À propos

In Attending the Apocalypse Jennifer Lee Wiebe and Janice Wright Cheney provide a commentary on contemporary society by exploring the idea of networks— both digital and biological. Social media, like mycelia, has a broad network and an organic reach.

In Scratchcards for the Apocalypse, Jennifer Lee Wiebe explores language and our understanding of content in a series of canvasses painted with tweets made by Donald Trump since 2015. In Elysium, Janice Wright Cheney explores the symbolic power of mushrooms and the potential for mycelia to reshape our society.

UNB Art Centre

UNB ART CENTRE

Founded in 1941 by prominent Canadian artists Pegi Nicol MacLeod and Lucy Jarvis, the UNB Art Centre was conceived as a link between the university and the wider community. For 75 years the UNB Art Centre has provided access to the visual arts and delivered innovative learning opportunities to people of all ages.

Through the presentation of exhibitions, special programs and events, the UNB Permanent Collection, workshops, and non-credit courses, the UNB Art Centre promotes dialogue and stimulates thought and discussion, at times challenging traditional concepts of art and art-making practice.

As part of the College of Extended Learning, the UNB Art Centre contributes to lifelong learning at UNB by engaging members of the public in a creative and supportive learning environment while encouraging the development of technical skill, visual literacy and the exploration of new horizons.

Taking a multi-cultural, multi-generational and multi-disciplinary approach, the UNB Art Centre participates in making the City of Fredericton a vibrant cultural destination.
