Visual Arts prof and photographer exhibits new work on international stage
Thursday, August 12, 2021 | By gminaker
Sea, Salt, Moon, Air by Amy Friend, Associate Professor and department Chair of Visual Arts, is part of a new photography exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland.
Originally published in The Brock News WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2021 | by Gillian Minaker
An exhibit showcasing the work of artist and Brock University Associate Professor and Chair of Visual Arts Amy Friend has gained international attention.
Friend was one of eight artists from around the world invited to exhibit their photography at a summer show entitled Ocean at Bildhalle gallery in Zurich, Switzerland. Bildhalle, founded in 2013 by Mirjam Cavegn, is a highly respected art gallery presenting world class photography.
The exhibition, which explores the motif of water through different aesthetics, was recently featured in the International Edition of The Guardian in their Art and Design section. The article displayed a selection of images from the exhibition and provided details on each artist and their work.
Becoming 0.4% by Amy Friend from the international exhibition Ocean.
In her artistic practice, the theme of water and ever-shifting seascapes is of great interest to Friend and is woven through much of her creative work. Due to the travel restrictions of the global pandemic, Friend found herself reflecting on past times at the seaside during which she collected samples of water from across the world.
Friend's photographs featured in the Ocean exhibition came to fruition when she revisited 20 years worth of her photographs involving water and seascapes. Drawing on the notion that photography acts a as vault containing moments from the past, she fused her ideas together.
"Looking at the abundant images of water in my personal collection, I began to consider my connection to these places and what it meant to take so many images like this," said Friend. "I questioned what was possible to accomplish with this collection, given my stationary position due to COVID."
After selecting a series of the photographs, Friend printed them and then soaked them in the salt water she had collected during previous travels.
"Over time, the sea water evaporated, leaving a residue of salt on the print," Friend said.
She said her pieces Tiny Tears Fill the Ocean (2020) and Endothelium Waves (2020) examine the connection between the body and the ocean.
"The interplay between the salt content of water and the salt content of our bodies, including our tears, is of particular interest," she said. "Our bodily connection to place is something that continues to resurface in my practice."
Through the exploration of themes of tears and loss, there is an environmental aspect to the work. Although the photographs are not specifically about the effects of climate change, Friend said "it is important to reflect on loss from an environmental standpoint when viewing these works."
With the exhibition running into the fall, Friend is looking forward to sharing the details of her experience with her students.
"It is important that they see others actively engaging within a creative community. By sharing my experience with them, I hope to provide a bit of real-world insight related to the planning and trouble-shooting involved when preparing for exhibitions," she said.
To view the exhibition Ocean, visit the Bildhalle website.

Visual Art professor's work chosen for prestigious U.K. exhibition
Wednesday, November 06, 2019 | By dvivian
"Wayfinding in Cold Light from the Multi-Verse Series" by Amy Friend, an Assistant Professor in Brock's Department of Visual Arts, is one of just 55 photographs included in this year's Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, U.K.
(published in The Brock News TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 05, 2019 | by Alison Innes )
Nearly 4,000 portraits by more than 1,000 photographers from 70 countries were submitted, but only 55 were chosen for this year's Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Exhibition in the United Kingdom.
One of those portraits is by Amy Friend, an Assistant Professor of Visual Arts at Brock's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Art.
The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize is a prestigious annual award that attracts amateur and professional photographers alike. Only 55 of the 3,700 submissions were chosen for the exhibition. Three photos are shortlisted for the top award of £15,000 (approximately $25,000 CAD).
"Having my work included in the Taylor Wessing Portrait Exhibition is an exciting adventure in my creative practice," said Friend. "I had been working on this long-term project for several years, so it is uplifting to see this new work recognized. The piece has personal connections, which extends this recognition in a meaningful way."
Friend's series Multi-Verse draws on her own and found photographs featuring diverse subject matter and imagery from across several time periods to explore the idea of a multi-verse. The series references both the idea of alternate realities and the numerous stories or 'verses' the viewer encounters in the photographs.
She uses experimental photographic methods and manual manipulation to alter photos. While they are not overtly political photographs, her works references darker elements such as floodwaters and images of soldiers.
"I reference the past, the here and now, the visible and invisible, literally and poetically, albeit not through overtly political photographs," said Friend. "The medium of photography has always had a currency of possibility. In this series I work to find meaning in the chaos, to be with it and to look for an alternate story from where we are — a multiverse."
The exhibition opens at the National Portrait Gallery in London, U.K., on Tuesday, Nov. 5 and carries through to February 2020. The exhibition will then go on tour throughout the U.K.
In 2017, a portrait by Finnish artist Maija Tammi, who studied under Friend, won third place in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize.

