On September 11, Post Image cluster will launch the first edition of The Crit Club!
WHAT IS THE CRIT CLUB?
This initiative aims to foster a supportive environment where you can present your work, receive constructive feedback, and find motivation to advance your practice beyond the classroom setting. Every Crit Club edition will feature a different guest artist who will lead each session.
The Crit Club will take place every two months, and we will be selecting three participants to present their work each session. This intimate format ensures that each student receives focused and meaningful feedback. Submissions from participants, from any Concordia University Studio Arts Master Program (Photo, Sculpture, Print Media, etc.) will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to act quickly once the call for submissions is announced.
The ethos of the Crit Club is to be experimental, multidisciplinary, and supportive. Each session will be paired with a short reading that explores the idea and practice of art critiques critically. What does it mean to speak verbally about the visual? What are the different approaches one can take?
Whether you are exploring new techniques, developing a body of work, or seeking guidance on a project, the Crit Club is the perfect venue to share your progress and engage with your peers and faculty members.
ABOUT ABBAS AKHAVAN:
Born 1977 in Tehran (Iran), lives and works in Montreal (Canada).
The work of Abbas Akhavan ranges from site-specific ephemeral installations to drawing, video, sculpture and performance. The direction of his research has been deeply influenced by the specificity of the sites where he works: the architectures that house them, the economies that surround them, and the people that frequent them.
Abbas Akhavan is represented by the galleries Catriona Jeffries (Vancouver) and The Third Line (Dubai).
