Montreal Cultural Calendar

Since its inception in 1992, the Faculty of Fine Arts Biennial has showcased the varied practices of teachers from the Department of Fine Arts, offering students and thecommunity the opportunity to glimpse their work outside of the classroom.

Their contributions to this exhibition span a variety of mediapainting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and the written word, among othersillustrating a profound engagement with both traditional practices and new technologies. At the core of the many explorations that this exhibition offers are complexities surrounding the environment (both natural and built); the human condition and the relationships that we forge; the material world; and more intangible elements linked to our existence. Through the work, one can gain insight not only into the artists themselves, but also into the evolving artistic landscape that shapes the Fine Arts department.

By bridging theory and practice, this exhibition nourishes students in their own work, and contributes to a larger dialogue within the artistic community. (Amanda Beattie)

STEVEN COTTINGHAM
Lines Drawn in Sand Become a Valley

La pratique de StevenCottingham met l'accent sur la nature construite des images, non pas pour souligner leur caractre factice, mais plutt pour rvler les systmes technologiques et les conditions sociales qui en impactent le sens. Lines Drawn in Sand Become a Valley rassemble une srie d'uvres vido qui rflchissent sur les jeux de guerre et les simulations, en questionnant leurs usages. Sagit-il de reprsentations de la guerre ou de modles potentiels pour la guerre ? Plus encore, comment les idologies lies la guerre et aux mesures d'urgence dpendent-elles de l'amalgame entre le rel et la reprsentation pour maintenir leur lgitimit ?

MILJOHN RUPERTO
Janus

Avec les films Janus et Acting Exercise: Demon Possession, Miljohn Ruperto voque des tats liminaires entre la vie et un possible au-del, testant nos seuils de perception. Les transitions d'une forme la suivante sont anticipes mais jamais compltes. Cette simultanit droutante de prsences quasi antagonistes, soutenue parune temporalit dilate, stimule l'imaginaire et interpelle nos perceptions, croyances et connaissances.

STEVEN COTTINGHAM
Lines Drawn in Sand Become a Valley

Steven Cottingham's practice emphasizesthe constructed nature of images,not to underline their fakeness, but rather to reveal the technological systems and social conditionsthrough which meaning emerges. Lines Drawn in Sand Become a Valley brings together a series of video works that reflect on wargames andsimulations, questioning their use. Do they act as representations of war or, rather, as models for war? Further, how do ideologies of war and emergency depend on the conflation between real and representational to sustain legitimacy?

MILJOHN RUPERTO
Janus

The films Janusand Acting Exercise: Demon Possession by Miljohn Ruperto test perception thresholds by conjuring liminal states of being between life and a possible beyond. Transitions from one form into the next are anticipated yet never total. This quizzical simultaneity of almost antagonist presences is held in placeby dilating temporalities, startling processes of perceiving, believing, and knowing.
