Its magical powers are > compacted into a one inch case travelling in one specific direction. > Infamously, this tool doesn’t exist; so we must look elsewhere for a > miraculous remedy. Creative practices mimic a journey in search for a magical > solution that remains elusive. However, as we are not simply trying to > complete an equation, there isn’t necessarily a correct or defined answer to > what we search for. The ability to compact the complexities of life into > creative thinking and making has the potential to soothe what concerns us, > though few would describe the effects as instantaneous or absolute. > > > > The 36 artists featured in Silver Bullets, the University of Victoria’s 2024 > BFA Undergraduate Exhibition, all explore a means to solve something within > them or their environment. Themes present in the exhibition include locating > and quantifying oneself through explorations of sexual, cultural, and racial > identity, as well as relationships to the body. Several artists in the > exhibition are in dialogue with memory, grief, trauma, and generational > shifts; their approaches vary from representation to abstraction. Others focus > their efforts on issues outside the self. These artists investigate > consumerism, propaganda, political ideologies, and the deterioration of > natural and urban environments. In the safety of our studios, magical > explorations of art present the possibility to cure these complex, intangible > issues. > > > > — Satya Underhill Garcia and Rebecca Fux, Curatorial Chairs > > Enter the gallery During the Winter 2023 semester, our artists also had the opportunity to display their works in four smaller galleries within the UVic Visual Arts Building. THE 2024 GRADUATING CLASS WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR GENEROUS DONORS FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS Silver Bullets is a graduation exhibition held at the University of Victoria, held in the Visual Arts Building April 19–28. * Mail * Instagram GALLERIES * Facing * Chair * Mezzanine * Silver Bullets * Home * Exhibition Board * Catalogue * Artists * Territory Acknowledgement Designed by Elegant Themes | Powered by WordPress
