2011 MFA THESIS EXHIBITIONS

April 21-May 14, 2011
University of Waterloo Art Gallery

Opening Reception:  
Thursday, April 21 from 5:00-8:00 pm

Gallery One
Heidi Jahnke
Weird Fiction

A salon-style grouping of paintings, Weird Fiction captures the artist's idiosyncratic view of the world at large. Figurative elements collide with vernacular subject matter and aspects of the irrational to suggest unlikely narratives, juxtapositions and tensions.

Heidi Jahnke received her BFA from NSCAD University in 2005 and is currently completing her MFA at the University of Waterloo. She is the recent recipient of the Sylvia Knight Award for Graduate Studio Excellence and will be participating in an upcoming group exhibition at Art Mûr in Montréal.  www.heidijahnke.ca


Gallery Two 
Gary Carlson
Place 2 

Place 2 depicts a typical outlet mall viewed through the ruins of an older building in the process of deconstruction. Through representations of the built environment the video montage suggests the increasingly convoluted relationship between the mediated environment and its viewers.

Gary Carlson is a media artist who received his BFA from Thompson Rivers University and is currently completing his MFA at the University of Waterloo. In the summer of 2010, he interned with video artist Jennifer Steinkamp as part of the Keith and Win Shantz Summer internship.  www.garycarlson.ca
