RESIDENT MICROCOSMS (2010 Diploma of Fine Arts Graduation Exhibition)
June 6 - June 28, 2010
The graduating exhibition of the 2010 Diploma of Fine Arts students' work. This year's exhibition will feature the work of Maureen Calkins and Laura Feeleus. Both of these artists use ideas surrounding architectural space and biological organisms to inform their work. Maureen Calkins used her life-long experience of working in a hospital and used the ambient sounds, architectural space and invisible bacteria to inform her drawing and paintings. Laura Feeleus explores longing and belonging, and traditions of home and comfort through a sculptural installation.

This exhibit showcases the work of four artists from Victoria and the Gulf Islands who portray birds with wit, humour, and a touch of pathos". Artists include: Sheila Norgate, Roy Green, Diane Kremmer and Kimm Nightingale.

ANGLE OF INCIDENCE/ANGLE OF REFLECTION
December 10 - January 3, 2011
A curatorial project by Tanta Pennington who is using the definition of the term 'angle of incidence' as the jumping off point for this exhibition, "in physics, the angle of incidence is defined by the angle at which light or sound approach a surface and the angle of reflection is deemed to be the angle at which the light or sound reflects off the surface". The participating artists will use sculpture, video and poetry to respond to this concept. Artists: June Higgins, Rhonda Usipiuk, Marie Kajdasz, Jillian Player and Anne Hopkinson.
Opening reception, Friday, December 10 @ 7:30
Curator's talk: 8:00 pm
