CURATORIAL STATEMENT
Thrown Forth is the title of this year's exhibition of work by graduating students in the Art and Art History Program. This program was established in 1971 when Sheridan joined with the University of Toronto's Erindale College to create Canada's first collaborative fine art program between a college and a university. This year marks the 39th Anniversary of the UTM/Sheridan joint program.
The integration of theory and practice in the A&AH program allows students to develop an interdisciplinary approach to cultural production. In their artwork, the graduating students of the Art and Art History program question the conditions of cultural emergence through drawing, painting, performance, print, design, sculpture, photography and video. Thrown Forth demonstrates the instability and fervor of graduation as a collective dispersal of disjunctive aesthetics and affects. As these graduating students hurtle towards the professionalization of their practice, the limits of the contemporaneous and the redundant are played out in the work shown at this exhibition.
The Art and Art History Program, Sheridan/University of Toronto Mississauga
Students graduating from the Art and History program receive the benefit of both a Diploma in studio arts from the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto Mississauga. Alumni have pursued careers in teaching, both at the secondary and post-secondary level, while others go onto to earn their Masters in Studio Art or Art History.
