THE UNB ART CENTRE PAYS TRIBUTE TO R.M. VAUGHAN

The UNB Art Centre presents its first exhibition of 2021 online with Cut.Paste.Resist.Redux which opens January 3-31, 2021 at https://www.unb.ca/cel/enrichment/art-centre/online-exhibits/index.html.

This exhibition reconfigures works sent in for a pop-up exhibition called Cut/Paste/Resist, co-created by UNB’s 2020 Writer-in-Residence R.M. Vaughan and Dr. Ken Moffatt, the Jack Layton Chair in Social Work at Ryerson University.  This exhibition was presented at UNB’s Student Union Building February 10-12 just before the COVID-19 pandemic forced a total shut down of the UNB campus.

According to R.M. Vaughan “In times of protest and social upheaval (and social rejuvenation) artists and activists turn to collage to make a point.” The call for submissions specifically stated that the project was open to everyone— artists and non-artists alike, using collage as a democratic medium “because collage is a fun accessible way to make art.”

As part of this tribute, The UNB Art Centre in collaboration with Dr. Ken Moffatt has invited friends of R.M. Vaughan to select a passage from one of his many works of poetry, prose and criticism.  These readings will be released on social media throughout the month of January as a way to honour R.M. Vaughan’s memory and to mark the tremendous loss to the cultural community of this gifted Canadian artist.

The UNB Art Centre is currently closed for renovations. Please follow our exhibits and programs on-line at  http://www.unb.ca/cel/enrichment/art-centre/index.html

One toy per thousand

Concept art project

One toy per thousand

Nicole Haché, artist

One Toy Per Thousand is a concept art project. A priori, a simple idea. A ball Christmas “Made in China”, toilet paper “Made in Canada”, New Brunswick and a title inspired by the lyrics of the songPetit Papa Noël . This project took form in order to immortalize the year 2020 while stimulating reflection on social behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The ball, coming from China, makes a link with the city of Wuhan where the disease was detected for the first time in November 2019. Here, a reflection is necessary in front of the massive importation of goods, which arrive from this country per thousand. 

At the start of the pandemic, the behavior towards the purchase of toilet paper and the feeling of security that goes with it provokes questions. The transparency of the ball acts as a reference to an object that can be broken in an emergency (“In case of emergency”), often associated with red. 

A Christmas ball with a message and a nod to the scarcity of toilet paper in March 2020.The balls will be on sale at Librairie Pélagie in Caraquet and Shippagan as well as at Café-Boutique Aloha in Lamèque on Monday. Since it’s the year 2020, $ 20 (+ HST) each. They are signed and numbered.
I can’t wait to see who will be interested in this item ….
You can follow the progress of the project on the artist’s professional page in the album A toy per thousand

Mike Trask under a Yellow Sky  

From Grid City Magazine: “Yellow Sky, [Mike Trask’s] second single of 2020, continues down this path. The song begins with a dark groove that lands somewhere between stoner-funk and pure psych-rock, with Trask pushing his voice and range to the peak with a challenge that seems to sum up his entire creative vision in one short phrase – You change your world, I’ll change mine. A big blue sun in a yellow sky. What more needs to be said? The accompanying video created by Amanda Fox takes it over the top.”  +++ info >

J.E.A. Crake Art Critics at Large

J.E.A. Crake Art Critics at LargeThe Owens Art Gallery is pleased to announce a new student mentorship project—the J.E.A. Crake Art Critics at Large program. This professional development initiative is designed to give aspiring student writers the opportunity to work with an experienced art critic under circumstances similar to those of professional, independent art critics. Students work independently and as part of an editorial team developing content for an online art magazine that will be launched on Convocation Weekend (May 2021). During this internship, students will work under the supervision of Emily Falvey, Director/Curator of the Owens Art Gallery. Their work will be professionally edited and copyedited and they will receive feedback and mentorship in the fundamentals of art writing. They will also have the opportunity to discuss professional art criticism with several practicing art critics.
The J.E.A. Crake Art Critics at Large for 2020-2021 are Shivanya AlbasJordan ArsenaultLaika (Pollock) Dadoun, and Noah Lubendo.
Shivanya Albas is a second-year Bachelor of the Fine Arts student at Mount Allison University, with minors in Art History and Sociology. She was born and raised in the Okanagan Valley where, with the assistance and inspiration of committed helpers and family, she developed a burning desire to contribute something of value. Albas has risen to a position of leadership, citizenship, artistic and academic achievement in her community. She is a member of several groups across campus, including the Indigenous Student Support Group (ISSG), and is part of the Bennett House Executive as a Residence Assistant. Through the visual arts and courageous, inclusive storytelling, she is committed to creating a voice for those on the margins seeking the light. Her motto is, “If you’re destined to be a little odd, you might as well defy the odds.” 
 
