The Averted Eye SeesThe Life and Work of Glenn HowarthJuly 30, 2016 to October 23, 2016 Curated by Jenelle Pasiechnik (UVic MA, 2015) Legacy Maltwood (at the Mearns Centre – McPherson Library) Glenn Howarth was a pillar in Victoria’s arts scene from the late 1970s until his death in 2009. He was an innovative creator and inspired teacher searching for ways to communicate the artistic process and the perceptual functions of the eye and brain that contribute to visual perception. He was also responsible for innovations in computer graphic art in the early 1980s working on the Telidon system as an artist in residence in the Engineering Department at the University of Victoria campus with Dr. Ernest Chang. In 1983 he represented Canada in the Sao Paulo Biennale with some of this work and also presented it locally at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and UVic’s Maltwood Art Museum and Gallery. The Averted Eye Sees draws on UVic's significant collection of Howarth paintings from the Michael C. Williams estate, as well as Howarth’s writing, sketches, ephemera, and digital archive, part of the regional artists archive initiative of UVic Libraries Special Collections and Archives. It also includes a fascinating case study on the challenges of ‘retro-computing’ in recreating Howarth’s early experiments in digital artwork. |

Upcoming
IN DEFIANCEArtist/collaborator- Lindsay DelarondeOpens October 8, 2016 630 Yates Street The exhibition premiering at UVic’s Legacy Art Gallery, IN DEFIANCE emerges from Iroquois Mohawk artist Lindsay Delaronde’s photographic project entitled Squaw. This project, in utter defiance to that negative word long often used to denigrate Indigenous women, seeks to break down the stereotypes. These individual portraits dismantle the negative stereotypes of First Nations women by allowing the individuals to portray themselves more authentically reflecting truth of diversity, power, and respect. |
