www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 26, 2008 - 37 Sheridan students' work part of photography display at Toronto gallery Four art and art history students from the joint program of Oakville's Sheridan College and the University of Toronto currently have their photography on display at a Toronto gallery. VMAC Gallery, located at 401 Richmond St. on the fourth floor, will house the exhibition of the fourth-year students until Saturday, March 29. The show is called IV, and features the work of Jiye Julie Bai, Daimane Duffus, Laura Lee Filosa and Megan Morgan. Bai explores the notion of transcendence in everyday life as shown through light patterns on common surfaces. The images work to establish a connection between the transcendent and the mundane. Duffus treats his own domestic reality as a stage set. Inspired by a character from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, Duffus mixes concepts of reality and fiction to produce a series of images that allude to narrative. He creates a façade of reality that draws the viewer into the image and heightens its believability as a reflection of the real world. Filosa chooses animal behaviour and anthropomorphic attributions as her subject. Using video to look at the relationship between dogs and owners, she attempts to establish a new understanding of artistic authorship. Morgan photographs images of women that explore themes of feminine and cultural identity. She uses cropping as a technique to emphasize what she wants the viewer to see. Her images of women from life and film attempt to reveal how feminine identity is created through social and cultural realities. The closing reception will be held Saturday, March 29 from 2-4 p.m. All four artists will be in attendance. Gallery hours at VMAC Gallery are Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m. ­ 5 p.m., and Saturday, 12 ­ 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.IVexhibition.info The exhibition is sponsored by Vtape. The art and art history program emphasizes both the hands-on creativity of studio art and the perspective of art history and theory. Students explore contemporary ideas, practices, and materials in art studios, while academic courses examine the art and architecture of a range of past and current cultures and traditions.
