Tillitarniit: It is said to happen from time to time, Inuit Arts Festival
Tillitarniit is a festival that celebrates Inuit art, film and culture, led by Inuk curator Asinnajaq. "It is said to happen from time to time" is a classic Inuk way to begin a story. The event features Inuit artists, performers, and filmmakers who shape our world today through storytelling. All events were free and open to the public, and took place in the FOFA Gallery Courtyard.

Chris Mendoza, Resting/Resisting Performance
Chris Mendoza performs Resting/Resisting as part of Matter of Place, the undergraduate student exhibition. Throughout the performance, the artist makes numerous attempts to name an unmoving wall as a larger investigation into dividing structures and language. Mendoza’s artistic practice draws from multiple disciplines—sculpture, performance and writing—as a means of interrogating the various ways in which we structure the world around us.

Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (1)
Distant Transmission is a response inspired by Kevin Jung-Hoo Park’s video Letters of a Gaping Zone. Bradley Eng’s piece explores notions of cultural acceptance and a search for a spiritual home. The performance attempts to reflect the human spirit of the performer (Claire MacIsaac) through a process of self-questioning. The performance’s structured improvisation and a series of short repeatable phrases creative processes and larger themes of race, separation, acceptance and death.

Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (2)
Allison Peacock’s LR is a dance developed in response to Trevor Baird’s body of ceramic work, mainly focusing on a pair of hands. While hands produce objects, gesture, and applaud, their intimate details are often obscured. The performance takes cues from various aspects of Baird’s inspirations and objects: the close-ups in graphic novels, narration, surface, and the delicate qualities of the objects themselves. Through hands, Peacock’s piece seeks to refocus the experience of looking at art.

Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (3)
While creating her piece, Monica Rodriguez developed a movement vocabulary, using four Spanish words as inspiration (interno, externo, defender and dividir)—similar to the premise of Chris Mendoza’s Resiting/Resisting. Rodriguez and performer Nickle Peace-Williams worked collaboratively to think through how movement is affected by curiosity and one’s surroundings. By using structured improvisation as a strong influence in this work, is performance remains fresh and real and reacts truthfully to what is happening in the moment.

Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (4)
Nickle Peace-Williams’ performance draws from comedic elements and familiar absurdity. Inspired by the nonsensical visual and linguistic modes behind Holly Fedida’s Disconnecting the Dots, the performance enacts a momentary logic unrelated to what comes before or after. Peace-Williams and performer Magali Cassaubon drew from the animals featured in the tapestry and the co-text, and developed various improvisational tasks, and, from this, found motifs within Fedida’s imagery and disassociated language.
January 25 and February 8, 2018
Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (5)
Emilie van der Waals’ performance is inspired by Clara Lacasse’s photographic series, which documents playful, futuristic, and eerie interactive spaces void of humans. Lacasse’s sci-fi series equally evokes the vastness and wonder of outer space, and the mysterious darkness found in the depths of the ocean. Waals’ performance interprets this, and imagines traveling to another realm or portal, outside of the vitrine of the gallery. Throughout the performance, the body is in a perpetual state of play and wonder.

Performance Evening: Matter of Place Undergraduate Student Exhibition (6)
Robert Gusdal's performance Somebodies Eyes, inspired by Florence Yee's series of paintings This is Not Photorealism, is based first and foremost on notions of authorship. More specifically, his work draws its inspiration from the male gaze and the appropriation of national landscapes (much like the paintings of Kent Monkman.) Ultimately, the dance, performed by Allison Peacock, uses these ideas of the gaze and landscape as a critique on notions of authorship in the visual arts.