(From: The Brock Press, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2019 | by Emma Kirwin)
The Italian Immigrant Experience, A Photography Exhibition by Vincenzo Pietropaolo in conjunction with the Italian Canadian Archives Project is an exhibition that was displayed at Brock's own Marilyn I. Walker building. The exhibition celebrates Italian immigrants in Canada.
This exhibition features 50 photographs from the books Ritual and Not Paved with Gold, by Vincenzo Pietropaolo. Many of the photographs pictured workers on construction sites and in factories. They are accompanied by 15 photographs of Italian immigrants working on the Welland Ship Canal. These photographs pay homage to the immigrant experience and showcases their hard work, religion and happiness.
In Not Paved in Gold, Pietropaolo writes "My father … would inevitably point out certain buildings or sites where he had worked as part of a construction crew. And, again, he would tell me yet another anecdote about the vast quantities of bricks he carried around that site; or the overtime they were required to do, pouring cement in the wintry dark days of November; and sometimes he remembered a job site where an accident occurred because of lax or non-existent safety regulations … I began to realize that my father was not merely a worker, but a builder of my new adopted country."
The dimly lit photographs of factory workers, both male and female, captured day to day life for Italian immigrants. The photos are from a sock factory and the workers were surrounded by towering stacks of plain white socks, reflecting the repetitive work immigrants were usually required to do.
Along with factory workers, there were many photographs of construction workers. Men both young and old huddled around for photos, posing with their tools on their job site. Photos of railway work, steelwork and construction show the hard, labour intensive work immigrants were willing to do for their new country. Viewing these photographs reminded attendees of the importance and value of immigrant labour. Their hard work, and exploitation, has resulted in fruitful industrial sites like the Welland Ship Canal.
Pietropaolo balanced these photographs of immigrants toiling with joyful photos showing the rich tradition of Italian immigrants. Young girls showing off their brace-filled smiles, laughing at each other and another picture of a senior couple smiling while dancing. The contrast of ages in this collection was striking and accentuated the multi-generational dynamics of immigration.
Religion was also a featured theme in this exhibit. Many of the photographs were filled with swarms of people surrounding religious relics and crucifixes. Other photographs showcased people knelt in prayer. These pictures highlight the heavy religious importance in Italian culture, a value that they carried with them to their new home country.
One photograph that encapsulates the exhibition is of a hand scribing a letter. The first lines read "Canada is a democracy, the govt (government) represents the people." This captures the immigrant experience in Canada, reminding the audience of the political liberties Canadians enjoy that many others did not have in the past and are still robbed of today. Those seeking asylum often come to Canada in order to enjoy those democratic rights, as seen in the letter photographed.
In Ritual, Pietropaolo writes, "… it is a chapter of working-class culture and immigrant history that has long been overlooked, sometimes dismissively, for its surface colour and ethnic flavour. But herein lies the power of photography: to help you bear witness, and in so doing, becoming empowered to write a history of one's own."
This exhibition was a beautiful ode to Italian immigrants. Their labours that helped create Canada and the hardships that they endured to make a new life for themselves.
"The Italian Immigrant Experience: A Photography exhibition by Vincenzo Pietropaolo in conjunction with the Italian Canadian Archives Project" will be viewable until Sunday, October 27, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts, VISA Gallery and Student Exhibition Space. An artist talk will take place on October 26 at 11:30 a.m. at this location.

Three exhibits this week for Visual Arts
Monday, April 02, 2018 | By dtemprile
This is a busy week for exhibitions under Brock's Department of Visual Arts (VISA).
From April 2 to 6, students in the VISA department are presenting three exhibitions: CORE, SITE-SEER, and (un)hidden.
Now open in the Rodman Hall Art Centre is the exhibit CORE. VISA students will have their smaller works in Rodman Hall's Flex Space, which will be imagined as a larger site and a centre from where the work branches out to the other destinations in the show. CORE is open to view at Rodman Hall from now until April 13. Gallery hours can be found on their website and admission is by donation, but free for members and students.
When visiting Rodman Hall be sure to see the Brock University Department of Visual Arts Honours Exhibition: just resting my eyes, on display until April 8.
The second exhibit, SITE-SEER, is an extension of the first. SITE-SEER is a one-night exhibition being held Wednesday, April 4 from 4 to 9 p.m., where the downtown area of St. Catharines will serve as gallery space. Students from Donna Akrey's Advanced Art Practices course are taking their creations from the CORE exhibit and dispersing them throughout downtown St. Catharines in hopes that their pieces will lure locals into seeing sites in a new way.
Participating artists for both CORE and SITE-SEER include: Hani Ahmed, Jess Angelevski, Teresa Badgley, Jessica Bradley, Tom Denton, Isabella Domaradzki, Kylie Haveron, Emma Hutchison-Hounsell, Laura Levesque, Avery Mikolic-O'Rourke, Amanda Misale, Anna Podvalni, Victoria Reid, Kourtney Spadoni and Desiree Veino.
Maps with more information about the artworks, their locations and times will be available at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts on Wednesday night when SITE-SEER is held.

