Artist Talk with Marina Roy | Saturday, February 11, 7:00 pm

Free for Members | $5 Non-Members

Join us for a talk by Vancouver-based artist Marina Roy. By using techniques of play and bricolage, Roy deconstructs the "pile-up of language and spectacle" to unearth new meanings and conceptions of reality. Mal de Mer, a new video work that Roy made in collaboration with sound artist Graham Meisner, is on display as part of Landfall and Departure: Prologue. Marina Roy is a Vancouver-based artist working across a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, animation, video, and writing. She has participated in exhibitions across Canada, as well as in Europe, India, and the US. Roy is Associate Professor of visual arts in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia. Roy is interested in creating new visual languages in which human, animal, plant, mineral and microbial life coalesce into new formations, challenging the way industrialized countries think about the natural world we inhabit.
