibit reveals a battle between the psychological and narrative power of nocturnal imagery and the allure of oil paint itself. Smeared, swirled, glazed and dripped, the luscious materiality of paint is as much the subject of these paintings as the landscape Laver calls home.