Jordan Arsenault is currently a student at Mount Allison University who hopes to find work in the environmental field. He recently moved to Sackville from just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2018, he was a volunteer with Katimavik in Winnipeg and Nanaimo. The following year, he was selected to attend the ECOSOC Youth Forum in New York with UNA-Canada, as well as the Prime Minister’s Youth Summit in Ottawa. While he isn’t entirely sure where he is headed in life, he knows there will be many amazing adventures along the way!
 
Laika (Pollock) Dadoun is a third-year student in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at Mount Allison, with a minor in Museum and Curatorial Studies. Her career aspirations shifted to arts and culture management in 2017, after volunteering as a curatorial assistant at Canada’s Penitentiary Museum, where she also worked subsequently as an attendant. This will be Dadoun’s second occasion working with the Owens, as she served previously as the J.E.A. Crake ArtsWork Accessibility Intern in 2019. Her academic and studio achievements include the Laura Sophia Wood Prize, which she received consecutively in 2019 and 2020. 
 
Noah Lubendo is an emerging writer based in Vancouver, Canada, and a student at Mount Allison University, where he majors in Political Science and minors in Sociology. As a poet and essayist, Lubendo is concerned with cultural hybridity, post-colonial thought, and Blackness as it relates to his Congolese heritage. His writing is influenced primarily by Ta-nehisi Coates, Jericho Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, and he hopes to publish a full-length manuscript soon. Although still improving his craft, Lubendo recently won the regional IPAC Student Thought and Leadership Award and was selected for publication by Vancouver Poetry House.
The J.E.A. Crake Art Critics at Large program was made possible with the generous support of the J.E.A. Crake Foundation and Mount Allison University. J.E.A. Crake ArtsWork Internships are intended to provide Mount Allison University students with opportunities for experiential learning and to enable them to explore career options in the Arts.
We would like to acknowledge, honour, and pay respect to the traditional owners and custodians—from all four directions—of the land on which we live. It is upon the unceded, ancestral lands of the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq) that the Owens Art Gallery is located. While this area is known as Sackville, New Brunswick, it is part of Siknikt, a district of the greater territory of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” which the Mi’kmaq Wolastoqiyik, and Peskotomuhkati first signed with the British Crown in 1725.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the physical spaces of the Owens Art Gallery and Colville House are currently closed to the public. To find out more about our online, onscreen, and off-site programs, please visit mta.ca/owens and umbrellaprojects.ca.

La pandémie casse la tradition du spectacle Noël en Acadie

Le virus aura eu droit au spectacle annuel Noël en Acadie qui devait avoir lieu ce samedi 28 novembre 2020 au Centre Weslyan de Moncton, NB. C’est avec beaucoup de peine que Laurie LeBlanc et son équipe ont dû annoncer aux 1,500 détenteurs de billet que le spectacle a dû être reporté au vendredi 26 novembre 2021.  +++ info >

It’s time for Goose Lane’s ho ho holiday sale

Happy Holidays!
‘Tis the season for baking cookies and stringing lights, or for the lighting of the menorah. For book lovers out there, it can mean hiding away from the cold weather with a good book! We hope everyone finds a way to spread some festive cheer in the upcoming weeks, even if it simply means finding some cheer for yourself. Though in-store shopping and certain events may be off the table for many, it’s possible that we may form new traditions; but no matter what, we promise to keep sharing our love of books with you.
This season, Goose Lane has an exciting online store-wide holiday sale, and it starts today! From now until January 1st, use promo code HOHO15 and receive 15% off your book purchase. If you don’t have a particular book in mind, head to our Curated Holiday Collection and find gifts for every type of book lover from fiction and poetry to history and art books. For the Christmas spirited, there’s An Orange from Portugal, for the history hearted we have Acadian Driftwood, and for those still lamenting the loss of October, why not the twisted and strange stories of Different Beasts?
Worried about books arriving in time for the holidays? Our complete digital book collection is also included in this sale, making last-minute shopping one holiday tradition you won’t have to pass up!
And oh yes, before I forget, we have a special Flash Sale that starts today! Large and small Peace by ChocolateBundles are now available while supplies last. Each bundle comes with a copy of Peace by Chocolate and delicious chocolate bars from the chocolatier itself. The large bundle even comes with the extra surprise of a limited-edition T-shirt! The perfect gift for the chocolate lover in your life.
There is nothing quite like receiving a book. Sharing a favourite story with someone or enjoying a new tale together make books wonderful, personal gifts — chosen by the giver specially for those who receive. We are so happy to be a part of that exchange!
Best wishes for the holiday season from the Goose Lane family.
Sincerely,
Susanne Alexander