Art exhibit receptions to mark International Women's Day
Wednesday, March 14, 2018 | By dtemprile
The opening reception of "Silent Areas: The Spaces in Between," Cat Stambolic and Sarah Martin, takes place Thursday, March 8 at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
Brock's arts community will mark International Women's Day on Thursday, March 8 with two art exhibition receptions.
On display at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts Visual Arts Gallery and student exhibition space, "Silent Areas: The Spaces in Between" features the work of third-year Visual Arts student Sarah Martin and recent Brock Visual Arts graduate Cat Stambolic (BA '17).
The exhibition, which initially opened Feb. 15 and runs until Saturday, March 24, explores the disconnect between mind and body, deemed 'silent areas.'
Exploring the theme separately through their previous work, the pair came together to create the exhibit, which investigates "connections between mind and body; specifically, what happens if and when that connection is interrupted," explained Stambolic.
Both women are strong advocates of mental health.
"Our work hangs in conversation with each other's," Stambolic said, and is "truly representative of the open dialogue we need to create regarding mental illness."
Her work featured in the show is directly related to her own sensory experiences, which resulted in feeling a disconnect from her physical body.
"The process of making these pieces was a way to resolve these sensations and emotions, re-envisioning them as tangible sculptures," she said.
Martin uses her photographs to create visual representation of "restlessness and unconsciousness, how feelings of anxiety can create out-of-body experiences and feelings of existentialism."
Her work in this exhibit depicts women exclusively in order to "refocus the narrative of women creating work featuring women, instead of from a male perspective," she said. "Using the female figure in a powerful way reclaims ownership of the female body and creates a new narrative of empowerment and self-reflection."
Both artists will be at the exhibition's reception to discuss their work on Thursday, March 8 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Also that evening, from 6 to 8 p.m., is the opening reception of "Expressions of Today/Expressions d'aujourd'hui" at the Niagara Arts Centre, 354 St. Paul St.
Featuring work from Brock's Studies in Arts and Culture, and French Studies students, the exhibit explores contemporary expressions in art and literature, with pieces creating unusual stories mixing narrative and art-making.
"Expressions of Today/Expressions d'aujourd'hui" will be on display at the NAC until Friday, March 16.
For information on upcoming events, visit the MIWSFPA website.

World-class photographer with a Brock connection
Monday, December 18, 2017 | By dtemprile
"One of Them Is a Human #1" by Maija Tammi won third place in this year's Taylor-Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. Tammi studied photography at Brock in 2008-09 with Visual Arts professor Amy Friend. (Image copyright Maija Tammi; Used by permission).
(Source: The Brock News | Friday Dec. 15, 2017 by Alison Innes)
At first glance, the photo is a portrait of a young woman.
On closer inspection, the 'woman' isn't human at all. It is, in fact, an android called Erica, developed by Hiroshi Ishiguro Laboratories in Osaka University, Japan.
The photograph, taken by Finnish artist Maija Tammi and titled "One of Them is a Human #1," won third prize in this year's prestigious Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize.
The photograph also has a surprising Brock connection.
Finnish artist Maija Tammi, who studied at
Brock University in 2008-09
Tammi spent a year studying film and art at Brock University in 2008-09. Although she already had a background in photojournalism, her experience at Brock, and in particular a course with Professor Amy Friend, encouraged her towards art photography.
"The Visual Arts program at Brock offers an abundance of opportunity for one-on-one interactions in class with students and professors," says Friend.
Such interactions allow for personalized and concentrated instruction that allow students to reach their potential.
"Maija flourished in this environment and took advantage of the surrounding community with her interactive installations and thought-provoking course projects," says Friend.
Tammi cites the film Five Obstructions, which she first saw in Friend's course, as particularly influential.
The 1967 film shows the remaking of the same story five times, each with a different obstruction. This process of rethinking and reframing inspired Tammi.
"Once you have thought of a concept," she explains, "you rethink it several times from different perspectives."
Tammi was immediately interested in the ways obstructions can encourage creativity and used the idea in her class project, redoing the same photograph multiple times with different obstructions.
This experience in Friend's course influenced her approach to photography. She gives herself obstructions, such as limiting her camera gear, to encourage her own creativity.
Tammi is particularly attracted to portraiture, which she says tells us more about ourselves as viewers of the photograph than the subject of the photo as we project our stereotypes on them.
One of Them is a Human #1 has attracted a lot of attention in the arts community. Although the Taylor Wessing contest rules state that the subject needs to be alive, Tammi's photograph was accepted because it raises important questions about what it means to be human.
"I'm very excited about the conversation that has arisen," Tammi says. "It is time to think about what it means to be alive."
Tammi doesn't shy away from difficult subjects; she is currently completing a practise-based PhD exploring representations of sickness in art photography.
"I like topics that are very difficult and people don't like to talk about," she says.
Friend, who exhibited work in the same show as Tammi in New York in August 2015, has been watching her former student's success closely.
"Her success is indicative of the connections that many students make with classmates and professors," Friend says. "When I see opportunities that fit her areas of expertise I send them her way. These are the types of extended interactions that happen when we are given space to know our students."
Tammi's work was one of three finalists chosen from more than 5,717 submissions. Selected submissions, including the shortlisted portraits and competition winner, are on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London, England.

