Ars De Centum

The exhibition ran from 9 of September to 14 of October 2011 in Memorial Hall, UNB Art Centre in Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada.
It celebrated the BAA program reaching 100 graduates. In each work in the exhibition the number or concept of a 100 was embeded.

The exhibition was mentioned in the Telegraph Journal on Sep. 3rd, in the Dayily Gleaner on Sep. 20th, as well as the Fredericton Arts Alliance News on Sep. 8th (6th item).
Ars De Centum was also featured in the UNB website.

"I have chosen to combine the concept of a 100 with that of the cornerstone or a milestone. The piece marks the base of learning and the guideline that I return to in my current career and life as well as another leg in my personal journey, and my journey as a BAA graduate."

-From the Artist Statement-

"Ars de centum translates to mean ‘art concerning, taken from or made of one hundred’. In 2010 the number of graduates from the program reached 100, a milestone in the partnership between the two post-secondary institutions. BAA graduates participating in the exhibition interpreted, through various media, the concept or physicality of one hundred. From a quantity to a rite of passage, one hundred is the central unifying idea that inspired painters, photographers, graphic designers, potters, fibre artists, sculptors, illustrators, jewelers, fashion designers and more to create one-of-a-kind gallery pieces for this exhibition. In a marriage between intellect and craft, this exhibition displays the very essence of a course of study firmly rooted in both academia and technical excellence."
