| Exhibit | Mark Laver: Shining Examples | 2012-03-15 | 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.

| Lecture/Seminar | Lansdowne Lecture - Perplexing "I" | 2012-03-15 | 19:30:00 |
| Description
|
Professor Beatrice Longueness
New York University
Perplexity at the role in thought and knowledge of the first person pronoun “I” dates at least as far back as Descartes’ celebrated argument “I think, therefore I am.” Philosophers sometimes propose the idea that in using “I” to refer to ourselves we manifest the fact that we are not just objects among other objects in the world, but also subjects of thought and action. But what might that mean? This lecture will draw on recent works in philosophy of language and mind, psychology and psychoanalysis to investigate different uses of “I” and their role in expressing human beings’ conception of themselves and their place in the world.

| Exhibit | The Silent Observer | 2012-03-15 | 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.

| Exhibit | Divergence: Insights into Studio Practices | 2012-03-15 | 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.

| Film | Once Upon A Time in Anatolia | 2012-03-15 | 19:15:00 |
| Description
|
Director: Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Turkey, 2011, 150 minutes; Turkish with subtitles; Blu-ray
“A subtle, gorgeous and mysterious allegory.” –Salon
A metaphysical road movie about life, death and the limits of knowledge. It was directed by the Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan, whose earlier movies include “Distant” and “Three Monkeys” and who in recent years has emerged as one of the consistently most exciting directors on the international scene. His latest, which shared the grand prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, takes the unassuming form of a police investigation that, as miles and words mount, evolves into a plangent, visually stunning meditation on what it is to be human. The story is direct, if the journey less so. A man has been murdered, and a small battalion — a doctor, a prosecutor, a few policemen, several soldiers, diggers with shovels — has invaded the countryside with the suspect to dig up the body. The trouble is that the accused claims to have been drunk when he committed the murder and can’t remember where he buried the body. And so off the men go driving up and down the sensuous, rolling hills of Anatolia…The dead haunt “Once Upon a Time in Anatolia,” but so does beauty. ---The New York Times