A Special One Night Art Exhibition
On January 17, students from Donna Akrey's 3M90 Advanced Art Practices will be "transplanting their work into the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts building". Everyone is invited to explore this one night exhibition between 4 and 9 p.m. Maps will be given out to help navigate the space to see the works – some easy to find, others more hidden.
Invasive Species is a collection of self-directed works from third and fourth year students in the 3M90 ADVANCED ART PRACTICES course. This exhibition focuses on themes of information, architecture, the archive, regionality, subjectivity and objectivity, death, resilience, ecology, mental health, space, the institution, invasive and symbiotic species, and site-specific art. The works are comprised of painting, drawing, video, projection, animation, performance, and installation. All of the artists respond to the unique specificities and conditions of the facility and its site.
Victoria Reid, visual arts student in Donna Akrey's 3M90 course says her objective is "to personify objects in the architecture and space around us to show our connection to the architecture. I chose to do this in order to bring awareness to our relationship and contribution to the growing industrial landscape around us."
This event marks the mid-year point as the student progress to a final site-specific exhibition proposed to take over parts of downtown St. Catharines in April 2018.
In order to provoke creativity and thought into this exhibition, Akrey asked her students, "if your work was to fit in this space (the MIW) and not the white cube – where might it go?" She says, "This allows the students to consider their work outside of the gallery and in effect pushes research further (as well as the logistics of mounting visual art in difficult spaces). The students have risen to it and are doing a great job."
Reid comments on what this course and the opportunity of this exhibition has taught her, "Through the process of making this work, I learned how to step outside my comfort zone and I learned that art can be art, even when in unconventional spaces apart from the gallery."
Donna Akrey is a part-time instructor of visual arts at Brock University. Her exhibition, Also Also held at Rodman Hall from February to April of 2017, was nominated for Exhibition of the Year: Budget Under $20, 000 (Monographic) Award by the Ontario Association of Art Galleries (OAAG). Her collaboration as a member of the Hamilton Perambulatory Unit was recently seen in the Downtown/s – Urban Renewals Today for Tomorrow: The 2017 Windsor-Essex Triennial of Contemporary Art.
Isabella Domaradzki, artist, member of the organizational team for Invasive Species, and student in the 3M90 course says what she looks forward to most about this one night exhibition "is seeing our hard work in creating our art and planning this show come to life. We have learned so many valuable lessons throughout this experience that have shaped our identity as artists, and I think it will be exciting to visualize our growth and progress!"
This one night exhibition is a free event held at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts from 4 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday Jan. 17. Refreshments and snacks will be served in the MIWSFPA lobby. Visit the Invasive Species Facebook event page to stay updated with this exciting event.

AMY FRIEND, INCONNUS FAMILIERS / Familiar Strangers
"Amy Friend est une photographe canadienne. «Dare alla luce» («apporter à la lumière») est un travail où l'artiste mêle vieux clichés familiaux et photos glanées au hasard de ses promenades. Une fois perforées et rétro-éclairées, la lumière révèle une seconde fois le cliché. Grâce à ce procédé, Amy peut donner une seconde vie à ses photographies. Des notions telles que l'histoire intime, la mémoire, la présence et l'absence traversent tout son travail."
from www.liberation.fr/photographie/2017/08/21/amy-friend-inconnus-familiers_1590958
Amy Friend is a Canadian photographer. In "Dare alla luce" (bringing to light), she collects old family portraits and photos gathered in her walks. Once perforated and backlighted, the light reveals the images a second time. Through this process Amy gives a second life to her photographs. Notions of privacy, memory, presence and absence cross-pollinate her work.
