We’ve just completed a large collaborative project with Emily Carr University and Union Gospel Mission to create and install art in the dining hall of the new UGM building. Taking shape as a class at ECU called ‘The Vicinity of Painting’, 14 students worked tirelessly with their instructor, the Collection and UGM to create beautiful and meaningful installations for the 600+ guests who dine at UGM on a daily basis. The project was an enormous success resulting in three dynamic installation pieces. Videos of the installation of each work can be found on our Vimeo site. Press coverage from the duration of the project is below for more information.
